In this episode of Conversations from the Diaspora, we sit down with Udochi Okeke, the brilliant co-founder of Mmuta Di Uto, a vibrant children’s YouTube channel transforming how Igbo language and culture are taught and preserved. What started with a puppet show and a dream has become a viral storytelling movement — and Udochi’s journey is as compelling as her creations.
We dive into her personal story — from being sent to boarding school in Nigeria at 13 to building a media company that educates and empowers kids worldwide. Udochi opens up about the legacy of her father’s cultural influence, the creative process behind Mmuta Di Uto, and why bilingual Igbo kids matter now more than ever.
If you’re raising kids in the diaspora, working in language preservation, or just passionate about cultural sustainability, this one’s for you.
