Welcome

Dear reader,

Thank you for being here and taking the time to read my thoughts on this blog.

A few things to know about me:

  • I love writing poetry & fiction 🙂
  • I enjoy thoroughly a good novel
  • I write from my POV and my experience and we might not share the same view but it doesn’t mean we can’t talk about and share opinions
  • I like hearing people’s perspective on life in general but more specifically on the experience of african women, and black women at large.
  • I published my debut novel “Ahadi” in August 2021, which you can find on Amazon here.
  • I am currently have a blog series that dives into the book, which you can read here.
