- Pequena biografia
- I was born October 1975 in Ibadan, a sprawling university city in south-western Nigeria. One of my fondest childhood memories was staring at the projector screen as my father showed slides from his travels across Australia and New Zealand. How I wanted to travel the world.
My love for reading just about anything I could lay my hands on, led to poetry writing when I was twelve. It was the best way I made sense of all those long, angst-filled teenage and young adult years that followed.
In the year 2000, after our big, loud, African wedding, I joined my husband in Laurel, Maryland. Over that decade, I stayed home to raise our three children, moved to Ontario, Canada and went back to university to become a Social Worker.
Since 2009, I've been very fortunate to work as a child protection worker, a crisis counsellor and currently as a therapist in children's mental health. Spending my day with children brings me joy. They truly have a lot to teach.
I currently live in scenic Chatham, Ontario with my family and I'm working hard on my next novel.
