Writing has always been my outlet to express the thoughts, emotions, and passion that have stirred within me from a young age. Growing up in Agege and Otta, Nigeria, I was constantly troubled by the sight of young people wasting away on the streets—vibrant individuals with untapped potential, consumed by drinking, smoking, or idly chasing after girls. I couldn’t also ignore the sight of young girls losing their dreams and self-esteem due to early pregnancies, or the heartbreaking stories I would hear from older women at gatherings. Each encounter made me feel that something had to be done, and though I was just one person, I believed that my voice, no matter how small, could make an impact.

My personal journey has been one of discovery and growth, filled with challenges that have shaped my perspective on life. I have developed a strong desire to inspire spiritually sound, value-driven young individuals and to uplift women, helping them discover the fulfillment that comes from harnessing their God-given potential. This passion drives every word I write, and my hope is to ignite that same fire in those who read my books.
Through my writing, I seek to shed light on the power of our journeys—the good, the bad, and the in-between. We all have stories worth sharing, and these stories, no matter how difficult, can lead us toward growth, purpose, and solutions to the problems we face. It is my mission to help others realize that no matter where they have been, their future can still be bright and full of meaning.
This belief is the heartbeat behind every page I pen.

Hello! I'm Yetunde Awe(Nee Adeuja)
About Me
I obtained a BSc in Accounting from Covenant University and an MSc in Banking and Finance from Eastern Mediterranean University. I am currently undergoing my PhD in the Uk researching the interplay between gender, enterprise and sustainability.
I am happily married to Dr. Ayodeji Awe and a proud mother of two beautiful children Fife and Tife. Together with my husband, I co-authored the impactful book The Monster in Africa. I am also the author of the book Embracing your Journey: The Road to Finding Meaning in Life and Breaking the Chains of Comfortable Silence (Rediscovering Yourself Beyond Marriage).
As the founder of Payless Shopmore Nigeria, I combine my entrepreneurial spirit with my dedication to addressing youth and women’s development issues. My extensive experience includes working with various groups and committees dedicated to the welfare of young people and women.
My writing reflects my strong faith in God, the power of love, service, and positive change. I passionately encourage individuals to lead spiritually sound and value-driven lives filled with intentionality, compassion, and dedication to making meaningful contributions to society.
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
