About Me

I’m a Nigerian fiction writer and creative director who grew up in Beijing, China. I’m currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing (Fiction) at Columbia University in the City of New York. My work explores themes of love, longing, loss, family, and the fragile bonds that hold us together.

I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of International Business and Economics, Beijing. At the moment, I’m at work on my debut novel. From time to time, I also write shorter stories, letters, and reflections on the questions and moments that trouble my mind and spirit.
