My new post: “After Cornell: if you’re a boy or man who wants to talk to that guy friend about his abuse.” If of interest, please share. www.musaokwonga.com/takes/after-...

If a girl or woman tells you that a boy or man in your circle of friends has abused them, then here are some suggestions as to how you can talk to that boy or man. First, you can set a time and a place to talk to him. Don’t let him set it, because he’s used to having control. If you’re worried he’ll get violent with you, do it over the phone. If you’re worried he’ll try to sit down with you and charm you round to “his side of the story”, do it over the phone. Next, work out how long you want the conversation to be. Short is better - fifteen or twenty minutes is plenty enough. That will help you to keep your composure while he loses his.

In 1991, a trio of unheralded high schoolers - two of them younger than Cavan Sullivan is today - appeared for the USMNT. Two of them would never do so again. Their story has been lost to time. I spoke to all three of them, on @us.theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

‘I’m pretty sure I didn’t imagine it’: the little-known trio of high schoolers who made USMNT history

The idea of 16-year-olds like Cavan Sullivan playing for the US senior team was once unfathomable – until three teenagers appeared in a 1991 friendly

There are left and right turn only lanes at Branch Ave and Southern Ave on the DC/MD border. It’s ridiculous how often drivers use the right to cut and squeeze in front of other cars. If you regularly do things like this: fuck you. That shit’s dangerous and leads to extra traffic cam surveillance.

One of the interesting parts about applying for media credentials is when the reviewer is asking for follower counts as if you can't just buy 10k in Instagram followers for $150. I don't plan on doing that, but I wonder how many people write that off as a business expense 😂

I wanted a kilt while at Virginia’s Scottish Games this weekend. Then I realized: we similarly wear formal and casual wrappers across Igbo cultures! I had a great time vibing, making pictures, and drinking whiskey 🤌🏾 Crazy how different attire can show closer commonality than we’re taught to think.

I was walking home from the library and wanted to say thanks to anyone who’s been rooting and pushing for me thus far. Starting a business is hard for anyone. Lots of hard days mixed with glimmers these last almost two years. The fact that I’m still able to work at all is quite a blessing.

Running an indie photojournalism service is hard. As bills stack up, a voice in my head sometimes says “Dawg, just give it up.
