Ms Aike recalls that her first introduction to social media was in 2013, though her online writing journey and advocacy did not truly begin until 2014. She initially shared her perspectives on a range of issues via Snapchat, where her advocacy spanned from 2014 to 2018. In 2015, Ms Aike expanded her digital footprint by creating a WordPress blog—which she maintained until 2020—and making her first brief foray into X (formerly Twitter) before deleting the account. That same year, she expanded her reach to Instagram, maintaining her original 2014 account before permanently deleting it to launch a new one in April 2016. She returned to X in 2019, using the platform to draft thoughts to screenshot and post to Instagram; she has since chosen to remain inactive on X, keeping the account private. Ms Aike also briefly branched out to YouTube in 2018, though that channel has since been deleted.
Her literary submissions began in 2019, when she started sending non-fiction and fiction to various magazines. Her published credits include Afritondo (2019), The Eyes of African Women (2019), Literally Stories (2023), Ariel Chart (2023), Down in the Dirt Magazine (2023 & 2024), Fiction on the Web (2024), and Book of Matches (2025).
Transitioning to a professional writer’s website in 2020, Ms Aike bid farewell to WordPress. In June of that year, she was featured on Dr Bola Adebayo’s podcast, A Deep Look Into The Issue of Rape, contributing to the conversation surrounding sexual abuse, mental health and emotional intelligence. To mark a clean slate and advance her professional career, she introduced her current Instagram account in May 2023. A few months later, in September 2023, her short story, ‘Multiple Faces of Keke’, was selected for publication in Down in the Dirt Magazine, and was officially released in February 2024 within volume 216, titled Where Icarus Went.
In January 2025, she appeared on Power Ace Radio and Heart to Heart with Abagaba, exploring her journey to self-actualisation, child abuse, cultural ills and the backlash of hosting uncomfortable conversations. Her debut book, This Thing in My Head, was published in February 2025, followed by a website upgrade between May and August. In February 2026, This Thing in My Head was nominated for The African Laureate Award, going on to win the award for best non-fiction and literary excellence in March 2026.
Reflecting on her 12-year journey of online advocacy and literature since 2014, Ms Aike notes that her most successful interactions occurred on Snapchat and Instagram. Audiences there proved more open to digesting differing perspectives and engaging in constructive discourse. Conversely, her experience with X was vastly different; she noted that users frequently made flagrant remarks purely for reaction rather than meaningful dialogue. While her first blog post from 2015 was deleted, the rest of her blog archives and published works remain accessible, though some older materials have been intentionally archived to reflect her personal growth and refinement.
