After some careful thinking and research, I decided to change my pen, Okwu N'anya. There are two reasons for this: 1. I am just not feeling it anymore; it really doesn't resonate with me. And 2. Okwu N'anya means "Word Lover" in Igbo, which is a language and a culture that I do not know well, and it is not part of my roots. To use it so lazily and without thought is disrespectful and ignorant and I will not stand for it. Even though Igbo is one of the African languages I want to learn, it was still bad of me to use it. As of today, my pen name will no longer be Okwu N'anya. I am still deciding on a new pen name, though I do have some ideas, which I will be sharing on here soon. Thanks for reading and understanding!
Love,
NOT Okwu N'anya
