Udhedhe is a wife, and mother to a two year old boy. She splits her time between Abuja, Nigeria, and Yaoundé, Cameroon. She has spent over a decade managing construction and real estate development projects in the US and Africa. An avid reader since childhood, her love of books soon grew into a dream of becoming an author. She relaxes by spending time with family, watching K-dramas, and dreaming up new book ideas.
About Agbada Books
Agbada Books was founded by two sisters, Udhedhe and Ufuoma – who grew up as voracious readers and wanted to pass a love of books and an appreciation and sense of pride in African culture to their children. And through Agbada Books they are bringing African stories to children around the world.
Book Shop
