My potential as a writer was first realized at primary school level. I wrote my first manuscript when I was doing standard 5 and i received a national award. I had written a composition on the ‘international year of the disabled. My teacher escorted me to the city by public bus to collect my award and returned back to the village. that was it. I never wrote again. Staying in the village was not an easy life. Like I have written in my book, for me to complete a home work like we used to call them, at times I had to use burning charcoal as my very source of light to be able to complete my homework.
Fast foward, Lately I discovered my manuscripts dated way back to 2009. I wrote so many manuscripts that i did not complete ,I had just kept them away. It is at this time after I rediscovered my writing abilities that I unearthed my manuscripts. Now I know excatly what to do with them . I was liberated last year, in 2024 when I attended my mentors book launch. She was not my mentor then until I attended her book launch. She is my daughter’s, pastor . So i went there to support my daughter. little did I know that it was my day of liberation. The speaker ,her husband during his speech inspired the audience and launched them to ‘go and write books”. I received my own catapult when he declared, ‘ go and release those books. remember you are not writing for everybody”. Your audience is waiting” From this point I got liberated from the snare of thinking that nobody would embrace my writing. My mentpr then took it upon herself to hand hold me until I released my first book, ” Your Story Can Change ” on September 7, 2024. She then introduced me to a publisher who then turned out to be my reliable mentor and Inspirer.
My life has now turned out to be about helping those who have been through hard times in their endeavors to write and publish their own books. I have now developed into a mentor and counselor. Alongside that i am also writting more books as my second book “Study to Win “is now ready for publication. This book came as a result of a devine inspiration as I was divinely directed to write it by the Holy Spirit. He clearly directed and said “since their life Story have been changed they needed to be guided to their next level, hence my second book.
