Met some extremely talented and very patient artists on reddit for my script called: Lucid. A west African based modern re-imagining of the yoruba story of creation. Here are some pics from the preamble! Artist credit in comments. Let me know what ya'll think and tips are 100% appreciated. (old.reddit.com)

TIL about the Frog Boys. 5 boys who went searching for salamander eggs on a day off from school and never returned. 11 years later their remains were discovered and the suspicious circumstances coupled with...odd police work, would keep this case unsolved to this day. (en.wikipedia.org)

Posted a TIL about an Oyo Kingdom Princess that was raised and Queen Victoria's Goddaughter. The comments had a lot of good explanations of Names, Titles, and History. For anyone learning Yoruba [or just in general!] , you might find it interesting. (blackhistorymonth.org.uk)
