An African Excellence and Partners Award Scholar Glad to announce that I have started my Masters in Creative Writing at the @UofGlasgow after being selected as 1 of the 15 Africans and Caribbeans to be awarded the aforementioned Scholarship which covers my entire tuition fees. – at Glasgow, Scotland

Moving from Nigeria to Scotland, I became self-conscious about my accent. Would people understand me? I learned I don't need to erase where I'm from to belong here. My voice is enough.✊🏾 Happy Saturday, Creatives!💚 #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

You don't need confidence to start, you build it by starting. My first performances were shaky and imperfect, but I kept showing up. If you're waiting to feel ready, don't. Just start. Happy Weekend, Creatives!💚 #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

You see the finished work, not the failed drafts, rejected applications, unanswered emails, and second and third attempts. Stop comparing your messy middle to someone else's ending. There's always a story underneath. #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

From a living room with plastic chairs to leading communities across states and countries.🥹🙏🏽 The lesson: Start with what you have, where you are. Keep Building!✊️

A writer doesn’t only write books. I write poems, stories, scripts, captions, concepts. Format changes, but the skill stays the same: telling stories that make people care. Words live anywhere.✊️ Happy Monday, Creatives💚

Some work begins with no audience. The unseen draft, quiet rehearsal, secret application. You keep building not for applause, but because something inside won't let you stop becoming. Keep creating, keep becoming.✊🏾 Happy Weekend!💚 #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

Moving to another country taught me that sometimes you must start again. New country, systems, people. Hardest is accepting a lower level. Starting again isn't failure, it's change after life shifts. And we must keep BUILDING✊️ #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

I thought confidence was loudest in room. Now it's speaking when needed, asking when unsure, shaking but doing it anyway, belonging without proving and letting my voice exist. Happy Wednesday, Creatives.💚 #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

For years my voice lived only on the page. Then I carried it into rooms. It shook, then settled. Now it lives in both places.💚 #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

Happy New Week, Creatives💚✊🏾 Let's keep creating, let's keep growing. #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

Poetry is how I remember what I felt before I had the language for it. Happy Weekend, Creatives💚✊🏾 #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

Well deserved, congratulations!💃💃💃

When I get rejected, I now ask for feedback. Not magazine replies, but when they do, I listen. Rejection isn't always "you're not good." Sometimes it's "not right for now." We must keep building!✊🏾 #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

You're waiting to become more confident, more experienced, more prepared before you start. But what if it works the other way around? What if you start, and THAT is how you become?😁 #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

Know a creative hiding their voice for approval? Send this to remind them to breathe. #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

Happy new week, creatives!💚 Wishing you a focused and productive one.✊🏾 #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

Glad to share that my poem has been accepted by South East Review, @SoutheastReview I've long admired the work published by this esteemed Florida-based journal, so I'm absolutely delighted to now have a poem of mine forthcoming with them. #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo

"What if home isn't a place? What if people become homes?" Before Greta returned to Germany few months ago, we sat together and read this poem we wrote about friendship, migration, and finding warmth in unfamiliar places. #arts #poetry #creatives #chisomokoronkwo
