I had a refreshing conversation with Ibrahim @Nureinium of OPEN: journal of art @ojalart where I dug deeper into my literary journey. Why "Aswagaawy?" What's this haiku/haibun? Who are your idols? I've answered this & other questions in the discourse.

I am excited to share that my #haiku poem won second place in the Sakura category and the People's Choice Grand Prize at the Atlanta Haiku Festival Competition. It is currently showcased as a sign in Storza Woods at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
🌸 I am thrilled to share that my haiku won 2nd Place in the Sixth Maya Lyubenova International Haiku Contest! 🌸 A huge thank you to the judges and everyone involved.

@efftalkz @Benjaminanyanwu Sexual harassment escalates over time--victims do not speak out immediately. It's important to listen carefully to her story, as she has endured significant mistreatment from the SP. Recall that the SP previously made a gender-biased remark, saying "this is not a market place."
@sniperlee46@m_otekileh@vian337@channelstv I am curious about when the media became a court of justice. Evidence should be presented in the courtroom, not online. In situations like this, you don’t reveal all your cards online and give your opponents a chance to prepare their defense in advance.
@namakurarin@HaikuCrush I recommend starting with Adjei-Baah's Afriku, which is available for order on Amazon. You may also download the haiku collection here: https://t.co/UVf3WqFGel. The Africa Haiku Network has made the haiku collection accessible to anyone interested in reading African haiku.
@namakurarin@HaikuCrush Thank you very much. I am currently the Assistant Editor of The Mamba Journal. I am more than happy to provide more information/resources on African Haiku and Agyei-Baah’s work, if necessary.

Best, AHN Team.
@NimcSupport I recently received an email notifying me of my NIN suspension due to a complaint I made regarding retrieval difficulties. Please do not suspend/cancel my NIN or, if possible, reactivate it. I have successfully retrieved my NIN and logged into the app.
Delighted to announce that I have been shortlisted for the 2023 Caine Prize for African Writing. All glory be to Jesus. Special thanks to my lovely editor, Ukamaka Olisakwe (@MsOlisakwe) for trusting my story and giving it wings.
