Welcome to Vol 191 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.

On Saturday, I went to watch the skaters do their thing at WAF Skate Park in Lagos, and I am now even more determined to finally learn how to skate, even though watching them made me realise it’s much more difficult than I thought. Still, it was a lot of fun.

And across the Atlantic, Tems performed at the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Centre (no comment on the small slip-up; she was clearly nervous, and honestly, who wouldn't be performing for the Obamas?).

I hope your week ahead goes swimmingly. Mine is going to be a busy one, especially since I was largely off the grid last week, recovering. Send strength my way, please.
