The authors inspiration for the title of the book 'A Heart of Glass' came from her own experiences mixed with personal observations of delicate and emotional situations. She is known as a curious author who loves exploring different themes and motifs and it is evident her latest offering
Speaking exclusively to Pulse Nigeria, she elucidates on what the book means to her; “A Heart of Glass is all about vulnerability and transparency about topics you may not be open about. Both heart and glass are so powerful words. They carry so much meaning. A Heart of Glass is fragile, yet important to actually live.”
"She also shares her thoughts on Nigeria’s outlook on poetry and the existing community that greatly value it. There is a large community of people that read and can relate to readings from Rupi Kaur or Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Modern poetry has already become so recognised. There’s always room to incorporate poetry even more in different and creative ways. Poets capture how society feels and puts it into words. How can there be enough of that?"
