Meet Abimbola

"Every story plants a seed of imagination."

Hello! I am Rukayat Abimbola Ojurongbe-Alaka, a writer who believes deeply in the power of stories — stories that heal, stories that teach, and stories that spark wonder.
I currently live in the UK where I have been endorsed by the Arts Council England as a writer with “promising talent”. My journey into writing began with a desire to make sense of the world, to tell the truths we often hold quietly, and to offer joy where it’s needed most.
Through writing, speaking, school visits, and creative workshops, I hope to nurture minds of all ages and encourage them to embrace storytelling as a tool for growth.
