Let's be careful with how we share images of broken, black bodies. We should have empathy without people perching like flies over black suffering.

The fact that my parents are richer than I am is a source of anguish for me. How am I supposed to bury them well when they die kwanu?

See, I'm doing final edits for my agent. Y'all need to buy the hell out of this book (and subsequent others) when it's published. Biko. E jo.

Colorism, whitewashing & appropriation worsened over the years and helped drive the capitalist machine in entertainment. Black people who were put in certain positions cared more about their sit at the white table than the collective & corrective representation of black people.

Countries in the West need to stop using African nations as a barometer against which to measure their successes and failures.
