I like writing, have just turned forty this summer, look forward to nurturing my creative writing skills and developing my website. I have a BA Hons in African Women and Development (NELP, UK) and a Master?s with Distinction Communications Policy Studies (City University, UK). I presently work for Alliances for Africa a UK charity with offices in Lagos and programmatic interventions in human rights, peace and sustainable development. I am an over stretched wife, mother, sister, cousin and aunt and only able to write at the weekends. Presently, I have just been elected Vice Chair WRITA Lagos chapter (2005 ? 2007) and an ASHOKA Fellow.
