Rona has forced me to reckon with an insecurity that I have lived with for years; a debilitating fear of change." Read the full post.

Hotel booking platform Hotels.ng has partnered with hotels to create isolation centres across Nigeria, an added buffer for the country’s limited quarantine facilities." |
