I’m immeasurably more proud of this work than I can say in a caption, and have felt so encouraged by your (im)patience & trust since I first told you its name. Thank you so much for always putting your $ where your love is when it comes to me. I count it the highest honor to once again be able to get my best work into your hands! 😭💛

Proud to be featured in Dazed Magazine’s Autumn 2024 #TheImpossibleIssue, out now. Shoutout to Ezra Olaoya, who mapped out such a thoughtful, rounded conversation, and wrote about my past and present work with great beauty. We talked stories, freedom, music, art, culture, God, and the future. Shoutout, also, to Adaeze Okaro whose eye is matchless and magical. Can’t think of anyone better to have worked on this with. Get into her work!

PS: there are a few exciting soft launches in these pages. Proceed with. . . intention. Ha!

Yesterday, a starfilled room of hundredssss erupted in applause as my words were read by THE @naomi at @victoriassecret’s World Tour launch; and then introduced by gigihadid.

‘Naomi’s Monologue’ is about acquiring a walk, worldmaking with bonechilling audacity and talking directly to one’s creator without fear. Drawing on Naomi’s iconic walk and a conversation we had, I wrote it from a deeply personal place, tracing my own journey with the God of my head as a maker in my own right, moving through this world.

Since we started work on this project about a year ago, it has flown me to Lagos, Abuja, Barcelona, New York.

Today I feel like: my work is inevitable. & so am I.

I want to say a public & massive THANK YOU to @naomi again for trusting me completely throughout this process and never doubting or questioning the structure of what I built. And then for performing the piece with pure power. I’m truly truly honored. What an icon; what a time. There’s more to say & see about this, but that’s for later.

Thank you to @victoriassecret & @raulmartinez1024 for… well, for all of it.

Everything has changed… again.
Thank you to every single person celebrating this moment loudly & proudly with me. I see everything & I’ll never forget. To my love, for holding me down through the process & bringing me flowers. To my closest people for gathering me together. To everyone I worked with.

Finally, to my incredible cohort: the entire VS20 team, I remain entranced by your brilliance. Every door stays open from here on out.

Let’s fucking go!

Felt a bit askew in my body earlier this morning. We went outside. Took two walks. Saw the sun, some snails on the wall, a moth at rest, yellow butterflies and pretty flowers; hugged a tree too, put my toes in the grass. It helped. Felt good to remember that there are simple beauties everywhere, everyday. Wanted to share some of that with you ❤️ by @eloosunde
