You want to know whats funny? Growing up, friends always made fun of me saying that I had to have had Asian blood in my veins just because of my eyes!They even named me “lee”. SO you can imagine how funny it was when I found out about my Surname :D

Anyways,thanks for stopping by! … Loved your piece by the way :)

Otaru is my Last name -meaning “King”, which stems from the Igbira empire here in Nigeria and is also the name of a City and Port in Japan meaning “River running through the Sandy Beaches” :)
