Toronto owes me nothing. 🖤

I left Toronto with a full heart...ideas sharpened, spirit steadied, while surrounded by friends&kin. Engaging at the #TWAIL conference was uplifting. Thanks to Profs Okafor & Bawa for the invitation.

I’ve been fortunate to receive, among others, the Nicole Senécal Award in International Law, but even more so to have met Ms. Senécal in person and shared a rich lunch conversation on everything from international law to life beyond the academy. Special thanks to Ms. Nget for facilitating this!

Edmonton welcomed me last week at the #RILS conference, and the camaraderie was palpable! Thanks to the organizers for creating space & @ubakaogbogu.bsky.social for hosting. My piece “Two Sides of a Coin: Are a Coin” offered a metaphorical exploration of migration as currency & border as method.
