“So modern and fresh. I adore Yinka.” —Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation
“Feel good, funny, and clever.” –Josie Silver, New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December
Meet Yinka: a thirty-something, Oxford-educated, British Nigerian woman with a well-paid job, good friends, and a mother whose constant refrain is “Yinka, where is your huzband?”

Yinka’s Nigerian aunties frequently pray for her delivery from singledom, her work friends think she’s too traditional (she’s saving herself for marriage!), her girlfriends think she needs to get over her ex already, and the men in her life…well, that’s a whole other story.  But Yinka herself has always believed that true love will find her when the time is right.

Quotes

    Yes, your rich chocolate skin does deserve a seat at the table.
  • Beenzu Muzyamba has quoted2 years ago
    I realize how freeing it is to say what I think. To stand up for myself. I realize how much less of an effort it is to be my authentic self, as opposed to trying to be someone else. I love this feeling.

    Define your own definition of beauty. Don’t wait for society or any poxy magazine to do it for you. Don’t wait for social media (oh, you’ll find out what that is). And most definitely, do not wait for any man to affirm the beauty that you are. Tell yourself that you’re beautiful each and every single day.
