Biography and career

Udobang graduated with a first-class degree in journalism from the University for the Creative Arts. After graduation, she worked for the BBC World Service as a freelance features producer. She also worked as a researcher at Wise Buddah Productions, Above the Title Productions, and Somethin’ Else.

On return to Lagos, she worked at 92.3 Inspiration FM in Lagos, Nigeria, for six years as a radio presenter and producer.

As a performance poet, she has performed around Nigeria. Her first spoken-word album, released in 2013, was titled Dirty Laundry.[5][6]

In 2017, she released a second album, titled In Memory of Forgetting. The album has been described as "incredibly brave",[7] a "feminist dog whistle"[8] that revolves "almost entirely around the resilience women, their triumphs and struggles, their trauma and epiphanies.[4] Udobang describes it as "a collection of memories navigating experiences that range from places of brokenness and questioning to self renewal."[9]
