Isola SoGbede

I am an engineer. So are my father and my grandfather.

I work the way engineers do: find a problem, mine or someone else's, and build the thing that solves it. The problems I choose most are about our people: how we learn our languages, how we play, how we gather, and how what is ours carries on.

What that has built so far
