About Me

FEW WORDS ABOUT ME 🙂
Hello! I'm
LAOLU
First things first, thank you for joining Life On-a-Banjo! To get to know the person behind the screen better, here are 8 quick facts about Laolu Onabanjo.
  • My full name is Olaoluwa Onabanjo, but please just call me Laolu unless you’re the government.
  • I am a Nigerian-American (currently living in Austin, Texas), with a little bit of sass and glam from all the 18 countries I have visited.
  • The most expensive thing and cheapest thing I own is a piece of paper from Tufts University, that says that I studied Political Science for 4 years. The thing is: who will ever pay me to talk about the politics of Ancient Greece?
  • I work a full-time job in Corporate America (the 9-5/5-9 grind is real)
  • I talk a little too much about mental health, physical health, feminism, fashion, food, culture, and books.
  • I always pray for humility and a charitable spirit, because those are the things that keep me grounded.
  • My side-hustles are content creation, fashion styling, and unpaid food criticism.
  • If you need to find me, I’m either shopping for shoes or eating at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant or at a bookstore or at the airport.

That’s me, on the surface! As the blog posts roll out, we’ll get to know each other beneath the surface.

Thank you for joining the journey to live on a banjo!
