New episode, different me.
Hello, and welcome back to a new episode of Musings of a Tired Nigerian Girl. It’s been a while. The last time I was here was after Small Sallah, and I was unwell. Since then, a lot has happened, now I’m back in Kaduna. This episode is just me showing up again. I don’t have everything figured out, but I missed this space and I want to ease back into it. Thank you for sticking around.
