I Am Nigerian You Might Be Too

Sayo Okpaise uses narrative prose and poems to unpack societal issues in Nigeria, such as sexism (specifically the issue of women being encouraged to aspire to marriage as a life goal), ageism, elitism, and the negative impacts of making life decisions based solely on money. She details her personal challenges in finding herself and pursuing her passion, while coming to realize that the standards within her community do not have to dictate her life goals or her aspired level of success.
