Welcome to Vol 153 of the Spread!

Hello and welcome back to the Spread, your weekly edit of all the best stories and global news about Africans shaping mainstream culture.

A friend once told me that the scariest part of growth is having to reinvent yourself over and over again. At the time I thought, “abeg, I can barely even reinvent my diet.” But this week kind of proved her right. Kamara brought Off-White back to New York with a fresh twist, and Thebe Magugu is going beyond the runway into brand new territory. Each of them is proof that reinvention isn’t just scary; it’s also necessary.

When was the last time you switched things up and surprised yourself?

Oh, and before I forget, Faaji Sundays (Nigerian Independence Edition) is right around the corner. You’ve got your ticket, right?
