Stories allow us to peek into the lives of others, and they also allow us to see ourselves. - Peace Adzo Medie

It takes strength to walk away from someone you love.

The transition probably happened when I was working on my doctoral dissertation. Around that time, I started sending out short stories. Short stories were more manageable because, in some ways, submitting them was similar to submitting academic research articles. So I think it was easy for me to do. But I remember going online, because I didn't know much about publishing or people in publishing - I only knew one person who was a writer before I published my book. I went on Google and searched, ‘how do you publish a book?’ and the steps just seemed so overwhelming.

Marriage shouldn’t be a never-ending competition where you spend your life fighting to be seen and chosen.
