@xuhsworld + many others have told us how surprised they are that Greens! Fonio Chips are their favorite 💚  We've also heard that Greens! remind some of a lighter, crispier, and zestier version of a fairly well known chip out there... rhymes with Pool Branch Burritos 😜 
.
"I ate a whole bag of the #foniochips @yolelefoods sent me last week all by myself. The green one is my favorite. The chips are made of several pantry items used in cooking #northernnigerianfood. I had never seen #fonio, #boabab, and #moringapowder used in this way before. So naturally, I wasn't sure what to think. I remember telling @chefpierrethiam that the reason I was at the #TheFonioCookbook launch was that I was sure the book would push me to think outside the box. Well, it has. I’ve made several meals since then but, I certainly didn't think of a chip! I love greens. It’s citrusy, nutty, crunchy, not too salty, and sturdy. It scooped up my #cincodemayo salsa well. I certainly didn't beat myself up for eating this bag of chips! Plus, I knew it was good for me. The packaging is so pretty too. I’m glad you guys shared this with me."

It’s sickle cell awareness month and yesterday I had an interview for Episode 3 of Unheard with @thegrio. Looking forward to sharing this with you when the episode drops. I spoke about my life with sickle cell. Great working with you @__jazzmarie and videographer @foryoufromtemp. It was fun. I also had them taste my Patan Doya, yam pottage. If you know me you know how much I love every kind of yam.

Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims. 🦋
Yesterday: Challenging. Assignments, then off to the hospital for an MRA, then back home for the chores of cleaning and head to toe disinfection phase of the outing, for a black girl with natural hair, it’s the whole shabang every time you step out. Even if the hair was covered, don't take chances, #COVID takes lots of chances. More assignments, which was also lunch. Then back to more assignments that also served as dinner. 🦋
Then my body broke down, leg pain, back pain, and lack of sleep so #instagram for distraction until meds kick in, pain comes down, and I sleep. It happens when I completely ignore #thespoontheory or #spoontheory. As soon as I get a rush of energy, I feel I’m a #superwoman. Don’t be me! People with #chronicillness such as #sicklecell have fewer spoons to use per day metaphorically speaking, than the average person. #sicklecellwarrior 🦋
I can’t say my body doesn’t take a beating. I CAN say it lacks almost nothing in terms of nutrition and great food. I’m beyond grateful for this and everyone that makes this possible for me, especially during #Ramadan. I already hear you asking, NO, I don’t fast, I cannot fast with my complications. We, me, when I can, but mainly Mama and Baba in Nigeria, feed people every day. They do so for my brother Nasir and I, for many Ramadans since we couldn’t fast anymore. They do this as much as possible throughout the year for others too. I’m eternally grateful; I am your daughter. Do you know how much you rubbed off on me? A LOT! Doing what you can, whenever you can Ramadan or not just makes sense.
🦋
Feeding people is my life; I’m my parent's daughter. I feel there’s a reason I was lead in this direction; the universe did this. Trust that life is like a block of LEGOs, unbreakable. Overall, they just keep stacking up until it comes into focus. Then it seemingly falls apart, and then it's back together again, and falls apart again and comes back together. Then one day, it becomes solid, and the past makes sense again. Suddenly, Perspective! I was lead here for a reason; you can bet your tastebuds I’m not going to waste it. 🦋
What do you think your purpose is? 
Love,
Zuhra
