Meet Favour Nkenang
1 April 2026 · 2 min read
Not everyone who sits on The Legacy Bench arrives with a finished business plan. Some come at the very start of the journey, still working out what they want to build. Favour Nkenang was refreshingly honest about being one of them.
He introduced himself simply as a creative who enjoys making things and meeting other creatives.
From tech and data to art, music and animation
Favour has a background in tech and data, but these days his energy is going into the creative side of life: art, music and animation, and finding new ways to do amazing things with technology. He told us he finds platforms like Legacy Bench inspiring precisely because they put him in a room with other creative people and their stories.
He is not worried about AI taking over. In his view it won't take all the jobs; it is the people who learn how to use it who will benefit most.
Writing his first book, one page at a time
Favour's biggest project right now is his first book. It is built around creativity, art and technology, and he wants it to motivate people and share practical life hacks, his ideas and his stories. He already has an Instagram page dedicated to it, and he writes a little every day, sometimes a whole page at a time.
His bigger dream is to take his work around the world, sharing and selling his books, and exploring everything creative within his reach, from cartoons to writing. As he put it, there is something special about imagining something and then seeing it brought to life.
"Don't quit, just keep going"
Favour has tried building things before. He once attempted a clothing line, but manufacturing and delivery proved too difficult and he had to step back. That experience shaped the advice he gave the other guests on the day: as long as you don't quit, you keep the possibility of reaching your goal. Consistency, he said, is everything.
Asked what he is chasing over the next twelve months, his answer was simple: success and growth, by achieving the goals he has already set himself.
