REVIEWS OF THE WEEK!

Books I’ve read so far in 2022!

Friend me on Goodreads here to follow my more up to date reading journey for the year!

___

49. You’ll Be the Death of Me by Karen M. McManus--⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The thing that got me about this one was that twist at the end! Ooph.

I enjoyed the mystery of this one, even if it wasn’t my absolute favourite book by this author. I’m curious to see what she creates next because these thrillers are always very interesting. I wasn’t expecting it to be a one day type of story, but it definitely helped with the pacing! I think there are some seriously despicable people in here, and one of the MCs got off too lightly. But that’s just me. If you like YA thrillers with a bit of a darker side to them, but are quick reads, then you might like this one!

50. Blue Flag Vol. 6 by Kaito--⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Every time I find my way back to this manga, I always feel so weary before I even read it because I know it’s going to put my emotions to the test. The ending of this volume is beautifully heartbreaking. The artwork, as always, doesn’t miss. This manga has seriously one of the most beautiful art I’ve ever seen in my history with manga. The way the scenes are set, the side profiles of the characters, the little instances where more realism comes in—perfection. I’m not even going to comment on the covers because we all know they’re gorgeous. Anyway, I’m going to move onto the next volume. I feel like I’m going to need to strengthen my heart a little bit.

51. Big Biker by Cassie Mint--⭐️⭐️

2 stars because I like to sometimes watch train-wrecks reach the end of the train tracks. Listen, this is becoming a theme. I get lured in by the first book I read by a particular author in this sub-genre of romance (novella daddy issues bigger guys smut), and then get let down by the next book I read. I’m contemplating picking up the third book in this series anyway, but I don’t know if it’ll be another Husky situation. We will see, the future is vast and unknown. In the meantime, if you enjoy creepy allusions to a woman being the little girl of a big and yummy biker daddy, then you might like this one. But my brain could not get past the fact that this woman is replacing her controlling and abusive father for this man she is obsessed with 24 hours later. Her father is trash. This love interest sounds 🔥 but in the words of the great Ana, “No dick is that good”, regardless of how much you want out. I’ve come to the conclusion that it isn’t that these books are short, because short and sweet and sexy are 👌🏽, but it’s the transference and hyper (and creepy) sexualization of daddy issues onto an Insta-love love interest. Please, do NOT get me wrong here—I like books with daddy stuff, as long as they’re done in a not-so-creepy way. This man literally carries her off in front of her father like she’s an eight year old. I’m not talking bridal carry, I’m talking legs around his hips, eyes facing the retreating face of her horrible father. Sigh. Sorry, my rant is long and it’s late. Good night. …watch me pick up the next book at some point. I’m a masochist, I guess? But also, see train-wreck comment above.

52. Blue Flag Vol. 7 by Kaito--⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tomaaaaaa. I just want to give him the biggest hug imaginable. There were some super heavy, but important talks in this volume and I'm scared to give anything away. Just know the some of the conversations may be triggering (TWs: Talks of SA, Homophobia, grief, and depression.) And like I said in my last review, the artwork continues to be stunning, especially when adding to the emotional turmoil of the characters. I also agree with two of the characters in this and want to drop kick the other two ✌🏽 Onto the final volume, alas.

___

53. Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn--⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you to the publisher for sending me a copy! This did not affect my review in any way. Yinka's story is one that was interesting, a little sad, and very eye-opening. I empathized with Yinka because I have also faced those "when will you get married" and "when will you have kids?" familial questions and pressure. I appreciated the mention of wanting to meet someone organically, and then just striving to find that person. I also really enjoyed getting to know her family (the powerful women in her family in particular), and the Nigerian culture that we see both in the story and on the book's gorgeous cover. I especially enjoyed the mention of Yoruba, since it's a brief part of my Cuban culture because of the Orishas. All of that being said, there were a few things that definitely brought the rating down for me. First of all, I believe this book is in the wrong genre. If I were to be extreme about it, I would categorize this as a Christian Fiction novel. Prayer circles, all of the allusions to God (including the final sentence being about how humorous God must be--or something along those lines), the choice to be abstinent until marriage, the choice to not drink because of her religion (and then showing the dangers of drinking by showcasing a character acting badly), and the final piece, which was the icing on the cake for me, was showing an atheist suddenly changing their mind to "curious" because of one visit to a church. And listen, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, but as a person who isn't a fan of being preached at in my books, I would have liked to have been warned. Another thing that makes me think this isn't a "rom-com" is because of all of the situations that Yinka suffers and grows from. I don't even think this is purely a romance book--maybe more of a self-love kind of book? Yes, there are men that she dates and tries to connect with, but ultimately, at the end of the day, the story is mainly about Yinka's self-acceptance and personal growth. Much like other authors who have written books that on the surface have been marketed as rom-coms but have been placed in fiction (BEACH READ ring any bells?), I think Yinka should have been a literary fiction book. The story isn't perfect, but if I had gone into it not expecting a rom-com, or even just a romance novel, I might have appreciated it more. Also, poor Yinka with the family who refuses to empathize with her and instead sides with the bully. My frustration levels were HIGH. Phew, alright. I've been waiting to write this review for over a week and I'm grateful that my thoughts are written down. Just to be clear: I enjoyed Yinka for what it was, not for what it was marketed as. I think this was a wonderful novel of self-discovery and love, especially from the perspective of a beautiful dark skinned black woman. I do think you should read it to get your own opinion from it, but go in with an open mind and the thought that it might not be exactly what you were expecting.

