It's an honour to have my work and journey shared on @Fifty Four Magazine alongside so many inspiring African voices. I'm incredibly grateful to the editors, photographers and everyone who has made issue 15 a success.
I hope you'll take a moment to read the feature and learn about my life revealed here in detail for the first time as well as the inspirations behind my writing:

🇫🇷 ALERTE - Le terroriste raciste de Trappes a déclaré aux policiers avoir voulu VENGER les commerçants pillés le 17 octobre en ciblant des "Noirs" et des "Arabes". Un exemplaire de "Mein Kampf" a été retrouvé à son domicile. (Le Monde)

No media coverage on Professor Jason Arday cleared AGAIN of plagiarism while the weasel faced white supremacist who instigated the witch hunt against him is being feted at Oxford University for a talk on DEI backed by racist party Reform UK.
Reform Uk isn’t ’satisfied’ with another clearance of Arday so launching independent review of his appointment at Cambridge University but not Oxford University’s appointment of Dr Lola Salem who is on trial for possessing indecent images of children. She just happens to be Michael Gove’s ex girlfriend. Zero media outrage.
White power should be studied.

🚨 BREAKING: A Black couple showed up to tour an apartment in Queens... and the broker accidentally texted THEM instead of the owner: "Ugh. They are Black."
They'd just moved from Delaware for her new job. Now they're SUING Douglas Elliman, the agent AND the owners.
"It doesn't change the pain. It doesn't take away the pain you caused us that day."
Think about it. They were judged before they even had a chance.
They only found out because she texted the wrong person. Most people never do.

😂 Dr. Abdul El-Sayed delivers a hilarious comeback!
Reporter: "Why are you campaigning with Obama if you disagree with him?"
Abdul: "Do you love your dad?"
You don't agree on everything even with your dad

I've watched multiple YouTube documentaries on the Biafran war but this book, "The Road to the Country" by Chigozie Obioma, did more justice.
Ngl, I was walking through the war myself😭

@JCObioma Soon to be adapted for film, this novel is more than a gripping read . It's a significant work of contemporary fiction that will likely stand as one of the century’s most memorable. 👇🏾

"I have always thought that the novel, if it must survive and endure, has to be challenged every time we engage it."
I interviewed Chigozie Obioma on his latest novel on the Biafra War, and how he integrates Nigerian folklore into his fiction.

Georgia's own Naomi Whitehead has become the oldest American after turning 116.
Here's a picture when she turned 16 in 1926 when she was living in rural Georgia.

We have not seen a caravan headed to the U.S. southern border in several years, why now?
Oh yeah, there is an election coming and the GOP needs to scare you into voting because nothing else is working.
