I'm an Igbo girl who was born in Russia and lived in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. My [Igbo] parents probably weren't intentionally trying to give me some diversity.

I have been especially able to flex my sleeping muscles since Yeere came because then I could stay awake without disturbing or being disturbed by Ada Read More
