award-winning
Esther's Portfolio
In recognition of my dedication to African creativity and cultural advocacy, I was honored by the Nigerian Community in Edinburgh (NCIE) for my contributions to the arts in the United Kingdom.
This award, received three months ago, is a celebration of the rhythms, heritage, and passion that continue to shape my journey as a percussionist and cultural ambassador.
Today, I proudly embrace this milestone — a reminder of the impact of staying true to the art that connects us all.
Thank you, NCIE UK, for this profound honor. Here’s to continued growth, greater impact, and the unending celebration of our rich African heritage.
