Oluwakemi Esho

As a five-year-old, I struggled to read and write. My mum noticed my struggle and made me repeat Primary 1, and she taught me how to read and write. By the next year, I was a voracious reader, and a decade later, I discovered my passion for telling stories. My mum always told stories and that shaped my view of the world and how I understood things. I chose to take my passion beyond mere passion and obtained a master’s degree in creative writing in 2022 from the University of Glasgow. Prior to that, I was called to the Nigerian bar as a Barrister and Solicitor in 2021.

My mum gave me the gift of stories, and I want to give that to you too.
