When she reminded all of us that she was the real life of the party in ‘Wedding Party’
Everyone else is still learning work. No Aunty Sola? No party.
When she gives her perfect side eye that reminds you of everytime you got in trouble with your mum.
Once she makes this face, you already know your own is finished.
At Owambes, she always come through with her squad ready to slay.
Because friends who slay together, stay together.
She can’t step out into town with her husband if they aren’t wearing and co.
Even the shoes have to match.
When she sends you pictures of her outfit and you don’t compliment her properly.
It’s like you are blind.
When you always forget she is in her 50s because she still looks like this.
She’s the definition of black don’t crack.
She’s super protective of her children and gets paranoid if any small thing should happen.
If you are even ten minutes late she’ll leave ten missed calls on your phone because as far as she’s concerned ritualists have kidnapped you.
When she reminds us that no matter how fashionable we think we are she’ll still kill us with her slay.
Could your fave ever?
She always has sage advice for you.
The kind of advice that’ll help you avoid disgrace.
She has a contagious laugh that always makes you smile.
When she laughs you just have to laugh.
Her makeup game is even more on point than yours.
You are there still struggling with how to do winged eyeliner.
Whether she’s acting or not she’s always dramatic af.
And we love it.
She always owns the dance floor
Kaffy who?
And even though she’s the sweetest person she never let’s you forget who is boss.
She’s the king of all boys and girls.

Today’s #ZikokoWhatSheSaid subject is Laura, a 23-year-old Kenyan woman. She talks about moving to a new town at 16, her rocky relationship with her sister, respecting her more after their mum dies, struggling with depression and finally accepting that grief is an unending cycle.
In this letter #ToHER, Stephanie wrote a letter to herself. She wants this to be something she reads on the days she forgets how far she’s come with loving herself again.
Today’s subject on #Zikokowhatshesaid is @fehinlean, a 30-year-old Nigerian woman. She talks about her childhood love for motorcycles, why she waited until she was 28 to ride one and handling the stares when people realise she isn’t a man, on her biking trips across the country.
For HERtitude, the Zikoko festival for hotties, we want the girlies showing up and out. So our resident hot girl, Deola, has given us 10 hot fits you can wear to shake your ass on our yacht.
