I am an African, an educated professional with a background in education and writing.I am also a published author and a compulsive reader.

I grew up on Reader's Digest, Ebony magazine and Sesame Street.

I believe that life is a precious gift that should be spent in the service of humanity. I also believe in the rights of the child and I am an uncompromising advocate of gender equality and good government.

My dream is to see humanity living, for the most part, in accordance with the will of the Almighty. I would also love to see the African continent finally getting it right and developing its immense potential.

Big dreams, to be sure, but dreaming is just the first step on the journey to achievement.

Peace and love!
