Data Akpan has always had an affinity for writing. She says, ‘If you really want to know what’s on my mind, let me write it.’ Writing is her most expressive form of communication. So, after years of corporate work, teaching in schools, and running a travel facilitation business, she decided to move on from all of that and become a writer.

She is passionate about individual transformation because she believes that a person is more useful to themselves and others if they continue to grow into their best self. One way she hopes to spread her message is through writing.

She loves to sing in the choir, but her favourite thing of all is creating memories in new destinations with her husband and daughter. They spend their days between Nigeria, their home of origin, and their residence in Madrid, Spain.
