STILL

SYNOPSIS

STILL is an unflinching, deeply personal portrait of a young woman caught between survival and selfhood. Told through raw chapters, fragmented reflections, and emotionally honest prose, the book follows Ifechi Davida Nwaokafor, a fighter who never asked to be brave, as she stumbles through poverty, ambition, burnout, and the aching silence between dreams and reality.

Ifechi isn't the kind of heroine who overcomes. She endures.
She breaks. She rages. She doubts God, herself, and the system that keeps women like her one breath away from giving up.

From begging for writing gigs that barely cover food to battling shame, loneliness, and the slow violence of being unseen, this is not a story of triumph-it's a story of trying. Again and again.

In a world that romanticizes resilience, "STILL" is a refusal. A refusal to fake healing. A refusal to spiritualize suffering. A refusal to go quietly.

Perfect for readers of Michaela Coel's misfit, or anyone who's ever stared at the ceiling and thought, Is this it?

This is Ifechi's answer:

"I'm not better. But I'm still here. That has to mean something.
