Congratulations to the team!

This was one of my favorite pieces for @WKM_Up in 2025, not just because I got to interview all these exceptional people (an Emmy winner, youngest Nigerian to gross N100M at the box office, award-winning filmmakers etc) but because of their muses too:

Thank you. Madu is all of us!

“Madu unfolds as an immensely emotional and inspiring story that can be considerably contemplative and somewhat uncomfortable but is often heartwarming and moving and sometimes quite humorous.”

On Sunday, Anthony Madu's story, which began as a 44-second clip of an 11 year old boy dancing barefoot while it rained in 2020, lit up the big screen for the third time in Lagos.
We watched this inspiring story of the young Anthony who danced his way into the hearts of millions

[Buzor Onejeme @BuzorCr8V]

Big ups to @kachibenson and @mattogens, for the courage of following Anthony's! 🎥 And @disneyplus, for the leap of faith.

It's an honor to be part of the team at @jbms_stories that brought this story to life. What an incredible experience to share this film with the world! 🌎

Started watching “Madu” on Disney Plus, and I realized that we many people who have become “Walking Archives of Unachieved Ambitions.”

There’re 1000+ things to rightly blame, but no one looks inward and says, “I gave up!”

Give your future self a fighting chance; just do it!

[Ólú ndị Igbo @VoiceOfTheEast]

Anthony Madu was just a young boy dancing ballet in the rain when his video went viral in 2020.

Now, Disney has turned his story into a documentary.

This isn’t just about ballet.
It’s about purpose, passion, and what happens when talent meets the right moment.
