Theresa Ikoko is a British playwright and screenwriter of Nigerian descent. Her play Girls, about three girls abducted by terrorists in northern Nigeria, won the Alfred Fagon Award and other awards. Ikoko later gained greater nationwide recognition, in 2019, for co-writing the feature-length coming-of-age drama Rocks with Clarie Wilson, which earned Ikoko a BAFTA Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the 74th British Academy Film Awards in 2021. Ikoko grew up with her mother and eight siblings in the Hackney neighbourhood of London. Ikoko has said that the label "poor" was put upon her and that communities that are poorer are misrepresented by the media as "problem areas" which ignores the potential of these areas and the fact that the negativity coming from these communities is a societal issue. She says that "poverty isn't all about suffering and darkness", and describes her upbringing as "rich in joy". More information...
