We Have Bleach

This site is my little corner of the internet—a place to document the things I love, the lessons I’m learning, the mistakes I’m making, and the stories I’m telling. If you’ve made it here, you deserve more than a bland hello. So, here’s me.

I live in Lagos, Nigeria, where the energy is unmatched, but if I could teleport, I’d be in Jos, where I was born and raised, or Abuja, where life moves at a kinder pace, and the traffic won’t make you question your existence.

I believe stories are how we stay alive—both the living and the ones we’ve lost. Telling stories is my joy, and over the years, I’ve explored this through essays, documentaries, podcasts, TV shows, films, and even radio.

 

But if I had to pick a favorite? I’d pick video.. I’m inspired by storytellers like Cleo Abram and Johnny Harris, who make visuals feel intimate and expansive all at once.

 

I’m not much of a reader—podcasts are more my vibe. Audiobooks, too, because traditional reading sometimes feels like homework. My top five podcasts right now are This Is Uncomfortable, Acquired, Ear Hustle, Female Criminals, and Archetypes.

That said, every now and then, I surprise myself. You might catch me reading something like Will Smith’s autobiography while waiting for a flight or bingeing the entire Bridgerton collection because I love the show.

A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME

  • My favorite color is black. I’m almost always dressed head-to-toe in it, no matter the weather. It’s my happy color.

  • I love tea. Especially black tea, hot and strong.

  • I love Korean TV shows. Sprinkle in some Korean words like kamsahamnida or annyeong-haseyo, and you’ll have my full attention.

  • I’m an introvert. Big crowds are a hard pass. Give me my partner, my siblings, close friends, a good K-drama, and maybe Victoria Monet’s On My Mama for a solo mirror dance session, and I’m content.

Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into scriptwriting for movies and TV. It’s a new challenge, and I’m loving every messy, painful moment of it.

 

I have no patience for prejudice, whether it’s against women, minorities, or anyone society tries to sideline. Life’s too short for boring closed minds.

 

At my core, I’m someone who loves to make things happen. Whether it’s creating, collaborating, or just dreaming big, I’m always up for something new—especially if it involves storytelling.

 

If you want to chat about K-dramas, tea, or documentaries, or if you have a project you think I’d love, email me at salaudeenaishatu(at)gmail(dot)com. 

 

Let’s create something amazing. 😉
