I write because I am burdened with stories that speak to people in a deeper scope than just themes and plots,I write because I hope to show an audience a view of the human nature from my perspective, I write to strike emotions of love,laughter, joy and sometimes pain and grief. I write because by so doing, I become a voice to the voiceless, sharing and unveiling the cultural and enriching folk of human race, especially that of the African people. I hope to tell stories that are original and authentic, portraying the true African story to the world in the right way.
