The Packers crushing the Vikings today is particularly delightful; for personal reasons of course. My baby got justice 😉 #GoPackGo #NFLsky #GreenBayPackers

Being able to dress up in the morning and leave the house for work is such an underrated privilege. I WFH (mostly in my pjs) that I didn’t know how much I miss leaving the house. I’m still going to complain about putting makeup on.

Watched a few episodes of ‘She the People.’ Felt queasy the entire time. #TylerPerry wrote an Harvard educated lawyer as a clueless, inept nonentity. #ShethePeople is an unforgivable embarrassment. Black women deserve better.

When I chose to go to grad school, I was told in my ultra conservative Christian community that no man would want to marry me, because educated women are not submissive. Who cares about a man when you can read books? I got a PhD and a man with double doctorate ✌🏾

morality aside: it turns out, as a purely sociological matter, that a politics premised on empowering people who loudly and performatively don't care if discriminated-against Others suffer and die results in surprisingly indiscriminate suffering and death. this needs to be explained to people

Fascinating additions. I worry though that Nigeria is slowly becoming Yoruba🧐. Ojogbon @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, what do you think? By the way, you see what I did there?

My favorite New Year’s hymn. It hits differently this time because I can relate to Frances Havergal’s experience around the time she penned this poem

Johnnie Mae is one of my favorite characters in this movie. She did not let others’ judgment on her ‘uncouth’ nature affect her. #SixTripleEight
Side note, this is the best work Tyler Perry has done imo. For once, a black woman’s trauma is not a feast. #blacksky

On Thursday the 2024 issue of @theneweuropean.bsky.social comes out and they have given me the platform to explain why Gisèle Pelicot is my hero and how she radically changed the conversation about shame and sexual assault
It is my proudest writing.

Yoruba imperialism with a dash of supremacy at its finest. However, the nuances of this issue isn’t what a news story would do justice.
"“I have nothing in common with the people from the north of the country, the Boko Haram where Islamism is.
“Being Yoruba is my true identity, and I refuse to be lumped with northern people of Nigeria, who ‘were our ethnic enemies..."