54. Blue Flag Vol. 8 by Kaito--⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Five million stars!!!!! Omg that ending! That character development! That artwork! This is a masterpiece and other than one other series that will forever hold a place in my heart, this is definitely up there as a favourite. I’m definitely going to have to reread this in the future. I SCREAMED when I finished that last chapter. This was soooo good. And yes, it’s 2 in the morning because I couldn’t stop reading. Omg this series 😭😭😩 I’m genuinely on such a high right now—I loved this story so much!!!!!

Have you read any of these? Would you recommend them?

Happy reading!

Shane’s story

 This is Brixton filmmaker Shane Duncan has just released a short documentary about Peckham, which looks at how the area is changing. He discusses what inspired him to make the film and his plans for the future

Words Emma Finamore

Photo Lima Charlie  

Shane Duncan is reflecting on a poignant, timely documentary he has just made about Peckham, and how it is changing. “I always knew documentary films or narrative films – anything of value – is what I wanted to do,” he says.

The 25-year-old filmmaker released This is Peckham earlier this summer. It’s the second in a series of three short documentaries exploring the impact of change, regeneration and gentrification on south London communities. The first, released in early 2018, focused on Brixton; and the third, currently in planning, will look at Croydon.

Growing up in Loughborough Junction and with an auntie in Peckham, Shane found himself at a crossroads between Brixton, Camberwell and Peckham, and spent a lot of time here as a child. After making music videos for a while, he decided to shift the focus of his work and make a film about Brixton.

“I knew I wanted to make a film about the area,” he says. “I always knew I wanted to make documentary films but it needed to be something important to the area. It was a matter of finding a subject.

“Looking at articles about Brixton, the most prominent thing that came across was the subject of change, and I started to realise a lot of things I was blind to. Why places in Brixton are disappearing.

“I remember looking through ‘before and after’ photos and seeing that places I recognised from growing up, where my mum used to take me when I was small – butchers, restaurants, local shops – had been replaced by other things.” 

He spoke to locals of all ages and backgrounds – friends, creatives, even Alex Wheatle MBE, an award-winning British novelist of Jamaican heritage often writing about Brixton life, who was imprisoned after the 1981 Brixton riots.

The resulting film was screened on both national and local websites, like GRM Daily and Brixton Buzz. It explored the complex issue of change in the area, and spurred Shane on to his next project: This is Peckham.

The film begins with sweeping aerial shots of the library and Peckham Square, of trains running through Peckham Rye Station and of Peckham rooftops.

Blogger and radio DJ Yinka Bokinni, who appears in the film, says of Peckham: “It’s good times and bad times, my worst and my best memories,” before discussing gang-related violence in the area (both the reality and perception from outside Peckham).

She also talks about how funding could be channelled into established local businesses (for example, the hairdressers on Rye Lane) and youth services. “We need to start thinking a lot more,” she explains, on where resources could be directed.

“When I see bits of history being demolished and just eradicated to make way for ugly new buildings that contain Sainsbury’s and Gymbox and you know, like all these massive huge companies that turn over millions of pounds, that’s when it becomes upsetting.”  

Another interviewee is Clement Ogbonnaya, owner of the Prince of Peckham pub on Clayton Road. Growing up in the area, he remembers how many people used to be ashamed or embarrassed to say they were from here.  

