Shining The Light on This Writer — Blessing Oluchukwu Awamba

My writing journey

Out with my best girls on a sunny day in Lagos, Nigeria. From Author’s collection.

Goodness, gracious! That was a mouthful. You could have written your title without including your middle name.

If this is you, uhmm… how else would you know I am Nigerian? We kinda love to write our full names.

Dear Wellness Xplora, thanks for the tag. I enjoyed reading about your experience.

Why did you start writing?

I do not know.

It is easy to speak about an epiphany I had that made me start writing. The truth is, there was none. I have realized that everyone is an innate writer. Our experiences are so different, yet so common that if the entire world population becomes writers, there will be an audience for all.

However, the people who read more are the ones most likely to share their experiences through writing.

I read on Medium for almost two years. Daily. I found stories that made me cry, laugh, think, write, and scream, “that happened to me too!”
