Onimajemu, meaning "Covenant keeping God" in Yoruba, reflects the naming traditions that inspire me. Drawing from Ewe and Ga cultures, I name my works based on the emotions and contexts of their creation, such as joy or contemplation. I use Yoruba names due to their connection with the Ga tribe and explore Igbo names for their shared depth.
