From Notes to Novels: Stories I Never Meant To Share

Some stories were never meant to leave the notes app.

These seven are true events from the life of Chisom as she navigated the years between thirteen and twenty.

From the corridors of a federal government boarding school, to university hostels, to the moment she finally found the love she had been looking for all along.

You will recognise these stories. The dormitory politics. The friend who did you a kindness you didn't deserve. The boy who wouldn't take no for an answer. The birthday that broke you open. The day you realised your mother was right all along.

This is not a motivational book. It is not fiction. It is one woman's honest account of the years that shaped her — told with humour, vulnerability, and the kind of self-awareness that only comes from looking back.

Each story ends with a lesson. Not the preachy kind — the kind you earn.

For every Naija girl who survived her teenage years and is still making sense of them.
