Her first story was about a woman who could fly. Writing it helped Nnedi Okorafor rediscover her sense of self after spinal surgery left her paralysed. At Sharjah International Book Fair 2026, she shares how storytelling became a way forward. MADE OF STORIES. πŸ“… 4–15 November 2026 πŸ“ Expo Centre Sharjah #SIBF26

The title caught my attention, and it turns out β€œOdinani” is the name of an African village or town in the story. Interesting read!

There's also LaGuardia by Nnedi Okorafor. While the Biafran War isn't central to the plot, it still plays an important role in the storytelling.

Going to write another side piece on Flora Nwapa, this time exploring how she helped address homelessness in Igboland after the Biafran War. Some stories deserve their own dedicated piece.
