Ayo Volas
Ayo Volas. An enigma, but only for those who refrain from understanding. There’s an intensity about his spirit, a “wont-say-die” attitude that permeates his being and spreads like wildfire to those close enough to catch his drift. I know him as Ayomide. But, you can’t call him that. Not yet. It’s nothing personal, just… namesContinue reading “Ayo Volas”
