Hi, Welcome to the Nascent newsletter; a once-weekly news-gist for Gen Z, Millennials and anyone looking for some twilight read that's plain delightful, info-educative, and inspiring.
I've been working on this piece for months and then my father's passing happened and everything just... stiffened.
Now, the story is back and nearly finished!
I am bulbous with fright. You can say excited, not just because I am sending out something so vulnerable (so me), and fascinating, but also because the subject, I mean, the main character—a one-time love interest is the editor at the literary magazine.
Makes me wonder what they will think of my story—their story.
Do you think they'd be petty—I mean, sour love can get pretty petty—to keep our story; a good read permanently unread? Tell me what you think in the comments.
If not, I am finished!
Dear Nascentite, I hope you are good. If you're not, well, call on God or Toby. 😭😭😭
If you’re reading this, you’re already part of the Nascent community and that means a lot. Week after week (or when life doesn’t get in the way), this newsletter shows up with stories, reflections, insights, gists and reminders that we learn grow by reading.

And then there's you whose company we covet and strive to keep for as long as possible.
That's why we write you every weekend.
But.
Here’s the thing: I don’t write this alone. I write it with you. Yes... every reply, share, like, comment that sparks a conversation on WhatsApp after a Saturday edition is what keeps this alive. And the best way to keep the Nascent Newsletter growing is to share it.
Ọgwụla, period!
Tell a friend. Invite someone you think will find a home here.

👉🏾 Subscribe if you’re new.
👉🏾 Share if you’ve been here.
Let’s keep this rhythm alive. Saturday mornings, together.
See? It's not a long read today. I've been running on Ọkpá and ọ-ngá spice rice all day.
Ndị Enugwu bụ terrible cooks.
No joy!
So, bye…
Till I write you again,
With fondness,
Counsel. ✍🏾 ❤️
