Her entire family were avid readers and her father was keen on the literary arts.Nneka’s first book – The Muse – an anthology of poems, prose and wise sayings - was published in 2004 and led to her successful 12 year career in the advertising industry.During her advertising life span she edited magazines and books on the side and continued to write several unpublished stories and works of poetry.In her later years she joined a team called –Read Africa (Closet Space) and contributed an informal essay about her life in Ethiopia during one of her father’s diplomatic postings.The female of the species is a book close to her heart that she has been working on, writing and rewriting for the past 14 years.ver menos
