Storyteller & Dreamer
Meet Hadiza Shuaibu
Welcome to my world of growth, empowerment, and the endless possibilities that live within each person’s journey to self-actualization.
For over six years, I’ve been dedicated to empowering youth and individuals through strategic counseling, mentorship, and development programs. As a civil servant with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and an expert in International Relations and Strategic Studies, I bridge the gap between potential and purpose, helping others discover their most confident selves.
From my roots in Makira, Lokoja, Kogi State, to my professional journey in human resource development, I believe in the power of resilience, the importance of finding joy amidst challenges, and the transformative nature of purposeful guidance. Every conversation over coffee, every mentoring session, every piece of content I create is an invitation to break through limitations and step into your greatness.

Beyond the Books
When I’m not weaving stories, you’ll find me tending to my garden, where I grow both flowers and vegetables. There’s something magical about nurturing life from seed to bloom that mirrors the writing process.
I live in a cozy cottage with my two cats, Luna and Pepper, who are excellent writing companions and harsh critics. I believe in the power of tea, long walks, and the perfect reading nook.
