"Putting my foot in" a meal that I cooked myself shows I'm feeling myself: my creativity, ingenuity, style, + skill, often in the face of changing resources.
Pride + joy suffuses me for myself+ my people.

"Water should be free!"
She opened up about the material realities of funding + distributing African films.
+importance of recentering Black, African-descended folks in African stories.
