I have three things to say in this email.

• First, I cut my hair

• Second, the Write Right Academy is currently closed

• Finally, we need to pick a date.

Okay, let's dive in.

If you saw my post on Instagram this morning, then it's no news to you that I've cut my hair. It was truly one of the most impulsive things I've done. I got the feeling last week, and the moment I got some free time, I entered a salon and told them to take it off. lol. Don't worry, we'll grow it back. Maybe. 🙃

Now, let me tell you: the first shower you have after a fresh haircut (as an adult woman) feels sacred. The water hits differently because this time, there's no soft landing to block its impact. You hear the gentle kpa...kpa...kpa...a soft patter of water against your scalp. Your fingers travel a route they've never known. Everything feels lighter, and you end up rubbing your head far longer than necessary, just because it feels... interesting. For a brief moment, you become intensely aware of your own head, your own skin,... you.

Pheeew. It truly is an experience every woman should have at least once. PLEASE, I DID NOT ASK YOU TO CUT YOUR HAIR OH! 🤣

Anyway, I'm going to bask in this novelty for as long as I can.

Very importantly, I've recently received a spike in the number of requests for the Write Right Academy. I've mentioned it before, but I'll do it again: the academy is currently closed. For the year. Our next cohort is in January 2027.

Let me explain: the academy is very personal to me. It is one place where I share without holding back. I curate the experience carefully to give my students the most impactful three weeks of their career. So, it's not something I want to rush into. I am carefully planning the next cohort, and that will take some time.

Soooo, we are closed until January. Please bear with me as I create a worthy experience for you. In the meantime, the Write Right course is actively changing lives. It is a 3-in-1 course that teaches you everything about writing and about earning from writing. You can purchase it (it gives you automatic access to me) and go through the modules at your own pace. Then you can boldly run into my DM with your questions.

Nowwww, let's talk about our December event.

As we speak, it is 119 days until the 1st of December. Here's the plan: we need to host an intimate event for about 150 writers in the city of Lagos, Nigeria. You know me; you know I don't do basic lol. So, whatever you do, be there. That's probably the only motivational speech I'll give you to attend. lol.

Well, I want us to set a date, and I want us to do it together. Do you think it should be on a weekday or a weekend? Also, do you think it should be early, mid, or late December? The date on my mind is Saturday, the 19th of December. But I don't know if it works for everyone. A little suggestion from one or two of you will help me get the right stats, compare, and fix an actual date.

Can you hit reply and share your thoughts with me? Thank you!

I'll talk to you soon.

Love,

Professor.
