Shola
They called her shola like she was something dangerous. She didn't apologise for the heat she brought with her, or the way everything shifted when she walked in. That's always been the thing about her - the flame they kept asking her to dim was the very thing that lit up every room she was ever in.
Shola is for the woman who has always burned at full flame and has finally, completely, stopped turning it down for anyone. What sets her apart is exactly what sets her free.
