“I don’t know why I came to the Hub today, but I woke up and knew I had to be here” this statement was made by a member of our community, and it was one of the highlight of my stay in Akure. On the 8th of February 2019, I…

Twenty Ten Twenty

Twenty Ten Twenty 20-10-20 As the cold bullets pierced through my feeble melanin skin, knocking my weak hands as I waved my flag of protection- a talisman that was dead on arrival. It was green, garnished with white trimmings but alas my blood was the finishing touch! They shouted…

MY BUTTERFLY

MY BUTTERFLY Four weeks ago, my family welcomed a bouncing baby girl. In my opinion, I feel people underestimate the feeling you get when you see a new life being birth, this is because words are not even enough to describe the feeling. As this little bundle of joy slipped…

MUSE 2: LEAP

I have learned to savor each moment, Move my body to the rhythm of the music, beat to beat…as the crescendo rises. Leap at the sight of the horizon, Taste the morning dew, My pains and sadness of the night forgotten. Why? you might ask I know what it means to…

MUSE 1: THE WEAVERS LOOM

I string these words, like beads on a string. I stir with a ladle, like a broth in a stew pot. stringing it with love, watching it bubble. Bloom I say, blooming I see, the power of your string of word. I watch it flow, cascading like fresh water, on a cool evening sunset. I am the WEAVER, I weave words, stringing them like beads. The pen is my loom the paper my frame and the ink my wool. I spin words that heal, liberate and chastise.
