Interests
I have begun writing books that capture some traditional African proverbs and idiomatic expressions (used as tools to advise people who are hurt), along with their historical backgrounds and purpose. These works aim to unlock the inner strength of readers—helping them overcome anxiety, heal emotional pain, reduce inflammation, and combat depression in both Black communities and our white counterparts through the powerful words imbedded in them.
This inspiration was sparked by a powerful speech delivered by one of the founders of the Neuro-Arts Center at the SFN Conference held in 2024 at McCormick Place, Chicago, USA.
I am currently seeking partners or investors who are interested in supporting or collaborating on this impactful project.
