So here I am trying to write a LinkedIn article on how relationships should be deeper. How we should know each other better. How sad it is that most of us don’t know the actual personalities of our closest family members–their deeply held beliefs, needs, and what drives them. But who am I to say […]

I had my first queer relationship this year. And I was definitely a little “homophobic” before it. It’s evidence of a major theme in my life: becoming everything I’ve ever judged. My feelings about queering have evolved over my decades on this planet, and I wasn’t as questioning about it when I started this relationship […]
When you’ve been out of school for a whole century, the idea of grad school can be incredibly intimidating. Throw in the fact that you’re crazy ambitious enough to decide that you want an ivy league school, and you’ve now multiplied the doubts and fears by 100. But you want this badly, so you push […]
I spent about 36 of the last 48 hours agonizing over whether or not I wanted to give up my Brooklyn apartment. I’m over New York, the abusive boyfriend who is the kind of beautiful of Idris Elba and Prison Bae combined. He punches you in the gut when you least expect it, but is […]

It’s maybe these kinds of secrets that make it uncomfortable for many Nigerians to pay attention to our Ancestors. Who wants to find out the sins of our father-mothers and receive corresponding “curses”? Who wants to be responsible for undoing the sins of their forefathers?
