Learning to See Our Truths as Black Women

Navigating Writing and Pharmacy: Ella Shine in Conversation with EeJay Eneckwa

Ella Shine interviews EeJay Eneckwa, a pharmacist and published author, about her journey from Nigeria to America at a young age, her passion for pharmacy, and her experiences writing. They discuss the challenges of being a black woman in both the writing and medical fields, the importance of intentional writing, and how storytelling can be cathartic. EeJay shares her love for sports, particularly tennis, and speaks candidly about balancing her professional life with her writing aspirations.

EeJay is Nashville born and Nigeria bred. She’s a clinical pharmacist during the day, and at other times, she watches sports like she gets paid to do so, plays tennis like she has a chance of going semi-pro, and reads for leisure like she has all the time in the world! She’s always loved to tell stories through prose, and The Way You Look At Me is her debut novel. Her dream is to pioneer the untapped subgenre that she’s dubbed pharmacy romance, and tell unique stories about how life, love and pharmacy intersect! @jayenek on Instagram EeJay’s Website @sportslovindoc on Twitter
