Serena Williams Wins French Open - Beyonce Writes Congratulatory Message

Serena Williams last Saturday, beat Maria Sharapova in the French Open finals to take the title at the Tennis Championship. It was her 16the Grand Slam win and she's not backing down. Lawn Tennis was one of the first sports I loved and I'm a big fan of Serena Williams. It appears Beyonce is another fan, and in a show of support, she posted a handwritten note on her site congratulating Serena, "Stunt on them Serena, 31 and in your prime...You have no idea how much you inspire all of us women."

Magazine Covers - Architect, Olajumoke Adenowo on TW

Since this is TW's men's edition, one would be forgiven for expecting to see a man on the cover of the magazine, but Olajumoke Adenowo makes a lovely picture. I've been wanting to see some non-entertainment women on magazine covers and TW seems to have read my mind. Olajumoke is an architect. Well done TW!

Jennifer Eliogu – Ifunanya : Romance Meets Music

This is honestly one of the best songs I've heard come out of Nigeria in recent times. Her first single, You and I gave a sample of what her sound is - highlife with a hint of R&B - but in this song, she comes into her own, both lyrically and vocally. I love this, and will buy a CD when it becomes available.

With just about 400 guests, her wedding got me appreciating the benefits of destination weddings in this post.

Jupiter Strong and The Lunch Lion - A Book For Children

Many African parents at home or in the diaspora, are often on the lookout for new books and other material they can use to teach their children good values and which features characters that look like them. The duo of Frank Edwards and Kelly Abel have come up with an idea for a series of books which I think is brilliant! And the fact that the artwork is so fresh and colorful will make it a double hit for children and parents, I personally love it. The first book in the series is “Jupiter Strong and The Lunch Lion”
