Call me NK, a 27 year old story teller. Writing has been one of my great loves for as long as I can remember. Coupled with my passion for music, the path has never been more clearer.

Let's take a little journey through my life, my lens. I am originally from Nigeria, an Igbo woman living in Birmingham UK. I grew up in Lagos and moved to London when I was 16, after graduating high school. I have always been a free spirit right from young, and naturally brought this energy wherever. The move didn't present much of a culture shock to me, but it was quite evident that my new surroundings led life differently. Africa feels free in its living while U.K is more controlled. I learnt there are times to conform but also when to be a lone lit candle in the dark. I moved out of London and into the West Midlands 3 years ago in literal search for greener pastures, as nature is home.  Something in me craves movement and adventure, experiencing life from different angles of the pond gives grounds for gaining new perspectives. This craving drives a thirst for truth, knowledge, explorations and creative exploits. I channel these energies through my arts;  literature, music, fashion and so much more. They all tie in together. When I have original thoughts, my pen and paper are always handy. These could be in words, a hummed tune or an abstract drawing depicting feelings/moods.

The right words, perfect sounds, special visuals = story time. And so I am a story teller. These stories are born of pure inspired imagination. And everyone has this great space, this capacity to create beautiful things, from this amazing, invisible thing called the mind.  

And though I am only just at the beginning, cracking my way into the music industry, I have experienced a taste of what it has to offer. And it tastes achingly, juicy sweet. And this isn't entirely about the music in particular. No, It’s about that wonderful feeling you get when you wake up early in the morning, eagerly anticipating the day ahead. The rushes of excitement, joy, purpose that come from genuinely enjoying what you do and loving every moment. Living your truth humbly, comfortably. It’s not to say life becomes a bed of roses, for remember roses too have thorns . There are still the usual ups and downs of living, but I find myself capable of meeting and rising up to all challenges thrown my way, as long as they are meant for me.  That is the beauty of exploring my own path. The deeper I delve into this world of love and purpose, I discover even more hidden talents and knowledge. This has actually led to the basis of my first big project; ‘Mirrored’.

Mirrored is a book of 33 chapters, each chapter regaling wise tales, experiences and experiments drawn from the mirrorverse. The Mirrorverse is a fantastically free domed world where intentions and wills are the foundations of creations. These chapters each impart knowledge on psychology (among other subjects), issue challenges and test on players to indulge their divinatory arts of imagination. And so it  will be adapted into an interactive card game, with spontaneous events of L.A.R.P.I.N.G. The NFT project is still in the works and due to be released later this year. The purpose of the game is truth; needed to grow ones body, mind and soul. The truth of ones real self, others, and of the collective whole. Because perhaps if we cared to understand ourselves better, we'd see and know we are all truly the same. After all, both opposites of a spectrum still amount to the same measure.  An earnest search for truth is often bitter and jarring, like an overworked digger, hammering into the barren well until the lost source of water is found.

At the end of the day, month, year, end, we are all collectively the human race. Not black, or white or anything else in between. Divided by borders of our own making. So say we broke down those borders and just be? Live our real truths, serve our unique purpose and stay the path. What if we looked beyond the physical for there is greater power in what we cannot see, touch or outwardly feel?  Searched deeply within? Welcome to the mirrorverse.
