For the first time in my entirely, my Dad spoke of my birth and the circumstances that came with it. Times before this moment, all I knew about coming to earth were the constructive butterfly words ministered to me by my Mother.  I never understood the intensity that came with my being and how much my life was feared for.

Growing up as an infant, my favourite place was my imagination where I was free from the stigma that was before my reality. As time passed, my self-awareness was awakened and I found my identity in pen to paper and took a bold step to bring to reality my potential.

Beginning this journey, was the most epic and challenging moment of my life and my paranoia accompanied by self-esteem only made it worse.

I worked in fear and walked in absolute darkness as my path was lonely and daring. Quiet it was down there as I attempted to bring my creative imagination to light. They criticized me for the path I chose and judged my reputation which was bold and controversial.

Not until last year, I was lost in an absolute dilemma. 2023 was the year that defined my personality. Through my craft, I reflected on a piece of what I'm made of. "Festac" was that body of work that marked a turning point for me. From the creation to marketing and feedback. Strangers turned to die-hard fans. Idols turned friends and enemies turned audience.

I was heard even amid mixed feelings.

The year began with fear, fear of what if Festac isn't appreciated.

And it ended with

"What if I had never put out Festac? "

Would I be dining with the opportunities that have before me?

2024 is here, a year of stupendous growth!

I will be raising the Bar with "Behind Bars"

A body of work that will solidify my reputation as the most unique and complete Screenwriter ever to grace the earth.

Now I realize why my birth came with so much chaotic baggage.

The forces were provoked that I made it to earth despite their attempt to prevent my coming. Dad's affliction was all a smoking gun.

Dad's son is a burning core that has brought balance between reality and the world of creativity!
