For @britishvogue, I wrote about the album that changed my life. Lemonade came out when I was 16, and I have charted my life through it ever since. The greatest of all time, by the greatest of all time!

🇳🇬❤️🔥I wrote the culture cover of this weekend’s @gdnsaturday, all about Naija baddies! I honestly think if I could conjure up my dream commission, this would be it.
To mark the opening of a groundbreaking new exhibition on Nigerian Modernism at the Tate Modern, I spoke to leading British-Nigerian artists and cultural figures about how Nigerian art has shaped their work and life. Nigeria has such a rich, diverse artistic history, and I learned so so much from doing these interviews. It’s such a treat to see so many facets of it in this gorgeous spread. Sade, Fela Kuti, Skepta, Wole Soyinka, Chimamanda — no dey carry last!! Naija to the world! Have a read online tomorrow⚡️

some of the rich, pulpy stuff that makes life worth living from the last month, including variously: mum turning 60, jordan and ed turning 30, reuniting with mis amores en valencia, watching talented authors win big book prizes and lots of tennis and live music and live art and live sunsets and being outside:))

i feel really lucky to have done some very cool interviews in the last few years, but this might be my favourite yet !! 🤎
a few weeks ago in new york, i spent a gorgeous morning with new literary power couple @marlonjameswriter and @nicholastboggs at their impossibly chic williamsburg apartment, for the books cover of this weekend’s @gdnsaturday. we chatted about many things, primarily the fact that they’re respectively shortlisted for this year’s booker and baillie gifford (hello?!!), and that they made out in the queen’s bathroom in buckingham palace on their third date. both of their books — the disappears and baldwin:a love story — are meditations on black queer life in different ways, and there is some gorgeous synchronicity between the two texts (read the full piece to find out what it is!). both are also 700+ pages - long live the doorstopper!!
gorgeous people, gorgeous company. have a read in print in the guardian saturday magazine or online now 💌

At 19, Northampton’s DC3 has two MOBO awards and Stormzy in his corner – but he’s still making music from the place where it began. “I think if I was in London, I’d end up just doing what everyone is doing, because I think it’s highly saturated,” he says. “You find a lot of the same types of sounds.” His hometown, by contrast, did not have a huge music scene for him to slot into – something that worked in his favour. “That made me want to be different,” he says. Writing music from his childhood bedroom, DC3 taught himself through YouTube and watching Hot 97 and BET, before a video of him freestyling over Stormzy’s “Shut Up” put him in front of the man himself. Stormzy has since become someone DC3 considers a “brother”, but that first encounter was proof of how far the internet could take him. “Anyone is watching. I don’t think there’s a limit to who is seeing it,” he says. You just need an idea interesting enough to stop the scroll. “The game has changed now.”

nike after dark tour 2026!! 💘❤️🔥 (moonlighting as a running influencer lmaoo)
in the depths of winter marathon training a couple of years ago, i’d spend my evenings running the same two routes over and over - both along busy, well-lit high streets, constantly dodging and weaving through crowds. one of the most frustrating things about training was that 90% of the time, i couldn’t run in the park or down a quiet street, because it didn’t feel safe.
a few years ago, i even stopped running for a while because virtually every time i went out, i’d get catcalled. it’s so exhausting and infuriating that something as simple as going for a run can feel like such a battle!!
it might seem trite but running alongside thousands of other women in the dark this weekend felt so liberating (apart from the like three men who ran it and decided to try and ruin it for everyone lmao)
thank you @nikelondon @sasha.brown @canoeinc for inviting me to be part of such an incredible weekend 😽😽

such a pleasure to host this illuminating and very necessary conversation about misogyny, language and power with @sydneymcallister_ and @ashleylouisejames last weekend at @cheltfestivals
the week leading up to it was a particularly harrowing one in terms of news about violence against women and girls, but it was so heartening to see people spilling out of the doors for our talk (including lots of young men), and i left feeling so inspired by everyone in the room.
thank you to @cheltfestivals for having me! 💘

my latest @guardian book review is of the recovery house by @derekvsowusu — a novel slight enough to cradle in your hands, and one that feels as though it must be handled in this way: with care, liable to shatter if held too tightly. it is a uniquely honest and affecting meditation on art, religion and mental health, told with a preternatural tenderness. (and any book which opens by telling me to listen to zombie by the cranberries is already on to a winner imo).
