Speaking on the inspiration behind ‘Tainted Canvas’, Ogidan admits that it’s loosely based on her childhood memories of Lagos and the need to speak up about child abuse and postpartum depression. Both topics are spoken about in hush tones in Nigeria.

She shared: “I feel that a lot of abuse happened to a number of children not because their mothers didn’t care, but in fact, because they were going through something of their own and on this occasion postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis”.
