Utonwa Bekee

Utonwa Bekee, also known as May Alakwe, is a Nigerian lawyer, financial analyst, and storyteller. Her work explores the layered experiences of African women, where law, culture, silence, and survival often intersect. She writes from the quiet corners of justice, drawing from personal memory and professional insight. Her voice speaks for those caught between tradition and systems that were never designed to see them. When she’s not analyzing markets or engaging legal frameworks, she documents the emotional truths behind power, womanhood, and dignity.
