“The Women's podcast festival is so wonderful because it provides such an enriching platform for all women to share their stories and see themselves reflected in their awesome multitudes.”
Jumoke Abdullahi
Jumoke is the Co-Founder of The Triple Cripples podcast. She is a Nigerian-born British woman who wants to travel and eat her way around the world. Having contracted polio at a young age, Jumoke has learned to adapt to her surroundings and make the most out of every opportunity. The Yoruba half of Triple Cripples (AJ+, iNews), is fluent in two languages and currently working on her third. When not speaking struggle Spanish, she can be found delighting Kym and others with her rather unique idiosyncrasies. A writer & speaker (Guardian, Black Ballad, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge), Jumoke refers to herself as a lazy travel blogger, as she is a much better traveller than blogger.
While the world is nowhere near as accessible as it should be, and at times people are not accommodating, Jumoke makes her way around with a leg brace, crutches and a cutting remark here and there. At the festival Jumoke will be a Global Voices panellist.
