Back in the day, masquerades weren’t just “dancers in costumes.” In Igbo land, they carried serious weight—spiritual, cultural, even political. A masquerade could walk into a village square and silence grown men. They weren’t entertainers; they were authority figures, believed to embody ancestral spirits. Imagine drums beating, dust rising, and everyone clearing the road not because it was a vibe, but because “mmụọ” had arrived.

For our generation, masquerades spark more curiosity than fear. They’ve become cultural content, part of the big story of “who we are.” The question is, have we lost something in the shift? Or are masquerades simply evolving with us, from the village square to the global stage?

The Woman Who Spent the First 6 Months of Her Life in Jail

Miriam Makeba, the legendary "Mama Africa," wasn't born with a silver spoon. She was born into a world that wanted to silence her. At just 18 days old, her mother was arrested for selling homemade beer, and because her family couldn't afford the fine, baby Miriam spent her first six months of life in jail.

But from that profound injustice came a voice that would change the world.

She was just a girl from the black township of Prospect, who sang in a choir and worked as a nanny to survive. But she had a gift—a powerful, raw talent that transcended every obstacle. She faced poverty, a difficult marriage, and a battle with cancer, yet she kept singing.

This isn't just the story of a singer; it's a testament to the human spirit's ability to rise from the ashes. Miriam Makeba's journey from a prison cell to a global stage, where she sang for kings and queens, is proof that a single voice, no matter how small it starts, can become a force of nature.

Her life was a song of defiance, resilience, and hope.

If her story inspires you, share it to remind someone that their past doesn't define their future. Let's make her legacy unforgettable.

What our grandfathers called beauty may shock you today
In many parts of our continent, beauty didn’t look like the slim, size-zero models you see on Instagram today. Back then, when a woman was fleesshy, it was a compliment to her husband.

It showed she was well fed, well cared for, and living a life of comfort. A “fleesshy wife” was seen as a badge of honor - proof that the man was doing well. Our fathers even boasted about it in the village square.

Fast-forward to today, and the world celebrates abs, flat stomachs, and the “slim-fit”. It makes you wonder: who changed the definition of beauty for us?

Maybe beauty has never been one-size-fits-all. Maybe every era just finds its own standard.

And think of it, if our African fathers woke up in 2025, would they still recognize today’s idea of beauty?
