I am currently seeking literary representation for my first non-fiction book. My writing has been featured in published works, and I am proud to be one of the 2023  HarperCollins Author Academy alumni , where I workshopped my memoir-in-progress titled

Out of Place. While I work on bringing it into the world, in my newsletter I share essays and reflections on themes including  belonging, black womanhood, faith, fertility, and healing. It’s where I take readers behind the scenes of my writing journey and explore the themes that shape my ongoing projects.

​

Below are books where my words and stories have appeared, which will give you a glimpse of the writing journey that is shaping my debut work.

A bump in the road book.jpg

A Bump in the Road by The Sunday Times bestselling author Elle Wright, is about her own journey through baby loss and trying again. I was honoured to contribute in Chapter 14 (pp 225-223) entitled "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a miscarriage".

My black motherhood book.jpg

My Black Motherhood by Sandra Igwe explores the intersection of motherhood, mental health, and systemic challenges faced by Black women. I shared my story about ectopic pregnancy and PTSD in Chapter 5, "Pray it Away" (Faith vs Mental Health).
