Thank you!

So excited to reveal the cover of my book, Musical Moments of Motherhood. I am grateful to the University of California Press for believing in this project.

There are so many people to thank; I will find the words to express my gratitude.

I cannot wait to share this book with you.🙂📚📖

I have sat with this news for some time, thinking about how I got her. I am grateful to everyone, family, mentors, colleagues, and friends who carry me on their wings. I got an award, friends :-)

I just saw the First Pan-African Cultural Festival (1969). All I could think about was, how our leaders don’t understand our history and the importance of preserving our culture. But I am inspired. I have many things to say, to write, and to share. So help me God!

Today, I am celebrating Professor Oyeronke Oyewumi for her intellectual contributions to the study of women and gender in Africa.

It feels bittersweet to hear about her retirement from academia. I am excited to see the amazing things she will do next.

Thank you, Professor Oyeronke Oyewumi!

Ugh..

I thought I escaped the cold weather in New York, but Los Angeles didn’t have much sun either. LA folks say it isn’t normal. Most are, however, grateful for the rain due to the wildfires. I am grateful for the brilliance of the folks who gathered.

A compelling read!
