Joy Yusuf

I am Joy Yusuf, with the pen name BLEEDIN' SCRIBE. A scribe that bleeds with purpose, scribbling standards and shaping minds, one word at a time.A storyteller with dusty notebooks, an old soul, and a heart deeply rooted in history, specially the kind that feels like home, that sounds like our mothers' lullabies and smells like earth after rain in the village square.I write to remember. To remember the kingdoms we rose from, the wisdom wrapped in our grandmothers' proverbs, and the quiet heroes history nearly forgot. Nigeria’s past isn’t just made of events—it’s stories, people, spirit. And through every word I write and every line I pen, I try to bring that spirit to life.Let’s journey through Nigeria’s story together.
