Where It All Began.
People often ask me, "Why Mission Erhi?"
The short answer is that Erhi is my middle name. The longer answer is that this space has never really been about me.
I started writing to process my own experiences. I never imagined those words would become encouragement for someone else. Over time, those conversations became a community, and Mission Erhi slowly became what it was always meant to be.
Erhi is short for Erhikpaerhi, an Urhobo name from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
It means a spirit that uplifts other spirits.
Looking back, that meaning feels less like a coincidence and more like a quiet reminder of what this space has always been called to do.
Because some names are given, others become a calling. For me, Erhi has always been more than a name.
