Reliving Ugonna || The Poet and The Writer

 We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect – Anais Nin   He may not have written a New York Times bestseller but he wrote books in our heart. Books that will allow us to taste his life twice. Ugonna was a great storyteller and knew how to captivate readers with his stories. Here’s an excerpt from an autobiography Ugonna wrote in 2013. “Making the Loughborough list made me happy.
