    When Black Children Are Macheted to Death: Why Are We Silent?

    Imagine: babies, toddlers, entire families hacked to pieces with machetes. Not in a war zone televised by drones, but in villages in Nigeria’s so-called “Middle Belt,” Southern Kaduna, southern Plateau, and other contested zones.

    Cinema for One—A Love Letter to My Own Company

    Monday night, 8:45 p.m. The foyer smells of nacho cheese and over-priced popcorn, and I’m wielding a ticket for a single seat in Row G seat 1.
