Rotimi Fani-Kayode needs to be remembered. a gay Nigerian artist, exiled in the 1960s at the age of 11. I highly suggest the essay: Homoerotic African Art, in which Moyo Okediji analyses the art of Zanele Muholi & Rotimi Fani-Kayode—in the book; Western Frontiers of African Art.

As a young writer, I always wanted to be read. Here’s me today with my translated novel in Brazil after an event in an auditorium that “quickly ran out of seats and people had to stand outside to listen”

Never forget that you are the main data center. Drink water, and consume as much literature as possible.

I returned to the University of Illinois, Chicago to deliver the commencement speech for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

As an alum who earned both her Master’s and PhD there, returning in this way was surreal.

10,000 people were in that space. Hell of a milestone.

"violence isn't the answer" only gets said when oppressed people start fighting back, not when the oppression is happening
