Wagwan y’all,

I’m Israel born in South Africa, Nigerian roots, raised in New York City, and now a proud LAMDA graduate here in London. It’s been quite a journey across continents, all for one reason: to become the best actor I can be.

The next step is a Graduate Visa so I can stay here and keep grinding - chasing roles at the Globe, the National, the RSC, and beyond. The cost is about £3,000, which is a tough hurdle after years of student life where working fully wasn’t possible.

If you can donate, incredible. If you can share this, you’re already part of the story. And if you can’t do either, I still appreciate you.

Think of it not as a donation but as an investment and I promise, I’ll be the best return on investment you’ll ever see.

Much love,

Israel Oyedapo
