Full-time badass Paula Akpan is a queer trailblazer. She has done it all – from kicking ass as social media editor at gal-dem magazine to cofounding her own festival.
Black Girl Festival was the result of a collaboration with her friend and stellar creator Nicole Krystal Crentsil, and is a day-long celebration of Black girl magic. Going onto its third year in 2019, it’s the first festival of its kind and it doesn’t look like tickets are going to stop selling out any time soon.
