I learnt how to be bare, to write without shame. My take home words, “Writing is an act of faith. Show up to the page, with honesty and consistency. There is no seed you water that won’t grow.” – M.O.I love the fact that M.O. is vulnerable and the workshop was a safe space for female writers like me who have urgent stories to share with the world

Mofiyinfoluwa is a dynamic and engaging instructor. The way she talked about our works and also showed us the threads of connections between our work and things we wanted to try with our writing with other CNF essays was really helpful. Her prompts demanded that we look deep within ourselves and write from a place of truth, self-knowledge and the absence of shame.

The Abebi Afrononfiction Masterclass felt like a place where seeds were sown. I’ve only ever written fiction and I’ve always been extremely intimidated by nonfiction. But Mofiyinfoluwa curated a space that grounded and challenged us to reach into ourselves and find something worth exploring. I’m really grateful for all the amazing writers I got to connect with and looking forward to the fruit this class will bear.

I adored Mofiyinfoluwa’s way of teaching and carrying us along. I was late, but she took time to help me find my center, and offered me so much insight on this form of work. I love how she emphasized the importance of our stories, and how warm she made the space. I would absolutely do this again, and then again. It was a wonderful time. Thank you so much for having me!

We entered the space bare. Mofiyinfoluwa called us barefoot to share, to connect, and more importantly, to become a genre that demands openness. As I ponder on each prompt, each study material, I am reminded of the source of this candour; from where it comes, from where it should come – the spirit.

This was such a beautiful space. It helped me to see writing as more than just technical but as something that requires heart. The discussions around the recommended readings helped me learn a lot about vulnerability and form. Fiyin’s prompt on truths within the body, spirit and soul was healing and helped me to tap into the spiritual side of writing as she called it. All in all, I really enjoyed this masterclass and the community that came with it
