just finished a 2k word story about My Father's Shadow and the identity of a Nigerian and African titles in the co-production landscape. be there!

But fr we need to talk about how this administration is killing romance in general.











Love the look and feel I’ve created for this newsletter. Really looks like something I’d subscribe to if I randomly see it in the wild (and not its curator).

Nigeria, a country battling with poverty, bad roads, and unstable electricity, is celebrating a young man they killed for being gay. Hilary Ikechukwu, a promising 23-year-old fresh graduate, was reportedly tied on both hands and thrown from a three-storey building by a group of homophobes. Even during his funeral, these people gathered outside his family's home dancing and shouting homophobic slurs as you can see in this video. Stories like this are why Pride exists — to remind people that every life deserves dignity and safety. Rest in peace, Hilary 🕊️
