Morenike Euba Oyenusi is a Nigerian American author, publisher, and lawyer with degrees from the University of London and Jesus College, Cambridge. Passionate about children's fiction, poetry, and being an inspiration to others, in 2020, Ms. Oyenusi founded Paradise Restored Publishing which has published her three award-winning books: Chasing Butterflies in the Sunlight, Isaiah and the Orchestra of Sounds, and The Shepherd’s Care. The imprint has also published Dr. Patricia Aladekoba’s Solace: Empowering Pastor’s Wives to Prevent and Overcome Burnout.
When Ms. Oyenusi isn’t juggling fictional or legal writing, you will probably find her immersed in a good piece of literary fiction, at the theater, watching a movie, jet-setting to new places, hanging out with her children and friends, or discovering new ways to tweak recipes —usually after very long walks that fuel creativity.
