MUSINGS: LoveFola
I discovered Folasade during my early Myspace days and I always loved her posts. Back then I viewed her as a free-spirited model like individual who represented her Nigerian roots to the core. I loved EVERYTHING about her […even though I didn’t know her in real life]. She’s still the same free-spirited person but now she’s delving further into her talents and creating beautiful graphic design work. Check out some of my favorites below:

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter then you know that I had the opportunity to travel home to my native country Nigeria [West Africa] for 6 weeks. This trip was very important to me because I hadn’t been to Nigeria in a little over 8 years and for the first time, I was traveling internationally; all by myself [big girl status]. I was very excited to be around family members that I had not physically seen in a long time, eat local food that I was missing out on and not to mention, escape the harsh winters of Ohio to enjoy endless sunny skies.
One of the highlights of my trip was riding the danfo bus [pictured above] for the very first time. For those of you that are not aware of this bus or Lagos traffic at all, just know that I got real familiar with my seat buddy before I got to my desired stop.
All in all, my trip was amazing & I can say that I have fallen in love with my country all over again. NIGERIA, I love you & I’ll be seeing again you soon.
