Why quote writing? My passion!
Little by little, that shy, angry and ugly girl as it were, evolved to a beautiful, bold, happy and purposeful lady.
Over the years, I have come to the realization that one major cause of failure in life is acceptance of stigmatization.

Diary of a Village Cocoa Girl
Never envy me because I simply don’t look like anything I have been through or my struggles. Oh did you know I sat next to a corpse (young boy) in a Kia to be buried? (story for another day).
This is What I Experienced at the Ashoka ChangeMakerXchange
Where do I begin from? Maybe I should begin from the part where Feyi Adanlawo told me “Mirabelle when you’re at Ashoka, live in the present.” Sometimes l live in my future but this time around I decided to truly take off and LIVE IN THE PRESENT. Far away from worries and far away from worrying about free WiFi (I actually worried about this). I loved it! I loved the Ashoka/Robert Bosch Stiftung ChangemakerXChange Dakar retreat. I just really loved it. I came on the first day not knowing what exactly to expect and I wondered what spending a few days with 24+ people would do in my life. I came into Dakar, Senegal late in the evening and arrived Saly at night very tired. In fact I thought I would need 2-days rest but the next day during our first session on connecting with each other, I forgot about…
The April Letter
I have desired so much in life, to be great, an actress, a broadcaster, a model, a lawyer, a humanitarian and I have been all in writing.
I still communicate with my hero every now and then. He has most of my beautiful written works.
Works written on the Sands of time.

19 Lessons From Being 19
There are many things that are learned in life. Sharing is what I like doing. These happen to be a few lessons I’ve learned in my life. 19 lessons in 19 years. My family is important and should be first: I had a roommate who called her mom every twenty seconds. Every time we went out on a very exciting journey before we jumped into our room she would be on the phone, talking all hour-long to her family. Telling them all about her day. Sometimes I found it trying, but beyond, it made me make a decision to put a higher value on my family. After all, that I came so far in life was because someone in my family supported me and encouraged me and gave me all the resources I ever needed and prayed for me. Everything you want is on the other side of fear. Just…
Maybe Life Is Not A Race
So by the time I am 30: I will become a renowned author with a best selling book, become a personal trainer, become a doctor, marry the man of my dreams by 26, build an empire to be reckoned with, and walk in my God-given purpose!” – Goals written for older self by my younger self. I never planned to be in the place I’m in at 27 and with 30 quickly approaching I ask myself what happened to all the dreams I had for myself? By now I should be writing this on some exotic beach, watching the sun go down with the cold drink of my choice. Of course by now, I would have graduated with my doctorate, married, and maybe the attempts for children would have started by now as well. Plans. We all have them. But who sets all of these guidelines of when and whom…
Happy Birthday to a Special Volunteer Worker (Mirabelle Morah) By Josephine Monger
Volunteerism, strength, smiles and God Fearing are the first set of things that comes to my mind if I hear Mirabelle Morah. This lady volunteers her time and put others ahead of her, yet she never expect recognition for all that she does. She is selfless and full of energy. Those organizations and individuals you volunteer for know how they are lucky to have you as a volunteer. Because of all that you do and all that you are, you deserve a special birthday blessing from afar. Enjoy yourself and have a wonderful birthday.

Please know that you are appreciated, valued, and loved every day. You are so special and lovely; have a very happy birthday and enjoy your moment in the sun. And…

When It Comes To Volunteering I’m Not Sure I Can Sit Still – Is This My Weakness?
You see, I think I have a weakness in my life. This weakness weakens me a lot. It’s not sex and it isn’t food. It’s not even parties (oh c’mon! Having one day of peaceful rest and sleep at home is party enough for me). This weakness is about volunteering to do something I know I can do. Like to teach people about something, or just hanging around a youth program or initiative. I always want to help out any way I can in these events and this got me into lots of trouble at the university. I didn’t finish my first degree. I studied Educational Management for half a year and dropped out. Oh yeah, I got admission into English & Literary Studies so I left that first course. I would’ve finished my one year, but I was busy serving as a publicity & publications leader at a youth…
