Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

  In this remarkable story, Adunni, the main character, depicts ambition fuelled with a burning desire to succeed despite all odds. Tales of this type still abound in Lagos, and they are portrayed in the media daily. Adunni is hailed as the poor girl with a rich mind, "Sherlock Holmes," who never stops asking intelligent questions, a child-bride, and a strong-willed girl who grew up fast due to the circumstance her parents put her through. However, she had the guts to pursue the life she wanted. - An education by any means necessary.  Adunni finally got her groove back after reading such an easy book, I could relate to the characters there. the harsh and despicable reality of Lagos till date. I would recommend this book to my friends and would love to see it turned into a film.

A Message To Authoritarian Parents From A Nigerian Transgender

Habeeb Lawal now Noni Salma
Transgender  Noni Salma, formerly known as Habeeb Babatunde Lawal wrote on her IG page about her home life growing up with strict parents in a Muslim household. Should this be an eyeopener to parents on how brutish discipline grows into rebellion! Read after the cut.

"Fight for your freedom and truth!!! I grew up with very strict Muslim conservative parents and so a lot of "discipline" was instilled in me. Grew up with a lot of fear. Fear to live. Fear to use my voice. But that fear obviously had an expiry date. To be honest, right now I don't care who doesn't like me or those castigating me. I am free and that taunts them, so I'm good.
To my trans folks especially the ones In Nigeria, scared and unable to transition because of the hostile environment, I want you to know it gets better and you are possible. Doubt me? I used to be a scared child. Followed the rules. Conformed. Not anymore. This picture here is that of a rebel, one who knows who she is and knows what she wants. You can be that too, and more!
