Featured Interview With Ukpeme Akpan Okon
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
My name is Ukpeme Akpan Okon. I am the creative author of The Values String, lawyer, leader, arbitrator, adjudicator, mediator, speaker, trainer, peace life coach, and Ambassador for Peace.
I was born and raised in Nigeria, and the fourth out of five children of my dear parents. I believe that the complexities of the world, and challenges encountered by individuals can be surmounted.
I am an awardee and desirous of leaving a legacy of peace, time consciousness, organizational excellence, team work and meritorious leadership. These are qualities I exhibited from ten years of age. I have held leadership positions since my teenage years, until now.
After successfully acting as a mediator in a protracted difficult situation, I was referred to as “Peace Maker.” This, and other related circumstances led to my determination to help people lead peaceful, transformational, fulfilled lives.
I am a Rotarian, and take pleasure in peacebuilding, good music, healthy lifestyle, culinary art, life coaching, nature, dancing, traveling and volunteering. I love birds but don’t have any pet. I am married with children, and live in the United States of America.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have been writing from my childhood days. I recall writing instructional notes as a child ( I still have the notes). I don’t remember the exact age but I was a brownie at the time. The Values String is my first book. I have written many articles and made presentations.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I enjoy reading motivational books, biographies, autobiographies, and humour themed books. I doff my hat for the great authors of the books I have read. I don’t have any favorite author.
My writing style is self-inspired. I advocate originality in writing.
