I think we forget how incredibly rare Chimamanda’s success is.
She’s not a pop-star or model or actress, she’s a writer.
She’s a female African writer attending the MET Gala as part of the host committee.

I stood alone at the bar, but I wasn’t alone. Every sacrifice, every prayer, every lesson from my parents stood beside me. They couldn’t be there physically, but they’re written into every chapter of this victory.
Mum. Dad. I hope heaven is loud with your applause.🤍

Today I was called to the Nigerian Bar. My mother was seated. My dad wasn’t.
He held my hand through every version of me the boy learning to walk, the teenager figuring out who he wanted to be, the law student drowning in casebooks, the son sitting by his bedside those last few nights. He held it until the night before he left. That’s the kind of love I got to have. Not everyone does.
One of the last things I told him was that I’d become a lawyer. He said “congratulations.” That’s it. No long speech, no grand moment just my father, proud, in one word. I didn’t know it would be one of our last conversations. I’m grateful I told him in time
Man is not God, and God is not man. My father couldn’t stay no matter how much I needed him to, and there’s a kind of peace I’m still learning to make with that that even the people who feel infinite to us are still just men, on loan to us for a while. He wasn’t meant to stay forever. He was only ever meant to be here for now.
And maybe that’s the whole lesson. The present is the only gift we actually get. Not the future I imagined with him in it, not the past I keep replaying just now. So today, robes and all, I’m choosing to just be. To feel this fully the pride and the grief together, because they came from the same place.
Dad, I hope you’re proud. I hope somehow you already know. I love you, and I love the family you built that’s still holding me up. This one’s for you.

The Tyrells are proof that the most dangerous family in Westeros wasn’t the one with dragons, gold, or the biggest army.
It was the one that convinced everyone they were harmless.
The Starks ruled through honor.
The Lannisters ruled through fear.
The Targaryens ruled through dragons.
The Tyrells ruled through popularity.
Margaery nearly became the most beloved queen in the realm.
Olenna manipulated kings, queens, and entire alliances.
The Reach fed half of Westeros.
And somehow they managed to get Margaery engaged to Renly, Joffrey, and Tommen without ever having to start a war themselves.
People call Tywin the greatest political player in Westeros.
But Tywin spent decades making enemies.
The Tyrells were taking over the Seven Kingdoms while everyone was thanking them for it.
In fact, I’d argue House Tyrell was closer to controlling Westeros than House Lannister ever was.
Agree or disagree: The Tyrells were the most politically dangerous family in Game of Thrones, and if Cersei hadn’t blown up the Sept, they would’ve eventually eclipsed the Lannisters completely.
Parkwood Entertainment has defeated the copyright lawsuit over the “Alien Superstar” sample.
A judge dismissed the case Friday because the company suing them (Hirose Enterprises) wasn’t even legally formed until a week after they filed the lawsuit. The judge opened his ruling with the track’s own intro:
“Please do not be alarmed, remain calm… this district judge must conduct a troubleshoot test of the entire system.”
Parkwood had already cleared the sample directly with John Holiday, paying him $10K + royalties. Beyoncé wasn’t named in the suit.
GRV who is an architect, talked about how to solve Lagos flooding and other problems, but because his middle name is Chinedu - 'instead make water carry everybody dey go.'
Gbadegbo Rhodes-Vivour actually went to school to study for what he always thought that his beloved city-state needed.
I rate that intentionality a lot.
