Ifueko Ogbomo
Author Bio:
Ifueko Fex Ogbomo is a prize-winning poet, storyteller, voice artist, and sickle cell activist whose life’s motto is ‘to inspire with words.’ A Nigerian immigrant, the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services classified her as an 'Alien of Extraordinary Ability in the Arts' for her internationally-acclaimed work in the performing arts, and awarded her permanent US residency (2017).
A member of the American Christian Fiction Writer’s association, Ifueko is passionate about using spoken word artistry and storytelling to share the gospel, and to raise awareness on both autism and sickle cell anemia. Ifueko’s poem, My
Utmost Delight, is the opening chapter of Revell’s 2022 publication, Voices of Lament, a collection of essays, poems, liturgies, and prayers by 29 BIPOC Christian women contributors exploring issues of injustice, heartache, and deep suffering. Her fiction debut, A Divine Romance, is a biblical fiction novel set in ancient Egypt. (InspiroLogos Publishing, February 2023).
A classically-trained vocalist, Ifueko graduated summa cum laude, with a B.A. Honors (Music with a minor in Computer Science) from Texas Lutheran University. The last of three children born to a military father and a fashion designer mother, Ifueko has visited four of the seven continents and known many “homes," but she currently resides in Orlando, Florida. Proudly neurodivergent, and INFJ on the Myers-Briggs scale, she enjoys creative expression, African fashion, gluten-free dining, and exotic destinations. But nothing beats a quiet day at home, flying through the pages of a Christian romance while snacking on plantain chips! Visit her at ifuekoogbomo.com
