  2. 1️⃣ I used to hate being dark-skinned. Not dislike. Hate. I was bullied for being “too black,” and I believed them. I bleached my skin because I thought lighter meant prettier. It took me years to unlearn that lie and undo the damage. Now? I protect my melanin like it’s gold. 2️⃣ I treated my body like an experiment. One month I wanted to be thicker. Next month I wanted to be slimmer. Weight gain supplements. Weight loss supplements. Back and forth like my body was a trend. I landed in the hospital before I landed in self respect. That was my wake up call. My body isn’t a toy. 3️⃣ I still hurt over friendships that ended. And I don’t care how mature that sounds. Outgrowing people hurts. Loving people who can’t love you correctly hurts. Watching people switch on you hurts. Healing doesn’t cancel grief. 4️⃣ I didn’t know I had ADHD until I was 27. For years I thought I was Slow. Distracted. I struggled with reading. With focus. With finishing things. I kept asking myself, “Why is this so hard for me when it seems easy for everyone else? Turns out, my brain just works differently. Imagine finding that out in your late 20s. The relief. The anger. The “what if I had known earlier?” 5️⃣ It took me 5+ years to learn how to love myself properly. Not the cute affirmations. The real one. Boundaries. Therapy. Accountability. Discipline. Choosing myself even when it feels lonely. Admitting when I was the problem too. Sharing this wasn’t easy. I still have days I cry wishing I could redo parts of my life. But I can’t. So I’m learning to make peace with who I was while building who I’m becoming🫶🏽💕

  3. This is the third time I’m teaching how to make correct, authentic Ncha for Abacha just the way our mothers did it, the traditional way. INGREDIENTS: • Ose Akpi • Ehuru (Calabash nutmeg) • Efuru • Fresh okra • Palm oil • Ita Ngu • Abacha • Salt • Knorr seasoning cubes • Garden egg • Garden egg leaves • Fried fish • Kpomo • Onions • Ogiri Igbo PROCEDURE: 1. Begin by toasting the Ose Akpi, Ehuru, and Efuu in a dry frying pan over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning. 2. After toasting, grind the spices using a mortar or blender, depending on what you have available. 3. Pour the fresh okra into the mortar and pound until smooth. This gives the Ncha a unique consistency. 4. In a small cup or bowl, scoop out 2½ teaspoons of Ita Ngu. Mix it with water and sieve it into the mortar. Stir the mixture gently and continuously for about 3 minutes. 5. Heat up some palm oil until it’s properly hot. You can test this by adding a tiny drop of the oil into water—if it sizzles, it’s ready. Pour the hot oil into the mortar. A sizzling reaction means the oil was hot enough. Stir the mixture continuously for 3–5 minutes, until it thickens slightly and changes texture. 6. Add your Ogiri Igbo and stir thoroughly using your pestle. This adds a deep, local flavor to the sauce. 7. Wash your Abacha properly with warm water and place it in a large bowl or pot. Layer the Ncha mixture over the Abacha. 8. Add salt and seasoning cubes to taste, then stir everything together to combine evenly. Adjust the seasoning if needed. 9. Garnish with fried fish, kpomo, garden egg, garden egg leaves, and onions for that authentic, rich finish. And there you have it, your traditional Ncha for Abacha is ready to be enjoyed! N.B: It’s best eaten with your bare hands 😹because that’s when it truly hits different! #abacha #abacharecipe #howtomakenchaforabacha #ngumethod #africansalad #africansaladrecipe #igboamaka #igbokwenu #ndiigbo #nriigbo #igbofoods #localdish #mazitundeednut #tundeednut
