A writer’s home for people searching for meaning, identity, and healing.
About Me
Welcome. I’m Chukwunonso Nwanze, and I am a cultural architect. I design frameworks, stories, and rituals that help people and communities understand themselves, heal, and thrive.
My work sits at the fork of cultural memory, narrative identity, and global health, grounded in a simple but transformative belief:
Across my projects, I explore how reconnecting individuals and communities to memory — ancestral, ecological, narrative, ritual, and intergenerational — can strengthen cognitive resilience, emotional wellbeing, and identity coherence, especially for women and African diasporic communities disproportionately affected by structural inequities.
When I’m not writing or guiding leaders, you can find me experimenting with new self-care recipes, tending to my wellness rituals, or curled up with a good book and a cup of herbal tea — always returning to the practices that keep me grounded and whole.
Books & Resources
He Shall Return is a sweeping, multi-generational novel following Afamefuna — an Igbo boy torn from home during the transatlantic slave trade — and Alexander, his modern descendant searching for truth in Silicon Valley.
It is a love story, an identity story, and a reminder that the past is never past.
The Memory Keeper’s Blog
A monthly meditation on return, identity, wellness, and the quiet work of becoming whole.
