One of my FAVORITE issues of @essence from 2017 - The #Woke100 Issue! #WednesdayWisdom #WomanCrushWednesday (at Miami Lakes, Florida)

Just woke up to this SUNSHINE created by the @YNaija team! Purpose is truly an incredible alarm clock! Thanks for finding me worthy to be on the #Woke100 list. Duly Appreciated. Thy MARKET shalt never run down! The last line on my description cracked me up! • • 76. Denrele Edun. To understand just how influential DENRELE EDUN has become to a generation of young Nigerian millennials challenging all the conventions reinforced by the generation that came before them, you would have to look at the breakthroughs he has had in his professional life. In a country obsessed with the idea of superficial propriety and keen on enforcing limiting restrictive gender-based expectations, Edun simply chose to be himself. After a decade on television as a child star, straight-jacketed into a mold, Derenle Edun publicly rejected all the accepted gender norms necessary to succeed on television and created his own agendered persona, revolutionary then and still revolutionary now. Edun’s refusal to be limited by the expectations of others and the success he has gained in spite of our religious and cultural prejudices has made him a spokesperson for the young, questioning and disenfranchised. It wasn’t a role he wanted, but it is one he has taken on with as much unshakeable conviction as he does with everything else. He is problematic sometimes, but all the people who have changed the world usually are.

It feels like my 🎂 when I got my issue on my tablet! I was so proud that I showed it in my class to show how the students' favorite magazines can look on their tablet. #teacherlife #woketeacher @Regrann from @vanessa_kdeluca - Taking a moment on #womencrushwednesday to celebrate our 12 May @essence cover queens as well as the 88 more inside the issue, on newsstands this Friday. #woke100 #staywoke #LboogiePopWorld
