Chisom Chieke is an Igbo-American multimedia artist and second-generation storyteller who makes chaos look intentional. Her work digs into radical love, identity, and personal growth in Black diasporic communities. She writes, directs, and produces stories about “late bloomers,” women juggling cultural expectations, generational pressure, and the occasional existential meltdown.

For Chisom, storytelling is a form of healing and magic, making space for joy, reflection, and truth. She draws inspiration from her own messy experiences, collective narratives, quiet moments in nature, and the electric energy of collaborating with other passionate creatives.

Her work has earned recognition from numerous film festivals, including honors at the Academy Award–qualifying BlackStar Film Festival, and has been further developed through competitive programs such as Stowe Story Labs, HBO’s Amy Aniobi’s Tribe Writers Program, and The Fellowship, a creative accelerator for BIPOC fantasy novella writers. She is a 2025 BlackStar Filmmakers Lab Fellow.

She is the founder of STUDIO ÀNYÍ, a creative collective.
