Review Tingz!!!!!

Hey readers! Coming at you with another book review!!! I hope you like it!!! Alright, enjoy!!! The Bride Price  by Buchi Emecheta is such an amazing work of literature. I loved every part of it and I loved the historical and cultural ties it included. I guess you guys could call me a sucker for historical fiction 😉 . The complexity of her writing shows in each and every one of her works, and it's just so perfect. It's not fairytale-like, it's real. I really love this book!!! Okay, let me make you love it too! This story starts in the city of Lagos, in a home where a family lives. One day, the father leaves Akunna (the main character) and her brother at home. He said he was going to be back but, he never came back. No, he didn't just disappear silly; he died. Something was wrong with him and he was so, very sick. After this event, there was a long period of mourning, in that household. In fact, there was a whole funeral. It included the various tradition in the Ig

Hey Readers!!!! I'm coming at you with another review! Although the girl in this story is black, I don't think her case was judged like that because of her skin color, it was more of.... Well, let me just begin. Cyntoia Brown, a girl who was convicted of a crime in 2004. This was when she was 16 years of age. She was a child. Did she commit the crime? Yes, infact she did. She killed a man and was sentenced to life in prison (well 60 years with parole after 51). Why is this a story since she did commit the crime? Well, to answer your question, it wasn't the case of if she did it; it was why she did it. Let me explain. Cyntoia Brown came from a bloodline of... messed up people if you will. In this documentary, they refer to her as a child who didn't have a chance before birth and didn't have a chance now (at the time that is). She comes from a family of mentally abused, molested, and addicted people. This was on her mother's side by the way. Her fat

I'm finally back again! Did you miss me?😉Today I'm here with another book review!!!!!! So let's get into this delight of a book! 'The Slave Girl' is such a lovely book. I think I even read it twice! Although I don't think I finished it the first time. Anyways, let's really talk about this book. Shall we? Buchi Emecheta wrote this book in such a perfect way. Let me explain. It all started with an ogbanje child. An ogbanje child is one that keeps dying and coming back. This child in particular never died and came back. She was a girl child of course, so it was very unusual for them. This is because every ogbanje child they had given birth to was a girl child. Who is they? Her parents of course. Who is her? Ogbanje Ojebeta of course. She is the token slave girl, but we aren't there yet! I don't even think I want to tell you how she became a slave. Yeah, that's for you to find out😉. Anyways, her parents were so excited to have her. They a

Hey readers! This is coming a day late due to technical difficulties 😬 . I am so sorry about that, but I hope you enjoy today's book review!!!!! Let's talk about 'A Man of the People' by Chinua Achebe. Yes, we are going back to the classics. Although if I am going to be honest, when you think about Chinua Achebe, you usually think of 'Things Fall Apart'. I would like to say that this is one of his lesser-known novels. I'm going to be honest with you, it wasn't my favourite when I began, but I became more invested as I went through it. It's not the best book I've read, but it certainly wasn't the worst. It was in the middle for me, but I will definitely continue to read this kind of literature! Again, that's only my opinion, so I'm thinking you'll have to read it yourself to judge it accordingly. In this novel the central theme here is POLITICS. I mean Nigerian politics by the way. That can get messy realllll quick! In this

Hey readers! This here is another review that provides education about the Black Lives Matter movement. Enjoy reading!!!!! When They See Us was pretty scary for me to watch. The fact that this could happen to me or my friend terrified me. All because of the difference in skin colours. I'm not going to lie, I watched this last year and not recently. I couldn't watch it again. I remember balling my eyes out because of what happened to these 5 children. These 5 children were Korey Wise, Antron McCray, Raymond Santana, Yusef Salaam, and Kevin Richardson. Let me explain. The Central Park 5 were accused of the sexual abuse of a white woman. Yes, this woman was sexually abused, beaten and almost killed and of course, justice needed to be served. She didn't lie about that, she didn't lie about anything in fact. Let's look into the system now. This crime was reported to the NYPD and lo' and behold a band of children that were found in the park were rounded up and i
