When I was in Nigeria, my friends were going on and on about Cardi B’s plans for the Nigerian economy and I was so confused.
Alas it wasn’t who I thought.
My husband has been sending me $100 every day this week counting down to my birthday. It’s the cutest thing. Like his first text in the morning is happy birthday week then $100 😂
Guys, we must stand by the ladies of
@feminist_co
. Everyone’s been clear from get, that there is no leader. Those of us who have lived through the government’s many tricks, know what’s next. They’ll be looking for “examples” and we can’t let them.
4 years of hoping and praying, 300 + Shots, 1 IUI, 4 IVF cycles and 1 truly amazing year later, my miracle embryo became my miracle son and the joy of my entire life. Happy Birthday Oreoluwatomi 😭. My heart is so full.
This!! We’re literally depending on videos and shares via social media to counter the LIES the Nigerian government has been spewing. Thank you to everyone who has shared and raised awareness.

This week has taught me how important ‘social media activism’ truly is, while some will say that a simple post or RT doesn’t do anything, that couldn’t be further from the truth, if not for ‘couch activism’ and spreading awareness, the world would have never witnessed history.
Don’t let any religious olodo shame you from assisted reproduction. IUI is not a sin, IVF is not proof that you don’t have faith. Everybody can go to hell with their comments. Drown out the noise and do what’s best for you. ❤️❤️

Anyway I’m grateful I don’t have an “oh wow” human. Last year I lost my wallet at a random gas station (left it on the hood of my car & drove off 🙈) . I called the station, they said no one turned in a wallet. Told Lamo.
Came home that night to find the wallet in my house. ⤵️
There’s absolutely nothing “cute” about Offset’s ambush on Cardi B. Interrupting and embarrassing her at work, is just typical of a selfish person and so utterly perfomative. Learn to keep your d*ck in your pants and leave her to live in peace. Asswipe.
I’ve learned and unlearned so much thanks to women on this app. Happy International Women’s Day to the wavemakers, the challengers, the noisemakers and everyone in-between!
Blown away by the response from the
@ISWISPodcast
. Really thought I was a “broken record” with this story. Praying for EASE for all the people in the wait. May the wait be short and the blessings abundant 🙏🏾.

Praying over my guy during this period. As a primary care physician, he has been getting all kinds of calls and of course everyone is coming in with their symptoms. Praying for strength and divine protection 😩
Earlier this week I had my second endometriosis surgery. This time on a new side & some other organs. I keep sharing because people still think it’s just a rough period but it’s so much more- it’s brutal. Early detection helps- read for more info
It’s
#infertilityawarenessweek
and as usual my heart is heavy. This week is [poetically] the same week I transferred my last embryo 3 years ago. After several years of infertility, multiple rounds of IVF, IUI and all the 3 letter acronyms out there, my world changed forever.
I wish I was even asked to be on this podcast.
@Jollz
literally just sent a text saying “See you tomorrow @ 10” and continued with her day. A terrorist.
We had so much fun with the gals all month long for women’s month.
Shoutout to our fantastic guests for giving us the best time and to you for sticking with us through it all 🥂
What was your favorite episode from this month ?
#Iswispodcast
Lamo had gone to the station, asked to look at their tapes-saw the moment I drove off, saw the person who found it (she had actually taken it to the cashier, but they didn’t collect)
He called the police station to see if she dropped it off there & she had 🙏🏾.
THAT is my guy 😭
20 years ago today, my daddy died. It was the day after his mother’s funeral.... all of a sudden.
My mother, a widow...all of a sudden.
His children, fatherless...all of a sudden.
This week has reinvigorated my mission to LIVE this life to the fullest. If you stumble on this tweet, take this as YOUR own reminder. Live your damn life!
Made it through the day without crying until now. As I sit here rocking my black son to sleep, my heart is so heavy. I cannot protect this sweet, funny boy from the world. God.
Grateful for this day in 2017. The day my light came. Infertility breaks you down.
It ages you. It weighs on every single aspect of your being. It is lasting trauma that reminds you every waking day that something isn’t working. It crushes your soul 😭.
Friends!! I am SO excited (and nervous) to introduce you to

My parents had a strange marriage. So, for me, I’ve always craved something else- something stable. 8 years in, I still believe in it and I pray this is the sentiment for both of us - forever. I’m so grateful and I try not to take it for granted.
People are actually mad on this twitter. First of all the thread doesn’t even read like a woman wrote it but that’s neither here nor there. I’m flabbergasted at how far someone will go to discredit a woman standing up for other women. This app makes me weak.
It was a rough transition but let me tell you. Olayinka Sijuwade found her feet, she worked non-stop to give us the life of our dreams and today, at age 60, let me just say, God is truly truly faithful and my mother is a 💫 .Happy birthday Ayinkulee, you are one in a generation!
Naaa my partner is a real one. I passed out at 3 pm yesterday and woke up 11 hours later to find us unpacked, food in fridge, house spotless.
Wish I was awake to watch him do it . Sigh
4 years ago when my mum found out I had “randomly” shared my infertility story on my blog (WHILE PREGNANT), the first thing she said was “ DOES IT GLORIFY GOD?!”
