About Ifueko
Ifueko Fex Ogbomo is a celebrated wordsmith, prize-winning poet, award-winning author, and voice-artist with 10+ years of experience writing spell-binding stories and creating compelling content for individuals, corporations, and brands in diverse fields across multiple continents.
Alias “Lady InspiroLogos,” she is best known for her spectacular custom spoken word and poetic storytelling performances, which have graced both local and global stages, on client-specified themes including social justice, diversity and inclusion, faith, and love. For her internationally-acclaimed work in the creative and performing arts, she received the prestigious classification of Alien of Extraordinary Ability in the Arts from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in 2017 and was awarded permanent US residency the same year.
The first female two-time winner of the Abuja Literary Society’s poetry slam championship, Ifueko's inspiring, original artistry led her to become a two-time guest artist at the World Economic Forum on Africa (2013, 2014), and a three-time guest poet at the Nigerian Economic Summit (2012, 2013, 2014). Giving voice to victims of both natural disasters and terrorism earned her presidential commendation from Nigeria’s former president Goodluck E. Jonathan (2012). She has entertained world leaders, but her favorite audiences remain those filled with bright-eyed, eager-minded innocents.
An award-winning author and member of the American Christian Fiction Writer's association, Ifueko is passionate about using storytelling to share the gospel. Ifueko's fiction debut, A Divine Romance, won two International Book Awards 2023. The historical romance novel was published in February 2023 by InspiroLogos Publishing, an indie publishing imprint Ifueko established in 2022, which focuses on publishing books that inspire faith, hope, and love.
Her first published poem, My Utmost Delight, is the opening chapter of Voices of Lament, a collection of essays, poems, liturgies, and prayers by 29 BIPOC Christian women contributors exploring issues of injustice, heartache, and deep suffering. (Published by Revell, 2022). As a neurodivergent female and a sickle cell survivor, Ifueko is also passionate about using her poetic storytelling to create awareness on both neurodiversity, and sickle cell anemia. Yellow Eyes Gone White!, her first book, is a faith-inspiring memoir that details her own tumultuous, but victorious battle with the genetic blood disorder. (Dorrance Publishing, 2012).
A classically-trained vocalist, Ifueko graduated summa cum laude, with a BA Honors in Music (and a minor in computer science) from Texas Lutheran University (2003). While in college, she won the Pacesetter Award for Academic Excellence, was inducted into the Alpha Chi National Honor Society, was a Senator in the Student Government association, and let her inner thespian out as one of a five-woman cast of the play, Waiting For Godot. Much to her delight, she was invited back to her alma mater as the inaugural speaker of the TLU Cullinane Social Entrepreneurship series (2016).
Although multilingual, Ifueko thinks, writes, and dreams in her first language: English. The last of three children born to a military father and a globetrotting, fashion-designer mother, Ifueko has visited four continents and known many “homes," but she currently resides in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area of Georgia. Proudly neurodivergent and INFJ on the Myers-Briggs scale, she enjoys creative expression, the arts, African fashion, gluten-free dining, and exotic destinations, but nothing beats a quiet day flying through the pages of a Christian romance (while snacking on plantain chips).
Whether through stories, sonnets, or songs, Ifueko’s lifelong mission is “to inspire, with words.” A lover of inspirational stories and storytelling, Ifueko is herself inspired by her love for the greatest storyteller of all time: Jesus Christ.
