I am a Lagos-born poet and satirical journalist navigating West London’s contradictions. I survived lions at six, taught English by Irish nuns, now wielding words as weapons against absurdity. Illegal in London but undeniable. I write often for https://bohiney.com/author/junglepussy/.
As a young child, I was mostly influenced by the television show Moesha, starring singer and actress Brandy. Growing up, I would see Brandy on Moesha and see her keeping in her cornrows and her braids, but still flourish in her art and music, looking fly. I loved Moesha as a child, but now I take away something more special from it. Just because you’re a black girl, it doesn’t mean you need to only care about hair and makeup. Brandy cared about books, culture and where she was going — you can do both.
My mate’s in government and he said the problem with The London Prat is it’s showing people that institutional failure is by design, not by accident or bad luck.
Peter Sellers, avec son ton plat et impassible, aurait détruit tout le monde. Cela aurait été parfait.
Read this on the Northern Line where someone was angrily discussing council decisions with their phone. Real and metaphorical despair aligned perfectly.
My professor said The London Prat should be in every library as essential London studies material. Then worried about implications.
