Hello There …

Welcome to Mmedara Bookshop. In the next two or so paragraphs, I will introduce myself briefly.

Firstly

I am Mmedara Kingsley Akpan, Hon. Justice (Elder) Ita G. Mbaba and Late Dcns. Mercy Ita Mbaba (nee Mercy Sunday Ibanga)’s first daughter. My Mum was a precious rare gem who taught us, the five Angels to be strong. Yes, that’s what our parent call us. My siblings are by name Esehobong, Akanifiok, Ukuobong and Akem. Interesting to note, we are all women and most importantly, all very creative, beautiful, smart and Godly in our different professions and passion. In other words, I’m super proud of us … #grin. And I’m married to a dynamic World Changer; Kingsley Elijah Akpan (Yup, I know I’m tooting my own horn … #wink).

What else?

Secondly, I design graphics and websites at my company, MDQuency Designs Limited. Amazed each time and love how few designs or words can say a lot about a company, person or brand. Hence, I get excited seeing it unfold in my mind and I am, you guess it, overwhelmed, when displayed on paper, wood, cloth or just about anything and the client goes; WOW. I manage and sell my Dad’s books here (I hope to add my own publications, someday) on Mmedara Bookshop; a subsidiary of MDQuency Designs Limited.

I have a community on Facebook, called, MDQuency’s Desk, where I share tidbits about myself, my thoughts, my designs, my journey in managing book sales, etc. In fact, you can join us and it’ll be enlightening/useful to YOU. I also work as Management Systems Coordinator at Dove International Schools. Managing systems, issues, situations and analyzing performance/growth gives me joy and I get lost in it for hours. Moreover, numbers and how technology makes doing analysis so easy is also some of the things I love. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I am as nerdy as you can get … #smile

Thirdly,

God, leadership and people – to mention a few, is what I’m extremely passionate about. Consequently, helping and seeing people reach their fullest potential – if there’s any English like that – because I like getting people to be their best self is of great importance to me. Fourth, I hate where people are oppressed or judged wrongly; I become mama bear at such instances – whether I know the oppressed or not is inconsequential. Fifth, I love singing, reading, cooking (or should I say creating) new delicacies and watching good movies (I bury myself in books/watching good movies for days rather than party).

Sixth, I believe we grow everyday, there’s always something to learn somewhere, from anyone. As such, I don’t limit myself to what I know, I pick minds, share ideas, listen to people and things around me. I can learn from something as simple as watching a movie. One of my motto is, in order to grow in life, be ready, at all times, to learn, unlearn and relearn. Above all, always be yourself and with the right set of people/company. Seven or is it lastly? A lot has been said already (and this site is not about me, remember?); so to know more, you can connect with me on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram.

Back to the business of the day …
