A prolific writer, fashion enthusiast, speaker and creative...

Hi there!
Welcome to my corner of the internet.
My name is Cynthia Peter but you can call me Obiagu (O-be-ah-gu).
‍
I am a lot of things (I filled two pages of sticky notes writing what I'd call myself). But the things that makes me proud and brings a smile on my face is my family, friends, and people I have been blessed to cross paths with in my very short life.

I live in Amsterdam, Netherlands and work as a consultant technical writer. I started technical writing without knowing it. During my paramilitary service in Delta State, Nigeria. I had to teach kids computer studies. In seeking out ways to teach the kids, I remembered my mums pupils talking about how my mum would bring tubers of yams and items from our home to teach her pupils in primary school.

Then, I thought, maybe I could break it down and use terms and things around the kids to explain the technical concepts.  I spent time working out a new lesson and the reply from the next class made all the work worth it. I feel proud of this part of my journey because I was the teacher I needed as a pupil.

I’ve always believed that the best writing connects people, whether it is helping developers understand an API, explaining a technical concept, or simply sharing my thoughts on why friendships matter. But that’s not why we are here. If you need to know more about my professional career, please check my resume.

More than my career, I am privileged to be an  Ada (meaning “first daughter” in the Igbo language).  I’ve mastered the art of responsibility, communication, and balancing chaos (skills that come in handy in life and work!). I multitask a lot because I can’t do without a little bit of chaos.

Right here, I just want to share photos of my favourite things and write about my musings. The goal is to my space on the internet and express and expand as much as I can.
‍
I love spicy food, random days or hours of hyper focus, reading books, and learning something new. There are a lot of things that interests me - travel, books, food, fashion, writing, woodwork, painting, culinary arts, interior decor, photography, movies, and humans. I spend a lot of time on these topics and try to surround myself with overwhelming resources on these and I sometimes write my thoughts about them, too.

A page is not enough to share about me. But If you stick around long enough, you'll know me a little bit better and I'll be open to knowing you too.

Below are some of my favourite quotes. I say ‘some’ because my favourite quotes change every four eke market days. 
‍
"Think of many things, do one"....Portuguese proverb
‍
"Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why...... Eddie Cantor
‍
The world of reality has its limits but the world of imagination is boundless ....... Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
