Welcome

Bawo ni?

I’m Anjola, a storyteller, medical student, and lover of old tales retold. By day, I’m deep in revisionist medical history. By night, I write Nigerian historical romance - where palace politics meet slow-burn love and Yoruba proverbs set the tone.

This site is where I share my stories, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and the cultural threads that shape my work. From ancient myths to messy royal weddings, I’m here to rewrite what fairytales can look like - one gele at a time.
