Author: Ibinabo Enebi

I am Ibi Enebi and I can now safely say that my life is a beautiful journey of ups and downs. What had appeared to be fragments of unfulfilled dreams and missed opportunities were in fact the dots and ink necessary to create this worthy experience, I call my life! The beautiful life. The 'Ibinabo' life. Ibinabo is the long form of my name, shortened as Ibi. And it simply means: you came with goodness, you came with beauty or you came well. There is nothing really spectacular about me, for I am your everyday girl who has felt broken and beaten down by fear and sometimes doubt. Like you, I have sat curled behind my bathroom door and wept myself sore. However, amidst the tears, I also had a little fight in me and so, in spite of my puffy red eyes, my soul had a glint that held me together. An assurance and a hope, that in life, a disappointment is not the end of the road but a bend that extends your capacity to endure and to believe in faith. A faith that tells you that: ‘this too shall come to pass’. And guess what, it always does, thankfully. So, I’m Ibi, a wife, a mother of four, a sister, a friend and an aunt.
