Poetry collection

Adesanya's debut poetry collection titled Musings of a Tangled Tongue was published in 2016 by Kiibaati Resources Limited to rave reviews. It contains 54 poems over sixty pages.[6]

The collection has been described as "a debut publication that invites readers on a poetic journey paved with goofiness, love dealings and dilemma, child-rearing and childhood, supplication, existential musings, corporate chaos, mischiefs and misadventures, and outright naughtiness."[7] and also as "witty, it's irreverent, it's relatable, and most importantly, it is refreshing."[8]

Card game invention

In 2014, Yemi invented two card games. One was called The Game of Giants, designed "to teach history in a fun and interactive way"[9]

.[10] She has also suggested new informal holidays in Nigeria.[11]
