Virtual Tour: Teaser
FINALLY, I’m gonna take you with me 😂 I don’t usually do “teasers” but I’m ecstatic about this next post. Since moving to Nigeria, I’ve constantly had friends and family ask, “So what does a normal day there look like?!” I try describing it,… Continue Reading “Virtual Tour: Teaser”
Nigeria Service Update: August 2020
FAIR WARNING: It’s LONG, but totally worth it if you’re wondering what my life in Nigeria has turned into. “Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one,… Continue Reading “Nigeria Service Update: August 2020”
Dear Black Men:
Initially, I planned to use this letter as a platform to address what’s going on in society. I would comment on the police brutality. I would defend the cries for air, the pleas for breath, the petitions for equality, but God told me to… Continue Reading “Dear Black Men:”

Egusi Soup ft. a Louisianian.
Okay, so I know the last time I posted, I shared some background information on Egusi soup, possible origins, and the inspiration behind why it is often coined one of the BEST Nigerian dishes. This time, I made it myself, y’all. Like, I really… Continue Reading “Egusi Soup ft. a Louisianian.”
Welcome to Nigeria.
I’m finally sharing. Initially, I planned to post on the website the day I landed in Abuja, Nigeria, then I realized how useless that would be. I decided to give myself time to experience the city of Jos before I shared. That was the… Continue Reading “Welcome to Nigeria.”
The Countdown.
Today marks ten days. It was a bit surreal once I realized that I’m less than two weeks away from calling Nigeria home. It feels like it was only a few days ago when I made the announcement. I’d gotten so used to saying… Continue Reading “The Countdown.”
