It’s not every day you see a Nigerian book adapted into ballet

Pure joy watching Oyinkan Braithwaite’s My Sister, the Serial Killer come to life on stage. Felt like rereading the book with grace

The book-to-movie pipeline is great but can we get more Nigerian books in theatre ?

On this day in 1908, Jack Johnson became the first black American World Heavyweight Boxing Champion by knocking out Tommy Burns.

Johnson holding on to the heavyweight crown was not acceptable in an era of white imperialism.

#OnThisDay, December 26, 1908, Jack Johnson made history by becoming the first Black American to win the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship. He defeated Tommy Burns in Sydney, Australia, securing a victory that shook the world.

Today we honor Michaela DePrince, whose remarkable journey from a war-torn childhood to becoming a celebrated ballet dancer inspires us all. She gained international recognition for her inspiring journey from an orphan in Sierra Leone to becoming a prominent ballet dancer with prestigious companies such as the Dutch National Ballet.

Her grace, perseverance, and dedication have left an indelible mark on the world of dance. May she rest in peace, and may her legacy continue to inspire and uplift us all.

Did you know Sesame Street was originally created for black and brown inner city kids?

Sesame was really black, from the jive talk to the soul and funk music to the set and cast.
