A multi-linguist and child of many cultures, Funk� Michaels carries the torch of her rich heritage with pride, and writes in a style that shows the poetic story-telling tradition of her native West Africa. Her writing first received attention in the early 90s during the years of the Post Express Literary Series (PELS) where her poetry and short prose pieces were variously featured. Funk� also writes for professional journals, marketing academies, and has a children's book presently being used in the Nigerian school curriculum.As a marketing executive and international communications consultant; lecturer, motivational speaker and a proud mother, Funk�'s work compels her to live in… different countries across the world, but she makes her `home' in the electric city of Lagos, Nigeria to which she annually returns.www.funkemichaels.com
