I was afraid people would judge me by my writing. I was afraid that people would perceive what I really am through writing … I was not ready to face their judgment and their opinion, “she told Anoumabo.ci.

In December 2017, she finally published her novel, the third she wrote, “Virtual Escape”, in which she celebrates African women.
