Osonye Tess Onwueme
Osonye Tess Onwueme (born 8 September 1955) is a Nigerian playwright, scholar and poet, who rose to prominence writing plays with themes of social justice, culture, and the environment. In 2010, she became the University Professor of Global Letters, following her exceptional service as Distinguished Professor of Cultural Diversity and English at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire. She has won several international awards, including: the prestigious Fonlon-Nichols award (2009), the Phyllis Wheatley/Nwapa award for outstanding black writers (2008), the Martin Luther King, Jr./Caeser Chavez Distinguished Writers Award (1989/90), the Distinguished Authors Award (1988), and the Association of Nigerian Authors Drama Prize which she has won several times with plays like ''The Desert Encroaches'' (1985), ''Tell It To Women'' (1995), ''Shakara: Dance-Hall Queen'' (2001), ''Then She Said it'' (2003), among numerous honors and international productions of her drama.〔(Postcolonial Web )〕 Through her plays, she is able to use the theater as a medium to showcase historically silenced views such as African Women, and shedding more light on African life. She sustains her advocacy for the global poor and youth, along with the experiences and concerns of the (African) Diaspora in her creative work. In 2007, the US State Department appointed her to the Public Diplomacy Speaker Program for North, East, and West India. The ''2009 Tess International Conference: Staging Women, Youth, Globalization, and Eco-Literature,'' which was exclusively devoted to the author's work was successfully held by international scholars in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, following the Fonlon-Nichols award to the dramatist. She is regarded as one of the band of more important African authors.〔N. Graham Nesmith. "Osonye Tess Onweume. ''What Mama Said: An Epic Drama''", in ''African American Review'', Spring-Summer 2005 accessed at (March 29, 2007. )〕
==Early life and education==
She was born Osonye Akeake in ''Ogwashi-Uku'', present-day Delta state, to the family of barrister Chief Akaeke and Maria Eziashr. Osonye was educated at the ''Mary Mount Secondary School'': it was while at the school that she first dabbled in writing. After secondary education, she married an agronomist, I. C. Onwueme, and bore five children, during the time she attended the University of Ife, for her bachelor's degree in education (1979) and master's in literature (1982). She obtained her PhD at the University of Benin, studying African Drama. In 1998 she married Obika Gray, a Jamaican political scientist.〔Marvie Brooks, 'Onwueme, Tess', ''Who's Who in Contemporary Women's Writing'', Routledge, 2001, p. 243.〕
