My name is Abimbola Adunni Adelakun. I consider myself a reader, thinker, writer, and a seeker. I am the author of Under the Brown Rusted Roofs and some other upcoming books. This page contains my column articles which I write for PUNCH, and some other articles I write when I need to give a voice to my inner demons. I love writing and I hope you enjoy reading me. The idea is for us to reason and un-reason together. I offer services such as speechwriting, website content development, editing, proofreading and consultancy services. My email is aa_adelakun@utexas.edu. Thanks.
