About Yejide Kilanko
Yejide Kilanko was born in Ibadan, a sprawling university city in south-western Nigeria. She read just about anything she could lay her hands on and that love for reading led her to poetry writing when she was twelve. It was the best way she made sense of the long, angst-filled teenage and young adult years that followed.
After a big, loud, African wedding, she joined her husband in Maryland, USA. For a decade she stayed home to raise their three children, moved to Canada and went back to school to become a social worker.
Yejide started writing her debut novel, Daughters Who Walk This Path, in 2009 and it was published in Canada (2012) and in the USA (2013). Prior to 2009, she didn't think she could write a novel, so she's living proof that life can bring new dreams when least expected.
Yejide currently lives in Chatham, Ontario.
Worldreader is a non-profit on a mission to bring digital books to every child and her family, so that they can improve their lives. Learn more: http://www.worldreader.org/
