She Just Won’t Shut Up!
My Unlikely Journey from Having No Voice to Becoming a Voice · Helen Paul, Ph.D.
Born into hardship in Lagos, Helen grew up feeling she had no voice. In this candid, funny and deeply moving memoir, Nigeria’s beloved comedian, actor, musician and scholar tells how a little girl with an unusual “baby voice” became a voice heard by millions.
- the grandmother “like gold” who raised her on love when there was little else
- how a voice people mocked became “Tatafo,” the radio character that made her famous
- marriage, motherhood, faith, and learning forgiveness through pain
Coming November 2, 2026 in paperback and Kindle.
