I was born in Nigeria, in May, sometime in the 1960's. I am the 4th of eight children. I left the shores of Nigeria right after my graduation from secondary school. I was admitted into a Baptist College in Nashville, Tennessee, from where I got my B.A. degree, in English Literature. After graduation, I moved back to Nigeria to complete my National Youth Service Corp (Equivalence of the Peace Corps). I later got a job with the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) where I worked as an associate producer of children's educational programs. Three years into the job, I returned to the United States to further my education. Back in the United States, I was hired as a teacher in the NYC Public school system; where I have continued to work as a Reading specialist, since after receiving an MSC. Degree in Reading. « less
