Interviewed by Oyindamola Shoola  About the Judge Tomi Adesina loves playing with words, so she became a writer – makes perfect sense! She is a screenwriter, poet, teacher, and author of several stories, including Dear Future Husband, which you may have read on a blog called “Tommyslav’s Island.” In 2015, she won the Homevida in collaboration with Google Prize for her short script on cyberbullying, Feisty John. She was also the recipient of the Best Young Writer in the Nigerian Writers Award in 2015. In addition, Tomi was nominated in the Best Writer category of the Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Award (AMVCA) in 2018 and won the African Movie Academy Award (AMAA) for her contribution to the screenplay, Hakkunde. Tomi teaches Creative writing classes and regularly facilitates a Scriptwriting class, Characters, Stories, and Scripts with Tomi Adesina. Tomi loves Jesus and likes to tell everyone how He saved her life. You can find Tomi on Twitter @tomi_adesina and Instagram @tomiadesina. Interview QuestionsWe know who you are right now, obviously from your biography and what impact you have made so far. 10 years from now, how do you envision that will change? 10 years? Boy, that’s a long time! One thing that I know for sure is I’ll be fine and safe in God’s plan for my life. I do hope to continue teaching as that is a lifelong assignment. I would also love to keep writing, maybe not for the screen, I don’t know…but wherever I’ll be by then, I’ll be okay. At the beginning of their journeys, I met many writers who thought they could only write one genre or had the vision to publish only one book, which has changed for them. What is one truth you believed about yourself regarding your creative work that has now changed? I used to think poetry was so hard and complicated, so I stayed away from it. Then, I realized that it wasn’t so. Of course, there are rules to it like every other writing form, but the fear and myths around it just painted a scary image that wasn’t there. I have learned to fall in love with it again this year, and I am chuffed about the possibilities that lie ahead.  Ayomide ‘Wes Oriolowo is a Nigerian poet and essayist.
