Nigeria's Dr. Chinyere “ChiChi” Okpaleke's wedding, and she was simply amazing, and she looked the part and played the part. Now I want to have an African themed wedding...in Africa, maybe in Nigeria, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, or Ethiopia. This is soo beautiful and appealing to me.

INCORPORATING IGBO CULTURE INTO MY NOVEL

Bringing Igbo Traditions to Life Through Storytelling

Incorporating elements of one’s ethnicity into a story isn’t always easy. While working on incorporating Igbo culture into my novel, I’ve encountered both exciting discoveries and challenges. However, the process has taught me a lot, and I want to share my experience so you can do the same with your own culture.

Where to Start?

Before you begin, it's important to have a basic understanding of your culture’s history, language, myths, and traditions. But the real starting point for me came with one simple question:

What’s the setting?

A novel’s setting influences many aspects of storytelling, including cultural elements. In Igbo history, there are three major historical settings:

Pre-colonial

Colonial

Post-colonial

In my novel, Divine Priestess, I wanted to not only write about my culture but also learn from it. So, I chose to set my story in the pre-colonial era. This decision brought a major challenge: how do I accurately describe the setting?

Clothing & Cultural Representation

In my YouTube video, I mentioned an important feature of Igbo culture—clothing. Some notable traditional fabrics include:

Isi Agu (lion head fabric)

Akwete

Plain George

Since my story takes place in a pre-colonial setting, I also included older materials like raffia, hemp, and sisal clothing.

For warriors, I asked myself: What did they wear in battle?

Instead of iron armor, Igbo warriors relied on hides and skins, as well as clothing that allowed for speed and agility. Strength alone wasn’t the focus—strategy and movement were equally important.

What’s Next?

In my next video, I’ll be exploring:

Modes of communication and transportation

Traditional housing and cutlery

Igbo phrases and language—and how I incorporate them into my book

I’d love to hear about your own cultural background! Let me know where you're from and how you incorporate your heritage into your writing.

I hate being a woman; as the world goes on, all I want to do is rip my breast and ovaries from my flesh and live as a thing so I may finally be safe.

Ugh, the story I was working on isn't going so well... I don't mean Divine Priestess, but the Greek-inspired story. I messed up the storyline and will have to start all over again. Back to the drawing board!

But don't worry, I have some exciting news to share! I'm working on a brand-new horror story, and it's coming soon! I'll be sharing updates every Tuesday, so stay tuned for a spooky adventure that will leave you sleeping with the lights on!
