After founding My Woven Words in 2016 as an undergraduate in 200 level, he created a team of like-minded writers and innovators known as “Woven Family”.

He believe that if we are saying “NO” to drug abuse and all other social vices, we should occupy our youths with creative writing competitions that awards impressive and tempting cash prizes!

With this in mind, he got the approval of Bowen University, Iwo to lead “Woven Family” in organizing Bowen Woven Words Competition.

Bowen Woven Words Competition was a writing competition for Bowen University from Feb – May 2018.

After that, he took it a step further by leading “Woven Family” in organizing another writing competition in Osun state.

With the approval of Osun State ministry of education Osogbo, My Woven Words organised OSCA Woven Words Competition; a writing competition for undergraduates of tertiary institutions in Osun state from Aug 2018-Mar 2019.

Johnson Okunade loves blogging about Culture. He is on a quest to promote various noble cultural heritages through online publications and blogging.

Occasionally, as the one in charge of My Woven Words, he drafts proposals and letters to appropriate entities so as to collaborate and work on appropriate cultural documentary.

Often, He visits royal fathers and reputable elders with adequate reservoir of knowledge on the subject of culture.

He has created and promoted numerous rare cultural contents on the “Woven Culture” category of the blog, My Woven Words and across different social media platforms, most especially facebook.
