Walé Akíngbadé
Author and Storyteller
Walé Akíngbadé is an author, storyteller, and creator of the Golden Threads of Inspiration series, a collection of books and music that explore courage, resilience, and the art of self-discovery. His narratives blend philosophy, folklore, and poetic prose, resonating with readers across cultures and generations.
With a storytelling style that feels both timeless and deeply personal, Walé’s works examine subjects such as courage, identity, emotional intelligence, and the art of embracing uncertainty. His second book, Night in a Wood Cabin, delves into the hero’s journey from fear to self-awareness and is accompanied by an evocative soundtrack that brings the story’s emotional landscape to life.
Walé’s storytelling draws from the cultural wisdom of West African folklore, everyday philosophy, and psychological insights from contemporary challenges, making his work both deeply rooted and universally relevant. His passion lies in nurturing meaningful conversations—whether through editorial writing, children’s literature, or soul-stirring soundscapes.
Alongside his creative work, Walé actively contributes thought-leadership articles on themes such as excelling through fear, cultivating emotional resilience, and rewriting inherited narratives. His writing speaks especially to reflective parents, creative professionals, and seekers on a journey toward intentional living.
