Abstract Details

2024, Master of Fine Arts, Miami University, English: Creative Writing.
Scary Movies and Love Stories takes you through the journey of a first-generation African woman obsessed with “House Hunters,” “WrestleMania,” and other forms of pop culture as she navigates the intersections of illness, race, and gender in America. In this hybrid memoir, the speaker uses critical theorists and dark humor to comment on everything from terrible interviews, to psych wards, to bad sex, to “Teletubbies.” This is a book that examines (and laughs in the corner about) the experience of being caught between two locations—the United States and Nigeria—never feeling enough for both.
