INTRODUCTIONS

New name, same vision.

Overtures Of is an expansion and expression of my explorations in areas of interest, impact, and connectivity.

Previously referring to this work under the banner of “In Love and Veritas,” I started feeling a “finality” of sorts when using the word “truth.” The truth is, I don’t know everything. And my desire is to gain insight and redemptive wisdom through embracing a necessary curiosity, with holy conviction, humility, and grace. To bring together what is fascinating, faithful, effective, and present it for implementation and further interrogation as needed.

The vision remains the same: to share in God’s love and live in His truth.

The practice is more clear: to be an introductory voice that explores and brings into focus the things that can help us do that. Like an Overture. Of ideas. Of people. Of conversations. Of practices. Of love. Of truth. 

Thank you for coming, and you are welcome here.

THE AUTHOR

I am a first-generation Nigerian-American, (greater) New Orleans native. A clinical pharmacist by trade and a Christian by creed and comportment, I live my days vicariously through the simple vision of life and love without limits. My work in writing and other creative endeavors feature unapologetic overtones of the cultural, spiritual, educational, and social experiences that have influenced my worldviews.

In my free time (and sometimes my dedicated time), you may find me in my kitchen, exploring every science and story behind the recipes in my ever-growing library of cookbooks. I’m also a huge Formula 1 fan, so maybe you’ll find me at a circuit for a race weekend!

My spiritual formation comes from many influences: growing up a devoted Catholic (including Confirmation), transitioning to a multi-ethnic evangelical church in high school, and immersing in a community of African Christians for most of my life. I currently lead a women’s small group for my church (akin to a Bible study of sorts), which has been my service for 10 years and counting.

Best question to ask me to break the ice: what have you been reading lately?
