The collection has been described as "a debut publication that invites readers on a poetic journey paved with goofiness, love dealings and dilemma, child-rearing and childhood, supplication, existential musings, corporate chaos, mischiefs and misadventures, and outright naughtiness."[6] and also as "witty, it's irreverent, it's relatable, and most importantly, it is refreshing."[7]
Card game invention[]
In 2014, Yemi invented two card games. One was called The Game of Giants, designed "to teach history in a fun and interactive way"[8]
