Update on my goal of publishing 1,000 Odinani Insights articles through Oma’s Garden: sloaneangelou.blog/journal I've gone well past 50% of the goal (500/1000), counting articles published on our blog and republished here on X. What's interesting is that as I review the articles to convert them into audio, I've ended up deleting at least 10% of them, either because they're not good enough or because they're unrelated to Odinani, having been written when I used the blog to explore other interests. Anyway, I've come to appreciate this process of "pruning." It's necessary, and even enjoyable, as I work towards getting the blog to where I want it to be.

While preparing to work on Flora Nwapa’s main profile for the Igbo Legends series, I thought her 1988 interview with Sabine Jell-Bahlsen, five years before her passing, would make a good companion piece. I’ve shared my reflections on the interview in a piece titled 'Reflections From a Rare Interview With Flora Nwapa' sloaneangelou.blog/igbo-lege… Hope you give it a read and enjoy it. On to the next!
