Born in Lagos, Nigeria to two journalists, Omono was exposed to a rich culture of the arts at a very young age. Perhaps fueled by her parents' profession, one of her earliest aspirations was to be a writer. So confident in her talents, at age eight she boldly proclaimed school a useless hurdle for her ambitions.

Anchored by a dimple on each cheek, Omono has a smile to lighten up a room, and pairs this with a fun, quick-witted charm
