"You need to be shameless about the way you read. Read all the things, even things that you think that you shouldn't read. Don't be afraid to read things that are controversial. Don't be afraid to read things that will shake you and will shake your faith." — @chemelumadu.

Not me waking up at 6am, walking 10 km, getting dress and driving to work, only to find that it’s Sunday today. I even wore my Romanian blouse in solidarity with Rares's family who lost one of their beloved pets last night. Been laughing at myself all morning. 😂

After four long, blank years of #LongCovid, I didn't think I'd ever see a book with my name on the cover again. Thanks to the team members (and esp Rachel + Karina) for trusting me with this wonderful project. Kudos to all the gifted writers! I learnt from you all.
