Did you know Ukara is a traditional Igbo textile similar to Adirẹ Alabẹrẹ from Yoruba?
It's created using stictch-resist technique of Nsibidi signs and symbols to communicate ideas.
My Adire wall art allows the pulse of african history and stories to be carried into homes.

I have sympathy & admiration for writers wrestling language to the page. Is it for fame, glory, or just to make existence bearable & meaningful? Whatever u got going, we’re open for submissions for our Dec. 4 issue. Probably a few weeks left till we close subs for the year.

Some poetry ought to be displayed in museums or art gallery on something 🥰. I love poetry that throws me off, just read this....
"There is a kind of defiance in hanging your clothes to dry while the sky threatens rain"
🥶that line alone 🤯🥶

and if you think I'm crashing out on these AI allegations because I have a close relationship with the writer who was falsely accused of using AI in his poems, then you must be mad and silly!
Oladosu Michael Emerald retweeted
and also, if you think the Nigerian poet should forgive and forget what that woman did to him and his brother, you must be mad too. e no touch your side, nah why e sweet for mouth

some of you were busy minding your business as usual when the AI-witch hunt was crazy on that Nigerian poet, and I predicted how it would get to your doorsteps if you think it's a trivial issue. can you now see how much messier it's getting?
