She is also a writer who realized that there were a lot of African writers on Instagram alone, who needed a voice, a shot at the big picture. What Miss faith has created is no ordinary thing, for in this growing world of endless change, the times of the writers are coming and with her beautiful innovative idea, we writers will definitely be heard in the world of noise.
