What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to grow as a writer and educator, fostering creativity and collaboration.

I am a dedicated writer with a strong background in creative writing and literature. My journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology from the University of Ibadan, but my true passion lies in storytelling. I have participated in numerous workshops, including those led by renowned authors such as Prof. Chigozie Obioma and Ukamaka Olisakwe, which have significantly shaped my writing style and approach.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my contributions to literature, being shortlisted and longlisted for various prestigious awards, including the Kendeka Prize for African Literature and the Caine Prize in African Literature. My work has been published in several literary magazines, showcasing my versatility in writing personal essays, short stories, and poetry. I am committed to exploring the depths of human experience through my writing, aiming to resonate with readers on a profound level.
