I was jealous. My friend, Benta, told me, “My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. I don’t want a gift. I just want you to save Kshs.200,000 for an international trip.” (That’s around $2,000). All the while, I had depleted all my savings and had about $20 to my name. Red cheek …

Who in their right mind wakes up at 4 a.m. for a book club? Well, apparently, I do—at least, I did this one time. Detention’s second session took place on Monday, January 13th, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. CST. But for me, living in a time zone nine hours ahead, that meant a 4:00 a.m. wake-up …

Author of Mr. Splitfoot does a lot of work on that cover. Samantha Hunt’s branding is better than yours. I know this is true because her work was recommended to me by Allison Barrett. (And she’s never told me to read any of your work. 🙀) After reading this excellent collection of female-centered short stories, …

I’ve recently volunteered to help administrate Story Luck’s Slacker’s Mastermind and wanted to learn more about masterminds in general. I’ve discovered masterminds are powerful communities where people come together to share knowledge, challenge each other, and grow. They attract a wide range …

We’re all good with detention’s bad rap. It’s school after school, worse than school itself. Study hall for those who didn’t study in the first place, which is either the aptest or the least apt punishment, depending on your sense of irony. I’m starting up a book club with my super nerd friends, Daniel Andrew …
