Send us a text Textual Deviants is back and better (read: rustier) than ever! In our much anticipated return to our textual roots, we tackle a listener suggestion, The Blood Trials by N. E. Davenport and from us to y'all, Mrs. Davenport might have just ate! Don't let the stunning cover or description fool. This is no YA novel, more like Adults ONLY! We follow Ikenna, our protagonist, (and fellow vaguely Naija gyal!) as she tries her best to figure out who killed her grandfather in the novel with...

Send us a text This is possibly the realest movie Disney Channel has ever made. And we aren't just referring to the fact that it is based on a true story. Disney really gave us a lesson in apartheid, blatant racism, and iconic 70s looks. TBH, we're not sure which if those was the most beneficial. T
