Sometimes what feels like betrayal to us is someone else's desperate act of self-preservation. And those watching from the sidelines carry wounds we rarely acknowledge. I just published Letting Go of Your Scissors in 2025 https://t.co/DXz8kA8B5g
A PhD researcher at the University of Michigan is working on an interview study about AI, deepfakes, and sex workers. They’re currently recruiting sex workers who use AI for sex work or/and have been targeted with an NCII deepfake. Details in image. https://t.co/eoI8ws39DC.
For any Nigerians shocked about Afghanistan, it’s legal to beat wives in Nigeria under the Penal Code. The Federal Capital Territory operates the Penal Code. It has not been repealed. Afghanistan is just getting to the dark ages, we’ve been there for a long time.

Don’t wait for a grand stage. Start where you are. Serve one person well, and let the ripple grow. Purpose is not always loud, but it’s always powerful when lived authentically. #AsYouRiseToday
I accepted the invitation to become an Advisor to @ClubdeMadrid - Club de Madrid, “the world’s largest forum of democratic former Presidents and Prime Ministers, who leverage their individual and collective leadership experience and global reach to strengthen inclusive democratic practice and improve the well-being of people around the world”.
As our global context becomes even more complex, the leadership vacuum delays solutions to “global public Bads”.
I therefore deeply appreciate how these former leaders of democracies around the world continue to dedicate themselves to helping solve our global challenges and amplify opportunities for cooperation.
Delighted to support. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
Randomly remembered that about 10 or more years ago, @xniyi and I were working on The Robot Lawyer. An algorithm powered platform that would be able to scan cases and predict patterns in judgments of different judges. Access to data stopped our work. @famuyideolawale did the logo
I need a list of books written by African women in (current or former) Politics or any corporate or technical leadership. Books like ‘Love does not Win Elections’. Please reply under if you have any. Building a list for 2025.
We all want different things. Some similar, some clearly different. We then measure what others want with our own scale of desires. Sometimes it seems too much on that scale, other times it seems too little. Either way, we huff and puff with an air of superiority of choice.
