Kelechi Okafor

I am Kelechi (Ke-leh-chee) Okafor and I'm a lover of words. I act, I direct and I write. I tweet and I dissect bits about society one podcast episode at a time.

When I am not doing all of the above, I teach pole dance and twerk at my studio Kelechnekoff Fitness in Peckham.

Society teaches us that we must fall into categories somehow. All I know is that I'm just a Baby Girl.

Thank you for visiting my page, and I hope you find what you are looking for on this page and in this life (profound, I know).

Rita Williams-Garcia

"I was born in Queens, N.Y, on April 13, 1957. My mother, Miss Essie, named me 'NoMo' immediately after my birth. Although I was her last child, I took my time making my appearance. I like to believe I was dreaming up a good story and wouldn’t budge until I was finished. Even now, my daughters call me 'Pokey Mom', because I slow poke around when they want to go-go-go.

"I learned to read early, and was aware of events going on as I grew up in the 60s. In the midst of real events, I daydreamed and wrote stories. Writing stories for young people is my passion and my mission. Teens will read. They hunger for stories that engage them and reflect their images and experiences."

Author of four award winning novels, Rita Williams-Garcia continues to
