Her book, Dear Naija Girl, highlights women’s experiences and what it means to be female in Nigeria. Asides from sharing the true life stories of several women, it

The book is a blend of stories, experiences, and a compelling personal record of a young woman’s experiences of abuse (both physical and mental) and marginalization in Nigeria’s patriarchal system, and the struggle to overcome a pervasive mindset in both men and women that strongly resists change.
