Chukwuebuka Ibeh's journey from Port Harcourt to Lagos for a life-changing workshop with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ignited his passion for writing, leading to his debut novel.
Ibeh reflects on how discovering Purple Hibiscus inspired him deeply, prompting a relentless pursuit of storytelling that eventually culminated in his own published work.
The Igbo storytelling tradition has greatly influenced Ibeh, who cherishes the tales shared by his grandparents and seeks to recreate that magic in his writings.
Despite Nigeria’s rich literary heritage, Ibeh emphasizes limited opportunities, which makes workshops with established authors like Adichie vital for aspiring writers.
