Korra Obidi joins One54 Africa for a raw, unfiltered conversation about identity, culture, and carving your own path.

The Nigerian singer, dancer, and global performer opens up about growing up in Lagos, strict upbringing under a military household, and how that shaped her discipline and mindset. She reflects on starting out in Nollywood, the grind behind the industry, and what it really takes to build visibility in Nigeria.

Korra also shares her journey into dance and music — from learning across the world to turning social media into a global platform with millions of followers.
