I (officially) came out to my (Catholic) mother. I watched her as her heart broke again, probably thinking, so the rumors are true. This thing that you are will send me to an early grave, she said. Come, see where you should bury me when I die, she pointed.

I don't know who needs to hear this but it's okay to come out when you're 16 or 25, 30 or 40, in your 50s, years after you've been married, even when your kids are grown. There is no right age to come out. Your queerness is still valid.

No matter how much you read or hear about gaslighting, nothing can prepare you for the actual reality of it. Nothing prepares you for the crippling guilt. Guilt that you might have exaggerated the story or that things didn't really happen the way you remember them.

There were many moments during the filming of Ìfẹ́ that @uzoamaka_a1 made me, a horrible dancer, break into dance. Her acting is what I call a director's dream! Girl, I'm so incredibly proud of you.

If a pastor comes to you that he wants to be your spiritual daddy, (I don't even know what the fuck this means) just know he's looking for how to start abusing you sexually, spiritually and all sorts of ways. This was exactly how my pastor in Cyprus, Anyi Obi operated.
