About me

Wole Olayinka

I trained as a lawyer in Nigeria, then spent a decade telling the stories of startups and software companies as a journalist, PR strategist, and marketer across Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America. These days I do content and digital campaigns for a Canadian SaaS company. Away from my day job, I write fiction and essays; I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from UBC in Vancouver and I run Kurating, a platform celebrating Nigerian artistry.
