This is it!
My new book is here 🥳🥳🥳
The Penguin Club is a love letter through the lens of a sweet teenage boy.
Lost love between adults, childhood crushes, children navigating dysfunctional homes…
It’s so beautiful!🥹

My laptop just fell of my desk.
I heard that sound and knew it was over.
First thing I did was dish myself small rice, because the last time I cried on an empty stomach, I nearly died.
Sigh.

Update: I suffered some (expected) physical damage (currently being fixed), but was able to retrieve my key files - thankful for this mercy!
Thanks for the hilarious comments, the relatable stories shared & the sympathies.

My last child, nobody can stress her in this life.
They were playing hide and seek and the others hid real good. Five minutes after searching unsuccessfully, she comes "Mommy can I have a storybook to read?"
I gave her.
The others are still hiding in my closet 😭🤣

We stared at ourselves for a while.
Then she poured half into her palms and pushed the other towards me.

I've made two short films that never saw the light of day, money down the drain but learning all up the brain.
Sometimes, the cost of knowledge is the knowledge of being okay being some candles that burn out before they light up anywhere.
Still, go and win.

The first thing I normalized with my kids was "I love you" and "I love you too".
I protect it fiercely.
They've grown to that point where they meet other kids whose parents make it sound like a taboo and they started reducing it.
I no gree.

I told a group of younger singles a few weeks ago that "we will grow together is a scam". Growing together is good, but there is a baseline of what makes sense to even be together.

I cant forget how I was in this big supermarket run by an Igbo man and his wife, they have chains of it across town.
A man walked in, picked two cans of Orijin and left. The Supermarket owner told the man beside him, " This man is the kind of humble I aspire to."
