see here ramblings, influenced by reality tv, white wine, and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Whenever I catch myself not reading things completely, I remember that anti intellectualism is on the rise and I don’t want to be a victim😭

the scene of emma making a manifesto, paralleling white figures of violence, with lil wayne and kingpin skinny pimp posters on her wall, does more for me than that dissonance actually being explained

born in a garage🤘🏾and written while I was reading octavia butler’s 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳, “idea 1” is about what it feels like to exist in this climate — the weight of being expected to witness, absorb, and speak truth at a time when the world feels like it's unraveling. that's a particular kind of burden Black women know intimately. this song doesn't offer answers, it just refuses to look away. produced by the brilliant @oscar_scheller additional guitar by @scarlethouse_ co-written with my talented bestie janiva ellis mixed by moi 💁🏾‍♀️ visual directed by 91 rules creative direction yasser abubeker kelela.co

For the first time, a series of Toni Morrison's Princeton lectures has been compiled into a book. Now, readers can engage with Morrison, not only through the lens of her fiction or essays, but through her role as a teacher. bit.ly/4bXSZeh

I spoke to a casting director and body image researcher about why we’re seeing fewer regular-looking faces on our screens, and why shows need individual – and believable – characters dazeddigital.com/beauty/article…

Thank you for not being one of those “I suffered during my time, you modern women complain too much” type of women. God bless you, you will never lack or go down in Jesus name!

Let me tell you about the picture in Frame 1. In August 2017, as a litigation lawyer in Lagos, I had work to do that required me to be at the office during the weekend. There was only one problem that weekend. I had a 16 months old son, no nanny and no one to leave him with at home so I asked my boss if I could bring him with me and she was gracious enough to agree. While I was working, my son fell asleep and I had to lay him down on the floor beside my table. In that moment, I took a picture of him sleeping and made a promise to myself that if I ever had my own firm, at some point in that journey, no woman working with me who had a caregiver emergency and needs to be at work will have to lay her baby on the floor. That same day, I thought of my struggles as a breastfeeding mother in the workplace and promised again that no woman working with me who had a baby will ever have to struggle for a private space to use her breast pump at work, relieve her aching breast to focus and save some quality milk for her baby. Frame 2 Today, we finished the renovation of our office building complete with a nursing room. Litigation is tough for women. The firm should not make it tougher. Strichland LP has a nursing room and today, by the grace of God, I kept that promise. ❤️ #WomenInLitigation

I know people love to announce how much they love canceled/canceling plans and not leaving the house, but as someone who also loves being at home as well, I want to say that you should try to see your friends as often as you can.

Omg. I was having this *exact* conversation w/a friend yesterday. As someone who !hates! asking for stuff, I’m learning that being a true part of a community is not just giving. You’re also supposed to take from it + give people the opportunity to give to you.
michelle.@michkeenah

it never occurred to me to ask bc driving someone to the airport at such an ungodly hour is a big thing to ask of anyone! but you kinda have to give ppl the opportunity to be inconvenienced by you. you’ll be surprised by the things people will do out of their love + care for you

instead of saying I had a boyfriend, I just mentioned I was Edo and somehow that did the trick - should I be grateful for tribalism or…?

We shouldn’t have resumed work this week. It honestly served nobody. We should have all just chilled and started next week.
