ABOUT | All The Light Within
What began as a simple blog during my maternity leave 16 years ago has grown into a lifelong passion. Back then, I needed an outlet—a place to pour out my creativity in its rawest form. I shared joy, gratitude, inspiration, frustration, anger, and everything in between. I named it Jumoke Odepe Writes, and it quickly became a home for my thoughts during one of the most transformative seasons of my life.

| Keep Hope Alive |
What started as a personal journal slowly evolved into a sanctuary for anyone needing a reminder that healing, hope and peace of mind are still possible. As the years passed, the platform grew alongside me. With time came clarity in my writing. I discovered a deep love for encouraging others.
That’s why I reimagined this platform as All the Light Within (ATLW). A simple name with a simple mission: To hold space for your heart. To offer hope and inspiration. To remind you that you are never alone. To share the radiant light within me with you. To share as many things as I wish to share with you. To share some of the light within me - with you.
Because whether you're across the world or right next door, these words are here to reach you—right where you are.
All the Light Within is built for people like us:
✨Those who need a pause, a prayer, or a reminder that you are not alone.
✨ Those who work, live, and connect online.
✨ Those searching for light in the middle of ordinary, everyday moments or tumultuous seasons of life.
Whether this is your first visit or your hundredth, thank you for being part of this story. Here, you'll always find:
✨ Inspiration
✨ Hope
✨ Gratitude - My ongoing collection of love letters to God, raw and unscripted
✨ Curated Lifestyle Tips
All the Light Within now reaches thousands of beautiful souls around the world, and it is an absolute gift to share this corner of the internet with you.
