She was born in Lagos and currently resides in Abuja. She is the first of four children, born to wonderful, God fearing Parents.

EARLY LIFE
Spending her Childhood in Lagos formed a bed rock for Deborah's love of the pen. She wrote about everything that could be written, almost like it was sewn into her skin. She would bury her head in books and recreate tales

from her perspective, a budding creator. When she couldn't talk, she wrote, when she couldn’t eat, she wrote, when she couldn’t sleep, she wrote. From illegible sentences to solid poetry, to readable short stories, she seeks to use her pen as a megaphone.

ACHIEVEMENTS.
She has participated in several spoken word contests such as Intra-State Living Faith Spoken Word Contest and is the current custodian of the Third Place Award. She believes in Gender Equality and this has led her to volunteer in NGOs as a Girl - Child Advocate. Hence her works embody societal issues, mental health, family dynamics, equality, justice and Fairness.
CAREER

Up until now, her only readers were her family members and a few close friends. “Coming of age” would be her first published work. She hopes to use this platform as a medium to learn more about her craft from many others like her.

PERSONAL LIFE.
Deborah believes in Jesus the Christ. She loves Jesus. She continues to bless him for this gift of writing that He has given her and pledges to use it to bless his name. She also believes in the beauty of African Literature, how beings fused in this one bloodline tell these stories with their pens, The diversity and inclusion, it's flaws and it's hope for growth. She stands in solidarity with Africans who have chosen to use literature as the mirror that reflects all that they are.
She enjoys Writing and Photography. She also enjoys a good cup of soyamilk.
Deborah prefers to be called by her Igbo name, Febechukwu, which means to Worship God.
