In secondary school, my classmate, Faith Moyosore Agboola, was a phenomenal storyteller. She would hand-write pages and pages of thrilling stories that we would all pass around, and hope and pray she had written the next chapter by the following week.
Faith has consistently impressed me since those days, when her passion and talent for writing stood out even then. Her stories exhibited a depth and emotion comparable to seasoned authors like Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts – I have no idea what business we had reading these books at 12 and 13 years old, but we did.
Unsurprisingly, the talented young girl I knew has evolved into a remarkable woman. She is a Chevening Scholar, the 2024 British Council Culture and Creativity Award Winner, and she has continued to produce beautiful writing.
Now, many years later, Faith has released a captivating six-track poetry EP, Blue Hour Notes. Like my secondary self, I could not wait to listen to it and see how much her writing had grown with her.
