She also directed Mara Mania, a culturally charged documentary produced in partnership with the French Embassy and WeTalkSound, which explores the rise of “Mara,” a street-rooted youth sound emerging from Lagos. Whether collaborating with major brands or community-based organizations, Feranmi is recognized for her ability to connect with people on an emotional level and create stories that leave a lasting impact.
