From Nigeria, to the USA, Turkey and to Berlin, Germany… Celebrate the unique journey of fearless traveler and writer Olufunke a. Moses, by revisiting the powerful words she crafted for Ten-Q Magazine (1Q).

For 1Q’s premiere issue she captured the artistic essence of Swiss + Haitian artist, Sasha Huber, who explores the histories and paths of people of the African Diaspora.

For issue seven Olufunke Moses and I discovered the stories of three Syrian refugees in Istanbul, Turkey. We walked with them through the city to learn, first hand, about their trials, tribulations, life and hope. At Pages Bookstore Cafe, Istanbul’s first Arabic bookshop, Olufunke and I sat down with Ahmad, Samer and Dr. Meerkhan and openly discussed war and life. The honest and beautiful words captured by Olufunke Moses are more relevant now than ever and continue to hit home hard. We all are responsible for this planet and making sure that humanity and love reign supreme.

Thank you Olufunke a. Moses, for your honest and beautiful words.


Beautiful Olufunke a. Moses as we remember her, always thinking, always planning the next story.

I have some words for you

I have stories and poems,
I devise copy and songs
you’ll find me here or at home

I have words for you.

I work on teams or alone,
my talent for phrasing is strong
I can write short or go long

I have words for you.

My personality is calm,
’cause my initials spell “om”
flustered, I do not become
just keep composed/ing till I’m done.

My name is olufunke moses
and
I have some words for you.
