I have arisen from my social media slumber to come promote my new article with @fansplaining! Super excited for this to be out as it's been in the works for a while now. 5,000 words. African fandom deep dive. Language capital. Decolonialism. Let's go! 🚀 fansplaining.com/the-elation-an…

Don't everrrrrrrrrrrrrrr forget the tremendous privilege that it is to be healthy, to have a job and food. Don't minimize it, nor ever lose sight of it. And above all, be grateful for it.

sometimes the way an author writes is so intelligent and thought-provoking and passionate that it makes me wonder if they're even human

I think everyone should pick a book & read it this month. Illiteracy is running rampant

I love writers who write the human experience. This is why you can watch a gut wrenching film made in a different country and understand the emotions. Pain is pain. Death is death. Trauma is trauma. No matter the language or place, a story well written is always well written.

A moving woman will meet her luck.

Being able to articulate your thoughts into writing is a crazy gift.

great time to remind everyone to expand your reading horizons, read challenging things, read outside of your taste, read obscure books, read less well known authors, don’t feel cornered into the same ten authors and the same bestsellers. read whatever the hell you want. have fun.

i just realised, my relationship with books is the longest, most committed relationship of my life and it has never once let me down.

Cults require too much ‘together’ time, and as a person who enjoys their solitude and not listening to a man speak for too long, I know I would be excommunicated within a week.

Major cheat code for life: Believe that things will work out for you. Not blindly, but through effort. When you expect good things and pair it with action, you start noticing opportunities others miss. Optimism paired with effort is a powerful force.

Mental health is great, and all. However, I strongly recommend, at least once, you obsessively pursuing a goal with a divine madness to see just great you can be

*i’m not picky* me after seeing the menu

@QTarantino_ Yeeess!

Hey all! Anyone want to join a writer’s group where we read another member’s script every 2 weeks, have film assignments and read Oscar Nominated screenplays and bring back takeaways?

You see that urge to be in everybody's good books, Kill it before it kills you.

@Ayumah_Staycie It did seem a bit long but also I think it fits perfectly for the intended audience! Waiting to see how book 2 plays out.

@JulieAmbani @bennetowuonda @NuriaBooks Your thoughts on the book? I found it unnecessarily long with extra plots that really didn't add to the main plot. But I liked it regardless.

Finished rereading this so I could finally get to reading book 2! Copy from @NuriaBooks

While I enjoyed majority of this book, the ending just didn’t do it for me. Nevertheless, I’d still recommend reading it. It will definitely have you curious for majority of the story!

Got around to finishing my reread of Circe and I still enjoyed it as much as I did when I first read it in 2021. Best quote: “A golden cage is still a cage.” Maybe it’s age, but the quote resonated much more in my reread! Copy from @NuriaBooks
