There are wounds the light will never understand.
So she learned to live in the dark; to embrace her shadows, and call them by name to cradle her grief until it began to sing.
“What the Dark Made of Me” is not just poetry.
It is resurrection in verses; the sound of a woman remembering herself after the silence.
These poems bleed loss and tenderness, fire and faith, grief and the strange, holy beauty of surviving.
Every line is a scar that learned how to speak, every stanza a fragment of a life rebuilt from ruin.
This is not about escape.
It’s about what happens when the darkness does not end, and you learn to call it home.

About the Author

Chisom Promise Onyekaba is a visionary Nigerian writer, storyteller, and entrepreneur whose words are as arresting as her drive. With a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Chisom has mastered the art of blending intellect with imagination, using her understanding of people, patterns, and purpose to breathe life into stories that stay with readers long after the last page.

Although this marks her first personal publication, Chisom is far from a newcomer to the literary world. For years, she has worked behind the scenes as a ghostwriter, crafting compelling stories, memoirs, and thought-provoking works for individuals and brands across diverse industries. Her ability to inhabit different voices and deliver unforgettable narratives has earned her quiet recognition as one of the most versatile storytellers of her generation.

Beyond writing, Chisom is a multi-passionate entrepreneur whose ventures span creative industries and consumer brands. Her business acumen reflects the same boldness found in her art; each endeavor built on vision, intention, and an unrelenting commitment to excellence.

Her storytelling is deeply emotive, unapologetically feminine, and powerfully African; a blend of strength and vulnerability that resonates with readers who crave authenticity. Every line she writes feels alive, charged with a voice that commands attention and invites reflection.

Hailing from Eluama in Isuikwuato Local Government Area of Abia State, Chisom represents a new generation of Nigerian women who are defining success on their own terms—women who dare to build, create, and inspire without waiting for permission. Her words echo with purpose, her vision burns bright, and her work continues to remind the world that stories are not just told; they are felt.
