| Bio | I am a ground-zero empath who more often exists in a liminal space from which I engage and interact with peoples of diverse races, tradition and cultures. I am at my best when I work in a diverse and inclusive spaces. I am indigenous Igbo woman from the land popularly called Nigeria. I grew up in an intellectual environment with a father who was and is about to retire from his position as a professor of English from the University of Calabar Nigeria, and my mother Bridget who is a retired teacher. I am a writer and a speaker. Writing is a life-line for me and to breath easily, I write everyday. If others need water and food in other to live, I need pen and paper to thrive from one day to another. My dream in the coming months is to start a writing consultancy firm in Calgary Canada; a firm that pulls together writers from diverse backgrounds who will cater to clients from diverse backgrounds. I enjoy making and remaking and unmaking words until they do what I want them to do within a story. I am currently an MA student in Athabasca University. I am a mother to a three-year-old cheeky and audacious little girl, Amour. You are a story waiting to be written and I am a writer with words waiting to erupt, come sit with me and let's make a story. My website is coming soon. with Kindness Kenechuwku Onwudinjo |
