In Agbaman for @YLReview, I sat down with @iquivoid, one of the sharpest ears in Nigerian music journalism. We talked charts, criticism and who gets to tell the Afrobeats story. Read 👇 yabaleftreview.com/on-seeing…

Now that I've written one, I hope I can rest 😒
Alongside an incredible cohort of Nigerian writers, we created 20 original picture books for children under the aegis of @bookbuzzNG and tutelage of @lolashoneyin.
My book, "When The Bulldozers Came", will be released alongside nineteen other picture books on October 7.

I'm going to give you the advice I wish I got.
📍Stay on LinkedIn. Connect with writers, editors, content managers, and founders. Follow people of value.
📍Take courses on SEO writing, content creation, social media marketing, and Ads management. It'll help your business plans.
📍Use your free time to write samples. If you can get up to 10 samples, you're good to go. Post them on your social media platforms.
📍Start pitching brands/businesses. Offer to write 1-2 samples for free, and build your portfolio. It can never be too early.
📍Open a Threads account. Talk about yourself there, and search for job opportunities. It's relatively easier.
📍Follow top creators on X, especially those who talk about writing, earning in foreign currency, and building a sustainable brand.
📍Carry your craft on your head. Don't be shy or ashamed to talk about what you do.
And finally, try to graduate with a good CGPA. I wish you all the best!
Excited to be part of the cohort 🥺

I've always believed that eradicating femicide starts from the way we raised kids because misogyny doesn't start in a day. In commemoration of the women's history month, I wrote about what we can all do to eradicate femicide. Read here and let me know your thoughts.

Nigeria, where nearly 113-million women and girls live, has just 20 shelters for survivors of gender-based violence. The Netherlands, with a female population of about 20 million, has 5,000.
For @thecontinent_, I wrote about the @HeartsNigeria shelter founded by @bettyabah.
