To the untrained eye, this just looks like a bunch of squiggly lines. To me, it’s like using lots of emojis like this 😍 , but with science-based waves 🌊 instead of faces. Which I then turned into a basic pattern.

Whose ceramic narrative transcends YOUR curated, colonial-framed understanding of art?

Added ‘Black History for Every Day of the Year’ to my library. This book’s perfect for them moments when ya wanna dive into a few pages without committing to a marathon reading session 🏃🏽‍♀️. A different kinda flexible friend.

Created by David Olusoga with his siblings Yinka and Kemi, it’s packed with stories from ancient times to modern day. Each page reveals something different - from the anti-slavery movement to modern icons like Beyoncé and Stormzy.

No dusty shelf life for this one. It’s perfect for those in-between moments - morning teas, lunch break, or right before bed. Filled with quotes, poems, and illustrations. Even the hardback cover 😍.
