Writing stories is something I’ve been doing since I was about 10 years old, though I began making up stories even longer than that. My passion for the craft came from the most obvious of places: my love of reading and the worlds it took me to.

Eventually, I realized I needed a platform to make my work more accessible and easy to find. Thus, this blog was born! You can navigate my poetry, book reviews, stories, and more using the tabs at the top of the page. I truly hope you find something you connect with in some way, however small. I would love to hear from you–the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Thank you so much for stopping by and may you find noursihment in life’s essentials: oyin ati omi.

The Yoruba word for 'water'. It's obvious why water is essential in life. It is probably the most basic of survival needs. In addition to the apparent reasons, water is essential because of all the different forms that it can take. Much like water, an ability to change and transform is necessary for survival. Blog posts that end with: -Omi- mean that the topic was not quite as pleasant in the sense of it being "sweet" but the thoughts still had to be expressed. Just like how water isn't considered particularly sweet but it's still needed in the system.
