I would, but not for free 😞

I am happy to share that my poem got published in the Unbound Anthology of New Nigerian poets under 40. Please, read my work and help me retweet so it can reach more people. Thank you.

i think we were meant to live slower than this. to grow tomatoes. to take afternoon walks. to cry without apologizing for it. to be bad at things and still do them. we weren’t designed for constant achievement. we were meant for moments. small, soft, nothing-special moments that somehow mean everything.

Thought for the day: proximity ≠ community ∧ community ⇒ proximity

I said I wanted a degree in Yorùbá. They responded by asking me to come and start a PhD. Apparently, the Head of Department is writing a thesis on my work. Moral of the story? Just do you. The world will adjust. The vision is simple: that a day will come when teaching Yorùbá is not just a job—but one of the most honored callings in the world. --Olùkọ Yorùbá bíi ọba ìlú kan

Millions around the world celebrate the birth of the baby on the left while turning a blind eye to the oppression of millions of babies like those on the right who come from the very same homeland and share the same ancestors. This Christmas, remember the people of Jesus’ nation.

A prospective PhD student should look for a kind and understanding mentor, not necessarily the most brilliant one or someone working at a prestigious institution. A kind mentor will focus on your progress and work to uplift you.

I am excited to share my piece, “The Hypocrisy of Community-Engaged Research,” published in @insidehighered. It critiques how the neoliberal university’s market-driven model prioritizes profits over justice-oriented research. insidehighered.com/opinion/career…

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.
