Chioma Onuoha

My name is Chioma Onuoha, author, TV personality and entrepreneur. All my life I have been driven with the ferocious need to tell the African story especially about the continent before the white men came.

I remember my grandmothers, they both lived over a hundred years old. I sat at their feet each chance I got and quizzed them about their lives growing up before the white men came. Though they were mildly curious at my interest but they were only too happy to oblige me. Learning about their time, their social life, the men they loved, their traditions, religion, beliefs and how strong they had to be in a world that subdued women made me want to tell their stories.

I began story telling as far back as I can remember, I would gather my numerous siblings together and tell them fairy tales of love and romance made up on the go. 

Over the years I have delved into screenplays and have written block buster movies and TV series some of which were nominated for awards both locally and internationally. I own a media and entertainment content production, sales and marketing company Amber Falls Production. I produce and host my premium TV talk show magazine Amber World. I also produce a lifestyle content AMBER VOGUE.

Even with these achievements, I still feel incomplete not just because I promised my grandmothers that their voices will be heard, their morals emulated and heroism known through the stories I would tell but because I yearned and still yearn deeply to go back to my first love and passion which is writing novels about exceptional heroes and the heroines who love them.
