INTRODUCTIONS

New name, same vision.

Overtures Of is home base to the expressions 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. So my desire with this endeavor is to gain and share insights and redemptive wisdom. I’ll do this work while embracing a necessary curiosity,  moving through topical circuits with holy conviction, humility, and grace, knowing what I share here is by no means a polished and exhaustingly comprehensive product.

I’m just bringing together what is fascinating, faithful, effective, and presenting it to you for further examination and/or implementation.

The vision remains the same as before: 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. 

You can see and hear some of my blog posts through other platforms like Youtube and anywhere you listen to your podcasts.

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 (or following all the updates on my phone).

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, plus other para-ministry teams that you’ll find out about through my work soon enough.

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