Jola Ayeye stands at the helm of a cultural juggernaut in African media: I Said What I Said. In 2017, she co-created the wildly popular podcast, with FK Abudu, and it has become the leading podcast on the continent. What began as a platform built on the deliciously informal art of Gbéborùn (gossip) evolved into something far more profound. Through her personal platforms and podcast, Ayeye has remained an unwavering advocate for women’s rights and justice. Throughout her journey, Ayeye has demonstrated that meaningful impact comes not from solitary genius but through the patient building of communities and collaborations.
