I am Swifty Godwin Minimah a girl that's cute inside out and caught up in her own world , a girl with a burning passion and desire to set lines straight by pouring out emotions and detail in line with characters to form interesting write up that wow the mind and awake deep thoughts , A little damsel though not a fairy but with a golden heart and a mind filled with mind blowing imagination that when put together could heal a soul.
I hail from the prestigious village of opobo nkoro in Rivers state Nigeria, i attend the prestigious University of calabar, calabar, cross river state under the department of library and information science, i am a graphic designer, content creator, a writer, and a teacher .
My dreams and aspirations in life is to be a renowned writer and content creator that reaches out to down casted souls through various poems, stories and write ups. I joined this platform because i see it as a stepping stone to fulfilling my dreams and aspirations.
Growing up as a child I loved watching movies, especially inspirational ones and reading mind blowing poems filled with various forms of speech, especially metaphors with unique characteristics that bring peace to my soul, so I thought to myself why not write too so people can share the same feeling. I wrote my first poem when I was about fifteen years old back then when I was in senior secondary school one , the poem was titled The Great Giant of Africa. It portrayed the economic and political unrest of Nigeria. It was read and loved by those around me so I decided to keep up the good work by writing more often and also wrote two movies , "tale of Abiodun " and "Agony of Tears" .
My National youth service days connected me to someone special who recognized my potential and connected me to this platform in other to enable birth my dream his name is nurudeen081, He took it upon himself to coach and guide me on the rule governing this platform and i have come to the realization that this platform suites my goal and dream of being a renowned writer so i believe its a lifetime opportunity i would be ever grateful for .
I am a freelancer who sees writing as the architecture of the heart and soul and with words when rightfully put together trigger the strings of deep thoughts and deep issues of the heart. Writing is also the medium through which knowledge is passed and awareness is impacted through words seasoned with emotions played out by events and characters therefore creating a mental picture of real life events that would in turn appease the soul .

My Hobbies are writing, acting, Singing and dancing the most noticeable of them all is writing especially when am down, lonely or at my happiest moments and each write up is a reflection of my thoughts and mood as at the time with no strings attached except in some exceptional cases were i need to create a bigger mental picture. I can't do without writing. I guess I was wired that way even though nature itself inspires me to write, real life events and my thoughts were wired to generate images and imagination that spur up writing from deep within without stress . I could just stir at the sun or the trees then boom! A million thoughts come flooding in and then before you know i am writing an epistle take for instance the poem i wrote "The moon embracing the soon" it came from string into the empty space and watching a movie so my writing can be inspired from anything and anywhere with the right atmosphere.
The right atmosphere that got you wondering right? the right atmosphere is with my pen and notepad and a conducive environment for writing with some snack like popcorn or peanut with a chilled soft drink and some times cool music to make the going smooth with the above aforementioned i could right till God say chill relax .
I look greatly forward to maximizing this platform and using this as a stepping stone to the top.
