Winifred is morphing ... 🐛🦋

I did a thing yesterday. 😇 And I want to do more. ✌️ #artsnchill #artsnwomen #iwm #nonfiction #reading #mother

My 10-year-old daughter is nonverbal… but her art speaks louder than words. 🤍 She drew this all by herself. I see joy, freedom, and a beautiful soul. Would you encourage her to keep going? 🥹✨

I highly recommend getting comfortable with attending events, coffee shops, museums, movies, concerts, and traveling by yourself so you don’t miss out on life waiting on people who might never show up.

Just sold my first Poetry piece 🥹😭

It’s Day 13 of me sharing African women who shaped the political and social fabric of the African continent, yet you may or may not know them. Today we talk about Hajia Gambo Sawaba. She is known as the most jailed woman in Nigeria. Even so went on to be imprisoned 16 times for her activism against British colonialism in Northern Nigeria and her women's rights organizing. Hajia's influence shaped the role of women in political spaces in Northern Nigeria from passive agents to bold voices who defied cultural and religious barriers that told women to keep quiet and just handle domestic affairs. Hajia was definitely ahead of her time especially that she started her political activism at only 16 years old with no formal education. I read her memoir published in 1979 and truly what a woman and what a warrior. Through abuse, betrayal, frequent arrests and being jailed, she always came out of it more radical and ready to fight. Hajia fought so hard for women in the north to get voting rights that other women in part of Nigeria had received. As many women in the north of Nigeria followed the practice of purdah, a form of social seclusion, Hajia went from house-to-house to speak to them. This displeased the Authorities in Kano and, in 1952, she was hauled before the conservative Alkali (Magistrates) Court, on charges of “drawing out women who were in purdah”. The court sentenced her to three months in prison. Yet it didn't stop her. Every arrest, motivated her to do more.

@zeezahtoye Beautiful 😍

I looked like ART for Eid💜

Read as much as you write.

Humans spent centuries writing books, essays, articles, and research papers. Then we used all that human writing to train AI systems to write like humans. Then we built another AI system to inspect the writing and say, “This looks AI suspiciously.” So now we have one machine trained on humans to sound human, and another machine trained on humans to figure out whether the first machine sounds a little too human. And after all that, a stressed human still has to make the final call.

@JoanThatiah Love this 💕

Dear reader, something good is on the way.

Okay, so I've been trying to drop my phone, but I'm always back to it in a few minutes, so I decided to read up on what's actually going on Turns out it's called dopamine hijacking, and every app we use is doing it to us right now Let me explain what I found

I was going through my dad’s bookshelf when I came across a Yoruba dictionary. The moment I saw it, I could tell it wasn’t a recent one. That’s when I learned that “surname” in Yoruba is orúkọ àpèlé.

Felt like crying this night so I went and rewatched Biodun Stephen's "Sista" 🥲🥹

My book is out in Nigeria today and I don't know what to do. But hey, congratulations Adedayo. You wanted your book, The Years of Blood, in Nigeria so now you have it. It's in a company of accomplished writers. 🥹

The JIAS Writing Fellowship is back for its ninth edition. Running from 1 April – 30 June 2026, the fellowship brings scholars, writers, and creative practitioners to Johannesburg to focus on long-form research and creative work. #JIAS #JIASWritingFellowship #JIAS2026Fellows

The wait is over. The cover of our next issue is a commanding illustration of Ladi Kwali: a cultural icon and one of the most consequential artists in Nigeria's history.

The relationship between Africa and African America has long been mediated through language, memory, rupture, and imaginative return towards home. Today, a new generation of poets stands at the intersection of these histories.
