About Me

A desire to tell stories is what propels our writer.

Ibukun - a Yoruba Queen in her own right - is a young creator with a desire to bring the stories of those often pushed to the side to the forefront.

Give Me A Second was born out of a need to take a beat, a breath, and pause - for just a second.

Realising she hadn’t done that in a while, this site became a physical (well not literally) place for her to stop and take stock of what she’s done, what’s she’s doing and what she plans to do.

And if you realise you haven’t taken taken a second recently, this site is for you too. Pause, read an article, listen to a podcast episode and give yourself a second.
