'When I consider my life and everything I’ve been through, I’m encouraged by the rebellious act of survival'

A little intro to me for my new subscribers - hello you!

Ok so what do we call you? You can call me Tola.

But is that your actual name? No, not quite, I was given the name Omotola at birth but had it shortened for the Western palate.

That’s a bit deep! Yeah, but I don’t mind! Tola is easier to say and shortened this way it means “wealth” so when people say my name they’re just ushering money my way.

Ah, so what…
