Lily Séjor
Bio
Lily is really not the best at describing herself, so she'll put this down for now and circle back when (if) she's inspired. For now, she wants you to know that she's your verbose friend who rarely knows what to say.

High Sea Pariade. Content Warning.
No. Not again! Something tugs at my guts and lunges at my throat when I hear the sound. It is an omen darker than the sight of the ẹkùn circling in the sky. At least, when the bald, long-necked bird is seen approaching, we know the prey is already dead. This whistling from the boy’s wooden tube is the signal that lets us know we are the kill, about to be stalked then devoured alive—souls soon to be crushed and consumed, honey pots to be ravaged and plundered without grace or mercy.

The Harvest. Top Story - July 2024.
Koyi wobbled to her shabby wood and straw kaz, holding her machete and an old burlap bag with some yams. Someone had laid another basket in front of the patched up door—rose apples today. They were a bright reddish pink, looking waxy and crisp, just the way she liked them. The culprit knew her very well. Those would be crunchy, juicy and sweet—she could tell—but she gathered all the will she could muster and pushed the basket aside to enter her home. She had already said no repeatedly and would not be taking bribes.

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing. Top Story - June 2024.
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.
