We had the good fortune of connecting with Ebere Oyekwe and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ebere, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I’ve always been social media savvy, but starting a business wasn’t the original plan. I naturally shared things that interested me, whether it was lifestyle, travel, or everyday insights. One day, a friend suggested I talk about my work in tech, so I created a simple video explaining what I did. To my surprise, it resonated with a lot of people who didn’t have access to that kind of knowledge, especially around data and AI.
That moment made me realize there was a gap in how these topics were being communicated. People were curious, but the information often felt too complex or inaccessible. So I began sharing more, breaking down concepts in a relatable, human way. Because I was already creating lifestyle and travel content, I approached tech the same way: visually engaging, authentic, and easy to understand.
At the time, this was quite unconventional compared to the more polished or corporate style often seen in the professional space. But that difference became my strength. It helped me build trust and community, eventually evolving into a business that bridges education, creativity, and tech.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My career has been a mix of intentional strategy and creative intuition. I’ve always been a naturally curious and creative person, and even though I studied computer science, largely because it was considered the “next big thing” and I had a knack for numbers my heart was always drawn to storytelling, design, and community. I didn’t plan to turn that into a business; I was just sharing what I found interesting online. But everything changed when I started talking about my work in tech. I quickly realized that so many people lacked access to knowledge around data and AI, and that’s where the real opportunity to make an impact began.
What sets my journey apart is that I didn’t follow the traditional path of a tech professional. I came in with a lifestyle and content creation background, so I approached the world of data and AI with a different lens, one rooted in creativity, simplicity, and storytelling. At a time when professional content in the tech space was polished and rigid, I was showing up as myself- breaking things down in a way people could relate to. That unconventional approach helped me grow a community, and eventually, a business.
Getting here wasn’t easy. I’ve failed a lot, but I’ve also learned to fail fast, adapt, and keep moving. I’ve learned that success is more about discipline than talent. It’s about consistency, listening, and being willing to pivot when something isn’t working. I’ve lost some good people along the way, and I’ve made mistakes, but I’ve also built something I believe in.
What I want the world to know is that you don’t need to have it all figured out to start. The path will unfold as you take action. I’m proud of the impact my work is making, especially in helping others see that tech doesn’t have to be intimidating. Through my brand, I aim to bridge the gap between creativity and technology, helping people feel seen, informed, and empowered.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Dallas has so many great spots to hang out, but when it comes to food, Saaya and Dragonfly are at the top of my list. It’s hard to pick a favorite, though there’s always something new and exciting popping up in the city

I would love to give a huge shoutout to my solid community- my friends, family, and my incredible team who continue to show up and support me every step of the way.
