One of the most important books we’ve been working on at @OuidaBooks is a memoir written by Mrs Remilekun Taylor Kuti, wife of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. It was like breaking open a time capsule to find flourishes of love, hope, and fragments of a broken heart.

Tunde Onokoya @Tunde_OD was with us at the #Akefest22, where he shared his 'Chess in the Slum' story. Today, we are rooting for him as he attempts to break the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon. Go Tunde, go!!

Our goal is to promote African illustrators. That’s why we’ll be mentoring 16 students from Nigeria and I believe it’s the beginning of something that will revolutionize children’s publishing throughout the entire country @lolashoneyin @OuidaBooks #BCBF24
