My passion for social entrepreneurship only rivals my obsession in Literature.

💫💫This is what I got for #blackfriday 💫 💫 #manbookerprize #blackwomenwriters #africanliterature #blackwriters #blackbritain

I have never been to Lagos. This anthology was supposed to be my motivation to go. However, this city is very dangerous ooo. Honestly, this is one of the best collection of short stories I have read this year... And that @nnediokorafor story was lit 👌🏿hum is she becoming my favorite author?

It is my first time reading Bessie Head. People usually preferred her other novels. I will have to read the other works to compare them with this one. Overall, it was a great experience. I am glad I pushed through and finished it. I learned a lot about Bostwana. 🌟My review is on the blog🌟 https://afrobooks.org/2019/11/07/maru-by-bessie-head/

💫💫I believe Sarah Ladipo Manyika set out to break our stereotypes of what is an old person? How should they be? How should they live? We are expected to see certain things when we speak of old age, especially for women. However, Dr. Morayo shatters all those silly ideas. She is thinking about getting a tattoo for her 75th birthday. She bought a Porsche with her retirement money. She has all kinds of friends – young, old, Asian, white, gay… People my age would say she is living her best life. I like how this novel challenges me on so many levels. Why shouldn’t she live her best life? She is old, not dead 💫💫 The rest is on the #blog

💫💫Book Haul💫💫 I went to the screening of #thepiecesiam a documentary about the life and legacy of #tonimorrison. It was beautiful and inspiring! I cried and laughed and marveled at her journey. If you haven’t seen it, What are you waiting for? 💫💫Anyway, I bought these novels. I am starting with The Bluest Eye 🤗

Reading again this AMAZING book! #childrenofbloodandbone !! I can’t wait for number 2 #childrenofvirtueandvengance What if Zelie looks like this in the movie? Y or N?

My very first #graphicbook ~ world literature -👉🏿 next to see what’s inside the book
