✨ "Whatever you are looking for is also looking ✨ "Whatever you are looking for is also looking for you… Be available and ready when it shows up." — Sahndra Fon Dufe

When I began sharing and celebrating African literature, I only hoped to spark curiosity and open doors to its richness for wider audiences. What I didn’t realize was that in doing so, I was also opening doors for myself. 🌍📚

This journey continues to show me that when we honour our stories and make them visible, they find their way to people—and opportunities—beyond what we can imagine.

Happy Midweek! Hope you make time to curl up with a book! 😘
