A year ago last month, I performed two poems at the Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Dream Count Homecoming Tour in Lagos, organised by Narrative Landscape Press, her Nigerian publisher. 

I tell you, it was unforgettable. I went up to the stage barefoot, as I often do, briefly introduced the poems, then launched into them, with a short pause for the audience to clap after the first poem. 

Chimamanda called the second poem, "A Man Looks at Me", a feminist poem, said she liked it. <insert red cheeks from blushing too much> 

Also, the audience's responses during the performance and all the feedback afterwards were a performer's dream. 

Swipe swipe swipe for the videos and photos, and you will see the man who looks at me with desire in his eyes. 🤭 

Huge shout out and many many maaanyyyyy thanks to my directors at Narrative Landscape Press for the opportunity.
