Arts in Junior Cycle in Conversation with Felicia Olusanya
Felicia Olusanya, better known as FeliSpeaks was born in Nigeria and moved to Ireland when she was eight years old.
Known primarily as a poet, Felicia was commissioned by RTE this year to create a spoken word piece on the Covid pandemic. The resulting poem, Still really caught the mood of the country and Felicia has reached a wider audience as a result.
As well as writing poetry, Felicia has also written and performed her own play. Her latest work is a collaborative film piece They, exploring identity in modern Ireland.
In our conversation, Felicia tells us how she was inspired by her primary school teacher and why being ‘anxious with inspiration’ is key to her creative process.
