Omowunmi was born and raised in Nigeria where she developed a voracious appetite for books. She has a deep belief in the power of reading to transcend our individual experiences which is why it is so to nurture the love of books in children.

She ia currently a Senior Director for Cybersecurity Compliance at a software company and lives in Mansfield, Texas with her husband, Toye, and two now almost grown kids, Temi and Tomiwa.
