They say every cell in our body regenerates every seven years. Finding a playlist I made in 2019 felt like my past self reaching into the future to touch the moment I’m in today. Time is a bent string. Perfect excuse to get back to sharing on substack 👉🏽https://t.co/eMi4bn6ezI
Maja Chwalinska has earned more prize money at this year’s Roland Garros than she’s earned in her entire career.
Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:
$864,030.
What she’s earned at this tournament:
$870,000.
She will be the new world No. 30 when the new rankings come out.
She started Roland Garros as the world No. 114.
A life-changing journey that started with a dream from qualifying.
She took a 4 month break after a 2 year battle with depression due to the pressure & stress of playing professional tennis.
She didn’t know if she would ever return to this sport.
Everything she’s earned this tournament and throughout her entire career has been earned the hard way.
The fact that she’s where she is today is nothing short extraordinary. 🥹

Do you remember Chidera Ikeoha, the youngster we found inside motor parks selling his book he wrote to feed and support his family?
Public donations for his book were channeled toward his education. The remaining funds will see him through to graduation.
We moved him from a public school and enrolled him in a private school in Enugu.
He is currently in SS1 and will enter SS2 in September.
Chidera is an A student determined and focused.
Supporting his education was a brilliant decision.
We have a star on our hands.
I’ve had conversations with people visiting @wejosrock platform for the first time, & many of them were curious about what it is truly about.
Those conversations inspired me to design an explainer on what you can find on this resourceful platform, https://t.co/KFov1ZkQS0,
“Our cities are in decay and the immigrants are the problem”.
A black South African exposing the multi-layered symptoms of a national epidemic.
The jejune opinion and a puerile attempt at rabble rousing you see here is proof positive that the Black South African political class and intellectuals are complicit in promoting a narrative of the “other” to justify failures of economic statecraft
Yes. That is exactly why we exist.
If you believe Nigeria needs fearless journalism that isn't controlled by politicians or oligarchs, help more people find gst. Share our work. Tell your friends about us.
The elections are coming. We'll be here.
