Gwari of the Capital
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Jos. Even though the gang and I were unable to visit the minor settlement in Bauchi. I believe we were able to get a good first-hand experience of the wonderful Izere people.
Divine Femininity
There are liminal spaces where time holds no meaning or power, spaces where the hours float by unbound, just out of your grip. The hair salon five minutes away from my house was one of such places.
Finding home III
I noticed that Dave was intimate with Meg in a way I never saw reflected in my parents. A slight touch here, a heavy gaze there. It was beautiful to watch.

Sikirat would never marry Dapo. He knew this, and it annoyed him.
Maintaining our African Heritage while in the Diaspora

The kind where the sun bleeds into everyday life.
Finding Home I
Onyawoibi is an Idoma girl stranded in England. Maybe amidst all the chaos she can find her way home without ever leaving the border.
You’re Not Tired I
Dozie and Salima spoke five languages between themselves, but for a long while, they had no words.

Reverie at the Workshop
The memorial was small, private. It was just a couple of friends and family come together in the living room to drink to his name and reminisce... After dinner that night when everyone had settled into their rooms for the next day, I decided to visit the workshop.
