Allow Me to Introduce Myself

A Novel

By: Onyi Nwabineli

Narrated by: Nneka Okoye

Her life. Her rules. Finally.

Anuri Chinasa has had enough. And really, who can blame her? She was the unwilling star of her stepmother’s social media empire before “momfluencers” were even a thing. For years, Ophelia documented every birthday, every skinned knee, every milestone and meltdown for millions of strangers to fawn over and pick apart.

Now, at twenty-five, Anuri is desperate to put her way-too-public past behind her and start living on her own terms. But it’s not going so great. She can barely walk down the street without someone recognizing her, and the fraught relationship with her father has fallen apart. Then there’s her PhD application (still unfinished) and her drinking problem (still going strong). When every detail of her childhood was so intensely scrutinized, how can she tell what she really wants?

Still, Ophelia is never far away and has made it clear she won’t go down without a fight. With Noelle, Anuri’s five-year-old half sister now being forced down the same path, Anuri discovers she has a new mission in life…

To take back control of the family narrative.

Through biting wit and heartfelt introspection, this darkly humorous story dives deep into the deceptive allure of a picture-perfect existence, the overexposure of children in social media and the excitement of self-discovery.

Speechless and overwhelmed with immense happiness.

I’m in love with this authors writing!! All I can say is listen with intent. Drink every piece of heartfelt pain. And swallow a cup of forgiveness. Her words are forever poetically etched in my heart and soul!

I have never been held this rapt from start to finish by an audio book. The writing of this work of art is impeccable. The narration..absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see the visuals. I need more work from Onyi Nwabineli..BRILLIANT!
