Amarachi Ubani and I met in Beijing, China last March during the 2023 China International Press Communication Centre (CIPCC) Programme for international journalists.
Two years post breast cancer diagnosis and double mastectomy, I will soon be heading to Venice to participate in the Grenada Pavilion of the Venice Biennale, and introduce my cancer experience with an installation called Foreigner Within: My own Power and Knowing, and a gallery of 20 images called Foreigner Within: New and changed landscape.
I’m moving upwards and forwards; there is no time to waste.
On Thursday, 28 March, Amarachi interviewed me via Zoom from Nigeria. We spoke about my diagnosis and living with cancer, and my thoughts on Catherine, Princess of Wales’ cancer diagnosis. My advice to Catherine: look after yourself, do what makes you happy, and take on no stress. Thanks Amarachi for interviewing me. Looking forward to visiting Nigeria, the place where 29% of my DNA comes from.
