This week we welcome Ene Ogaba from Nigeria! Ene is a storyteller, poet and author of the children’s book “Aku and Her Dreams”, which follows a curious young girl who travels between the real world and a magical Dream City, encouraging young readers to chase their dreams with courage. Ene’s writing has been recognised in Nigerian literary circles: her story “A Place Called Home” was selected for Writers Space Africa-Nigeria’s Rebirth anthology, and her poem “In Memory of Chris” was featured in a creative writing contest.
Here are her 5 favourites:
- Stay with Me by Ayobami Adebayo
- What It Means When A Man Falls From The Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah
- Scarlet by Alexander Emmanuel Ochogwu
- October Blues by Obiageli Iloakasia
- This Child Will Be Great by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
