I was born in Lagos, and currently reside in New York City. I read International Studies at The City University of New York (CUNY), and was a World Affairs Fellow of the Ralph Bunche Institute on the United Nations. I have been published in, among others, Ictus Review, QBR the Black Book Review and the African. I am Co-Founder and Co-Managing Editor of and contributor to Drumtide Magazine.

My first book, In Celebration of All that Burdens Us, a collection of poems, essays and stories, available here, was published in 2006 by a small press in New York City. On the Stage of History is my debut novel, eighteen straight years in the making.

My literary motivation stem from and is nurtured by my belief Literature yearns to sing to us anew about Existence via novel voices in world literature, fiction in particular.
