I’m a British-Nigerian author passionate about telling authentic African stories that reflect who we are: complex, flawed, and beautifully human.
I write fiction that explores identity, relationships, and personal growth, often inspired by my experiences of living between cultures.
My debut novel, Nothing Comes Close, introduced readers to strong, relatable Nigerian characters navigating love and challenges across different cultural landscapes
My new book, The Lagos Flash Fiction Series, captures the lives of everyday Nigerians living, working, and navigating the craziness in the bustling city of Lagos.
I’ve also written lots of other flash fiction stories and short pieces that have been published in literary magazines, anthologies, and online platforms.
When I’m not writing, I mentor aspiring writers, teach creative writing, and promote diverse voices in publishing through my work as a Writing Coach and Publisher at Accomplish Press.
I began crafting stories in my early years, inspired by the books I read, vibrant stories and conversations I heard, and the lives and stories of people around me.
My journey as an author started with blogging, then writing short stories and flash fiction. I wrote (and abandoned!) a few novels before I eventually completed and published my full-length story, Nothing Comes Close. I am now working on the sequel and I am excited to share this new story with my readers soon. My work is crafted to entertain, challenge and connect with readers who seek both light-hearted and emotional depth in their reading. My goal is to offer stories that spark conversation, and help reader to see the familiar or mundane in a different light.