“Now, It’s literally just spun on a sixpence,” he says. “Now, when people say ‘I’m from Peckham’, they say it with such gusto, such impact.”

Clement describes himself as being pro-regeneration, but adds: “I just think gentrification isn’t done responsibly – as responsibly as it should be done.”

Speaking of the local community, he says: “I genuinely think the community are all together. I will say to anyone coming from out of town into Peckham – you will never find a more integrated, multicultural community.”

He adds: “People like myself and Nicholas [Okwulu] from PemPeople, it’s sort of our social responsibility to pass the information we gather and what we know on to other business owners. Change is happening. How do we use that inevitable force to our advantage?”

Elsewhere in the film, Nick Kidd, a young bartender who has recently moved here from Yorkshire talks about the warmth of Peckham people. “I feel at home for somewhere that isn’t my home,” he says.

Laila St Vie, a local student who is also interviewed in the film says tentatively: “It’s changing in a good way, but I feel like the more it changes, the more it might exclude communities that were there before.”

Kenny Imafidon – a prominent social entrepreneur and activist from Peckham – talks about how longstanding businesses can be pushed out by gentrification. “It must be difficult for a lot of businesses who have had a long history in terms of having their shops for example in Peckham.

“With the gentrification a lot of them I know will be forced to move somewhere else, because obviously there’s new businesses that are happy to be here and pay more to actually be in Peckham. I know that causes a friction and a tension in the community, where a lot of people who have been here a long time now kind of have to step aside.”

But he adds: “In the next five years I feel Peckham will be different, but I don’t think much will really change. There will be nicer houses, the high street might look a bit different, but at the same time I don’t think the gentrification that took place in places like Brixton is going to happen in Peckham. I don’t think it’s going to get that far.”

Kenny also talks about how vital it is that local people are involved in the process of regeneration: “For me, it’s important that they have a say.”

Nicholas Okwulu – founder of social enterprise PemPeople and TenPoint5ive gallery, a space for community art, media, and fashion – also features in the film, as does Kwabena Amponsa, community manager at Peckham Levels, who discusses the social responsibilities of taking over a large space in the area.

Ibrahim Kamara – co-founder and editor-in-chief at Guap Magazine – is there too, talking about how the car park that now houses Peckham Levels could have just been knocked down and turned into flats, and how he’s glad instead that it is supporting local people and young creative businesses.

Shane says that making the documentary was a personal experience – “I feel really invested in this one” – and that, in his mind, his three films about change fit into clear categories.

“The Brixton film is saying, ‘This is what went wrong’,” he explains. “Peckham is saying, ‘This is what can go right,’ and the Croydon film will be asking, ‘What do you want to happen?’”  

Shane explains that he didn’t really have any views on gentrification and change before making the Brixton and Peckham films, but that now he tends to agree with Clement of Prince of Peckham – that it is inevitable and locals should make it work for them (and that those in positions of authority should help this).

He also thinks the atmosphere and community galvanisation in Peckham means that change has been (and will continue to be) more positive than in places like Brixton and Hackney.

“When I was putting the film together I realised that it’s a completely different area to Brixton, completely different,” he says. “The way the community are more intertwined with each other; it’s so close knit.

“What happened in Brixton could technically never happen here. Once you get to the root of it and talk to people you realise how different it is. People have seen what can go wrong elsewhere, but if you take care and nurture it, change can go the right way.

“Croydon is next – it’s such a strange place, people say you need a passport just to get there. And I have no idea where it [his film] is going to go. I have to follow the story.”

Shane is interested in how the regeneration process has sort of repeatedly stopped and started in Croydon, and that this – as well as its near and far proximity to London –makes it particularly fascinating.  

He wants to speak to people like local blogger and influencer Sarah Akwisombe, Charles Holgate – an MC and Rinse FM rep – as well as political figures such as local MPs.

As well as documentaries such as Citizen Jane: Battle for the City, which looked at New York City campaigner and activist Jane Jacobs, Shane cites wildlife documentaries as his biggest creative influences when making films.

“That’s all I’ve ever known,” he says, referencing David Attenborough documentaries in particular. “It’s about finding a story in a space, and filming what’s going on, filming people in their ‘natural habitats’.”

After completing his Croydon film later this year – and with it, the trio of south London films – he plans to head to locations in the north of England to make more documentaries, focusing on stories that are important and relevant to those specific places.  

Looking further ahead, Shane also plans to head back to Brixton, Peckham and Croydon to make longer, more detailed pieces with more complex narratives.

