Authentic As F*ck is a podcast all about storytelling. I have conversations with entrepreneurs, and creators, hear their stories, and how these stories shaped the person.

So excited to share in Episode 99 of the AAF podcast: Eva Alordiah Decided To Pause Her Dream To Make Money. Don't miss this inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship and storytelling.

Elohor Eva Alordiah is an award-winning Rapper, Writer, Entrepreneur, and Co-founder of Africa’s first all-in-one course hosting platform Kobocourse.com

Eva is a multi-faceted creative artist who has indulged in every expression from writing to poetry, rap music, fashion designing, makeup artistry, public speaking, and now, digital marketing.

After falling into a deep depression in 2017, Eva took a needed break away from her first love of Rap music and spent her newfound solitude investing herself into the rabbit hole of digital marketing.

What started as a simple exploration of content creation will later lead Eva into the fast-paced world that is the online education business.

In 2020, just as the pandemic was shutting the world down, Eva teamed up with her brother, Keno Alordiah out of necessity, and together they built the Saas platform Kobocourse.com

Together the sibling co-founders are growing Kobocourse.com into the only platform African creators will need to earn money online by selling their knowledge to a global audience.

Eva now juggles her time between her music career as a Rapper, Writer, and Teacher, while building the next generation of African creators monetizing their knowledge online easily, thanks to Kobocourse.
