This week’s Woman of the Week is Korty EO, a Nigerian filmmaker, creative director, and digital storyteller who has carved out a unique space in Africa’s media landscape by telling honest, compelling, and deeply human stories.

Born Eniola Olanrewaju, Korty began her creative journey as a graphic designer before working as a video producer at Zikoko and later as Head of Content at emPawa Africa. Although she studied Computer Science at the University of Ibadan, her passion for storytelling led her to pursue filmmaking, where she has become one of Nigeria’s most influential digital creators.

Her breakthrough came with the launch of her YouTube series, Flow With Korty, where she sits down with some of Africa’s biggest names for intimate, documentary-style conversations. Rather than focusing on headlines or controversy, Korty creates a relaxed atmosphere that allows her guests to share personal experiences, challenges, and aspirations. The series has featured personalities including Tems, Asake, Olamide, Victor Osimhen, Ayra Starr, Don Jazzy, and Tony Elumelu, earning millions of views and a loyal audience across the continent.

Korty’s storytelling style is refreshingly different. Through thoughtful cinematography, calm conversations, and authentic narratives, she captures the emotions and realities behind public figures, making their stories relatable to everyday people. Her work has also expanded beyond YouTube, including directing documentary content for global brands and collaborating with international creative projects.

What sets Korty apart is her commitment to preserving contemporary African culture through film. Whether documenting the lives of creatives, entrepreneurs, musicians, or ordinary people, she continues to build a visual archive that reflects the dreams, struggles, and achievements of a new generation of Africans.

Korty EO’s journey proves that powerful storytelling is more than entertainment—it is a way of preserving culture, inspiring change, and connecting people through shared experiences. By remaining true to her creative vision, she has become one of the leading voices shaping the future of African digital media.
