POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Some stories find you before you even realise you’re looking for them.

When I first arrived in the UK, Leeds was my entry point. I was doing my master’s, finding my feet, and one day, walking to the shops with a friend, I saw a poster:

“Remembering David Oluwale.”

I recognised the name immediately. Nigerian.

But I had no idea who he was.

I went home, searched his name, and discovered the story of a Nigerian man who came to Britain in 1949, made a life in Leeds, and whose final years were marked by homelessness, racism, harassment and violence.

Years later, after finishing my master’s, the first dance work I was commissioned to create was about David.

So it feels significant to return to his story now.

On Nigeria’s Independence Day, and at the beginning of UK Black History Month, I’m remembering David Oluwale.

Not just how he died.

But who he was.

A Nigerian abroad. A man who came before many of us. A story that should not have been forgotten.

Remember him.

Sometimes myself and @davidrhinoo freestyle, but most times it’s all in the rehearsal. Every little detail counts when it’s showtime.