“I want to go more in-depth, maybe looking at a family or something,” he explains, “looking at how changes in each area have affected each member of the family. I want to do all of this, and I know if I don’t do it then someone else will. But there’s only so much one camera can do.”

That’s one camera that will be pretty busy over the coming months and years, helping Shane tell the important stories of places and their people.

The Physically Challenged in the Nigerian Entertainment Industry

Late Ray Charles had lost his sight at age seven and his younger brother, couple of years earlier. The entire world he was once saw and basked in its beauty and serenity had become dark and misty. In the face of hardship and seemingly insurmountable mountains as he travelled wearily on life's path, he found solace in music which proved to be an escape route that late Ray Charles walked upon triumphantly into stardom. Such was the life of this great artiste(though blind), who played the piano with dexterity that "RAY" a biopic movie premiered in 2004 starring Jamie Foxx and directed by Taylor Hackford. Our parents would certainly have an excited feeling, reliving hit songs such as for instance "I got a lady", "Georgia", "Hit the Road Jack", amongst others and with twelve Grammy awards and others along with ground breaking achievements recorded in his profile, Ray Charles who passed on to glory on June 10, 2004 was truly a legend.

"This track is so delicious, I go by the way of Cobilicious" was the intro of the rap lyrics Cobhams Asuquo reeled out in Dekunle Fuji's successful track "No Lele", though many Nigerians were unaware of his'nil vision state '. His popularity soared amongst the populace when he performed the beautiful thought provoking chorus in the song "Lagi Mo" (The Roof Top MCs) which saw the song hitting the main spot on some Nigerian chart shows. He won the HIP Hop world Awards 2007 for the "producer of the entire year category", increasing the number of statuettes he'd already received. He is presently among the highly sought after producers in the music industry, making guest appearances on TV programmes and reality show (Project Fame West Africa, season 1) along with the solicitation for his services which extends to Corporate bodies, banks (Sky bank's advert with the Akuna matata song)

The icy hands of death almost took away Yinka Ayefele in 1999 when he was associated with an auto crash. The crash affected his spinal chord and sentenced him alive on a wheel chair. Through the fiery trials and the stop of the pity partying, he was bold enough to place the ordeal behind him, and bursting forth like water from a stone to quench our thirst with refreshing exciting gospel flavour. Fame, fortune, local and international awards have willingly found their way into his life.

The latest nigerian music terrain can boast of this duo who have succeeded on its stage, but can the exact same be said of the movie industry. We've seen physically challenged roles (visually impaired/ lame) being performed by able bodied thespians to the very best of their abilities, but wouldn't it be a surprise to an incredible number of movie viewers for medically proven, physically challenged visitors to naturally perform such roles assigned with their able bodied counterparts. Who says there are no talented ones one of them whose acting skills can't be brushed up, in the end its not all A-list thespian studied theatre arts or attended schools that specialized in harnessing such talents.

There are certainly a large amount of talented physically challenged people on the market rotting away mainly because no you have dared to give them a chance. After all of the scripts can be changed into Braille letters in order for them to read, at the very least we all know their sense of hearing is hyper functional than that of the sight seeing fellow. Quite several TV Reality shows have hit the screens these past couple of years (dominantly in the Entertainment sector) with new ones emerging every day, such as for instance Gulder Ultimate search, AMBO, Next movie star, The Intern, Maltina Family dance all, Star Quest, Football with Fash, The Twelve Ambassadors, Big Brother Nigeria, Apprentice Africa, Idols West Africa, Nokia First Chance, Project Fame West Africa.

No reality TV show has been created for the physically challenged probably borne out of concern with not securing sponsors (who are centered on making returns due to their investments), or concern with outright rejection by the teeming viewers. Who says a reality show that the physically challenged can function in can't be conceived and birthed, its about ingenuity and who will tell whether such a reality show can become the very best among the lot, nothing is impossible!

No-one chooses to be born with an impairment, a microscopic percentage makes an impression down on plant earth with disabilities, while a dominant proportion can be attributed to'the carelessness of man, accidents and in some instances'African remote controlled incidents. Stevie wonder and late Ray Charles were given opportunities to clinch the tickets to stardom, which they appreciatively did, mainly because someone believed in them and created opportunities in order for them to show the planet what they had. Let's help the physically challenged live their dreams in Nigeria, for there's with no iota of doubt, ability in disability !.
