Seyi Oluyole

Seyi Oluyole, a choreographer and scriptwriter in Nigeria’s commercial city of Lagos, started the Dream Catchers dance group in late 2014 to help street kids and those from low-income families get an education. The idea was dreamed up 10 years earlier when Oluyole’s family moved to a slum in the Ebute-Metta neighbourhood of Lagos after her father lost his job as a banker. Recognising the need, Oluyole says she started requiring that children attend school in order to be in the church’s dance performance.
