Hello

From an early age, I knew I wanted my work to leave a lasting impact on people’s lives. Not to be loud or widely known, but to contribute something meaningful wherever I found myself. Growing up in my small place in Africa shaped this conviction deeply. I saw how easily people’s lives could be misrepresented, flattened into statistics, or spoken about without context. This awareness formed my commitment to ethical documentation, narrative integrity, and responsible storytelling. I believe stories are not just accounts; they are records of lived reality that can restore agency to people whose experiences are often spoken over or erased.
 

This commitment has guided my work in youth mentorship, publishing, and editorial leadership. Since 2022, I have led Future Generation Enlightenment, a mentoring initiative that works directly with teenagers, equipping them with leadership, career, and life skills while engaging young people at critical and vulnerable stages of life. This work earned recognition from the Lagos State National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for community impact. Alongside this, I serve in editorial leadership at The Diadem Magazine, a faith-based and social impact publication focused on restoring credible information and hope through nuanced, human-centered reporting. I have written and published over 1,000 articles and short stories, and I facilitate a storytelling workshop that trains younger writers to approach human narratives with discernment, context, and ethical responsibility.
 

In 2025, I published my debut book, Wounds They Couldn’t See, a collection of short stories that examine hidden trauma, displacement, and the lived realities of African children and families, particularly those shaped by loss, instability, and survival. The book reflects my belief that storytelling must illuminate struggle without exploitation, and reveal truth without stripping people of dignity or voice. This philosophy grounds my work with The Refugee Archive.

As Africa Regional Coordinator, I support the ethical collection and preservation of oral histories from displaced single mothers and female-headed households, contribute to regional documentation and storytelling initiatives, and help strengthen partnerships that center lived experience as evidence. I approach this work as a writer, editor, and listener who understands that when stories are handled with integrity and context, they can challenge harmful narratives, inform policy, and uphold human dignity.
