A writer's haven

Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards....... I had written this post for a while now. I just had it sitting in draft mode until I saw Joke Silva's post on not having a conventional face and being passed on for some roles in the Nigerian acting world.  Oh boy, I nearly fell off my chair. Unconventional face? What was that? This was a woman I had placed on the same pedestal as Oprah Winfrey in the corner of my mind - a strong, black influential woman. No kidding here! If you want to read all of her interview with Genevieve Magazine, I'd advise you get a copy of the Magazine. A digital copy is available for download. It's only 800 naira! An equivalent of almost 3 dollars or a few pounds depending on what part of the world you happen to be at. "Mrs Betty Irabor, you gotta pay me for this free advert I'm doing oo". Lol... &
