I'm taking it all the way back today. I remember in the early 200s when the reigning thing was going into random chat rooms and starting conversations with strangers whose usernames and avatars were attractive enough.

And even if you have read about her before, today is Friday, and everyone needs a laugh, so read on. I remembered Tolu because I and a friend were discussing office etiquettes for Africans, and Read More
