What does it take to reclaim and retell African stories with depth, dignity, and imagination?

In this episode of Lead with Storytelling, we sit down with Nigerian documentary filmmaker Dr. Oghenefego Ofili, whose work brings Africa’s history, legends, and cultural identity to life on screen. From early sketches and stories as a 10-year-old to award-winning documentaries, Fego has made it her life’s mission to use storytelling as a tool for empowerment, education, and cultural preservation.

We explore the role of documentary film in shifting narratives, amplifying heritage, and helping the next generation understand where they come from—and who they can become.
