โ€œItโ€™s difficult to classify myself solely as a writer of romance, when in fact writing about womenโ€™s lives, and the complexities that has gone into making her that woman, entails a great deal more than romance.โ€

Love Again

Runner up in the Saga Literary Prize

Swimming with Fishes

This is how @wilde_foundation and @hfwritersfest do it.

Yes, peeps, I was invited as the Co-founder of WILDE Hammersmith & Fulham Writersโ€™ Festival to the University of West Londonโ€™s CLBS Enterprise Expo.

I went along and met other innovative folks who run their own businesses, organisations & charities.

We were all interviewed by the business students, staffs, and judges (I was unaware that we were all being judged) who stopped by every stand for a banter about what we do.

I was totally shocked, surprised and eventually ecstatic to be awarded the overall winner of the business prize 
for @wilde_foundation @hfwritersfest ๐Ÿฅ‡ ๐Ÿ† 

Big thanks to @uniwestlondon for recognising our sweat, tears ๐Ÿ˜ญ and joy ๐Ÿฅฒ

Bring on the good times.
 
Iโ€™ve been doing this lately, having Friday evening vibes on a Tuesday evening and messing up my awareness of the week days ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

It was truly a wonderful evening spent with some of my writing tribe โœ๐Ÿพ โœ๐Ÿปโœ๐Ÿฝ great company, stimulating conversations, good vibes, laughter and the food wasnโ€™t bad.

We got the chance to dine with @yogitravelclub Dr Edak who has been in London (she lives in Nigeria) writing her book, โ€˜If Menopause Was A Man.โ€™

We canโ€™t wait to read it.

Big thank you to the awesome authors, @esuantsiwa and @olaawonubi for making Black History Month at the Macbeth Adult Education Centre so special.

The budding writers enjoyed you sharing your author journeys, answering their questions, signing copies of your books and taking time to mingle with them.

Special thanks to @kari_that_thought & @gentlejoan for reading your creative pieces, so proud of you both.

Thank you @alss_online for making this possible.

Let me take you to a place you want to go . . . 

Macbeth Adult Education Centre is the place to be surrounded by creative energies.

These budding writers all have their creative goals in sight.

Itโ€™s all about completing a novel, a short story, a memoir or autobiography - and a few are working on a screenplay and we even have bloggers & future podcasters.

Itโ€™s great hanging out with this tribe. Itโ€™s a good life.

I have to take my hat off to my Macbeth writing tribe.

They always step up to the page and produce amazing pieces of writing from the prompts I give them.

What kind of letter would you write to your mother from your unborn self?

@tinatalkstooloud wrote such a heart-wrenching, heart-stirring, heart-quaking, heartbreaking letter, I canโ€™t wait for her to share it on her her future podcast in waiting.

I am amazed by the creativity and the enthusiasm all my students tackle the weekly prompts with.

Life is beautiful with these creative stars ๐ŸŒŸ โœจ โญ๏ธ 

Keep it up, @moesullivan.ms @kari_that_thought @gentlejoan @mud.and.stars and all the writers who are not on IG.

The second Sunday in the month is always amazing because itโ€™s when we get together as women.

We get together to sip, Labrish & talk books. Itโ€™s @wilde_foundation WILDE Book Club where we not only share a review of a book, but also to write & shine, share stories & jokes.

Our guest author this month was the Nigerian author, Dr Edak Willie, @yogitravelclub - graced us with excerpts from her forthcoming book, If Menopause was a Man.

It was inspiring relaxing in the company of literary excellence, @moesullivan.ms @mbekewinternational

Thank you @merisaa_heqama_  for notifying me that my novel, Love Again was on display in Catford library for Black History Month (BHM)

I appreciate it. But such a shame that underrepresented authors are only paraded during BHM when in fact we write all year round.
