I Became Colonialism’s Perfect Product — Now I’m Reclaiming Yorùbá in 30 Days

2026 is the year we stop being spectators in our own heritage.
Five cultural experiments. Each reclaiming what they tried to erase.
Language. Food. Film. Art. Literature.

Each month in 2026, I am reclaiming one piece of what we almost lost.

I am documenting everything.
Watch me try. Join me if you want.
Or just witness what happens when an African millennial finally stops running from her own heritage.

Don’t judge me.
I am already judging myself.
