A Note From Koya - This blog is my offering — a space to explore the quiet and complicated moments of being a Black African woman in a world that often wants us to edit ourselves. I write to unpack, to question, to heal, and to connect — through stories that are sometimes messy, sometimes clear, but always honest. Here, you’ll find reflection, resistance, and realness. I’m not writing to be perfect. I’m writing to be present — with myself and with you. Thank you for reading.
