✍ I’m grateful for a photographic memory – I could remember places, faces and experiences really well. The beautiful thing about this ‘superpower’ (more like, gift 🙂 is it helps me write my stories, beautifully.

My first book, They Told Us To Dream, was largely written from moments I had between the ages of 11 and about 21; from the story of my first poem to the story of the conferences we organized in Covenant University, Nigeria. All those experiences came from memory; I wrote them by remembering the details.

That’s pretty much the simplicity of writing. As writers, we honestly use experiences to create stories – whether fiction or non-fiction, the process of storytelling mainly takes us down memory lane.

I’ll say, ‘Walk your experiences with beauty, with joy, with ownership. Don’t throw them away. Convert them into beautiful stories.’

My New Book 📕

‘𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵’ is a compilation of 18 beautiful poems about healing, living and dreaming.

This poetry book was written from the pain of the Covid-19 pandemic, groaning from a waiting season, and hope for lasting love.

In the pages of this poetry book, you will find notes on love, hurt, joy, dreams, and more amazingly forgiveness.

Enjoy the healing words from each line. ♥️
