Yapping with the wine expert @gozeee_ about the importance of ownership and history in the wine world, especially for africans, and how coming from a different land and keeping that connection is a superpower. - We met at the Africannes experience inside @cannes_lions and she hosted a whole west african wine tasting experience produced by @myrunwaygroup

Meet Ngozi: By day, she's an Ads Account Manager at Google for the Africa market. By night, she's a wine entrepreneur (Épistémê Cuvée) and runs the black owned Hi Spirits Wine Club.

She splits her time between Ireland, France, and the U.S., while traveling constantly to Lagos and Johannesburg. Her work, including wine tasting, has included collaborations with likes of the British Embassy, Amazon, Datadog, Okta, and Aptiv—focusing on AI innovation in entrepreneurship—and has been featured on TEDx and Forbes.

If anyone would like to book a sommelier-led wine tasting, she's the one.
