Last November, I was at the Ake Festival, and I met a lady who is a writer. I don’t remember her name now, but I recall her walking towards me and saying, “Hi Oriade, I know you!” We got talking and she mentioned that she’s one of the club members and also a writer. She’s a medical student (nursing, I think) and publishes her writings on Medium. I asked to read a few then she said she hasn’t written in a while because she’s not a really good writer. Her words got me thinking so we had a little chat there about her writing and writing, generally, before something else, probably food or Mmesoma, whisked me away.
Phew! This is the second newsletter I'm reading about how it's okay to not be great at something you're new to. Universe, is that you? 👀
This was very beautiful to read, thank you for inspiring me with more courage to keep at it and keep going. And your writing? >>>>>> It's truly very exceptional 🙌🏾

Thank you so much for sharing!
Trying new things is always scary for me, because “what if I don’t get it right”
I’m learning to leave my shell, do things, make mistakes, learn from them.
Btw, you’re such a beautiful writer (I’ve probably said this 1043 times). Your writings blow me awayyyy. I’m a big fan🥹❤️
Thank you 🥺
