Press Kit
I am a Nigerian-born queer writer whose work explores the intersections of identity, culture, belonging, and emotional transformation. Growing up between different worlds shaped the way I tell stories — with an eye for emotional truth, introspection, and the quiet moments that reveal who we really are.
My debut novel, The Ticket to Freedom, follows David, a young man navigating the complexities of culture, silence, sexuality, and the search for home. What began as a quiet idea became a deeply personal narrative about becoming who you truly are — even when the world demands something else.
I’m drawn to stories with heart, tension, and truth — stories that hold both pain and resilience, stories that reflect real lives, and stories that remind us that belonging isn’t something we stumble into; it’s something we build.
Through my writing, I aim to create a space where:
• Queer voices feel seen
• Immigrant stories are honored
• Healing is possible
• Love and freedom coexist
When I’m not buried in a manuscript, I’m building the world of the sequel to The Ticket to Freedom, connecting with readers, and exploring the emotional threads that tie my stories together.
Welcome to my world.
