Thirteen clips

Filmed on a phone in Owerri on 29 July 2025, outside a house on a bright day. No sound, five seconds each, on purpose: I wanted something that loads instantly anywhere in Nigeria and shows me alive.

Why they are silent

Sound is the heaviest part of a video and the least useful part of this one. What I wanted to keep was the face: the way I laugh, the way I stand. Anyone can play them on a bus in Owerri without data worries or headphones.

Use them

If you are writing about me, run a support group, or teach, you may use these clips and the photographs with a credit to Ifechi Japhet Nwaorisa. Please do not cut them into anything that mocks. Everything else, ask: [email protected].

Still pictures, too.

Portraits, my mother, and the artwork from the books.
