Ade Onibada is a girls girl. She’s frank, has got her wits about her and knows when it's time to advocate for herself. Until recently, the journalist, producer, and host, was an internet culture reporter at BuzzFeed UK. Prior to that, she worked as a news reporter at The Voice, Britain’s only Black national newspaper, where found her feet as a problem-solving journalist.
I think our conversation is a great indication of how bright Ade’s future is and why we need more journalists like her. We spoke about her time at BuzzFeed UK, artificial intelligence, the current state of journalism, writing pet peeves, navigating British newsrooms as a Black woman, what’s next for her, and why it's important to show up and prove yourself worthy. Ade is a breath of fresh air. I see why she calls herself ‘Queen Sunny Ade’ now.
