A career in children's book publishing was not initially planned for Vivian Uwakwe. Her father, an artist and storyteller, encouraged her creative side from a young age. Despite this, he advised against pursuing a career in art due to financial concerns. As a result, Vivian studied science and later earned a degree.
She has spoken about the need for books that reflect Nigerian children's identity.
Further information about Vivian Uwakwe's journey into publishing is available from the source.
