Read #1. How Usher became the new king of Las Vegas.
Read #2. On Senegal’s food heritage.
GENEROSITY IS A CORE VALUE IN SENEGAL. If you come across a group of people sitting around a communal bowl for their midday meal, whether in a city or in a village, one of them will call out to you in Wolof, saying, “Kaay lekk”—Come eat. If you’re wise enough to accept, everyone will shift slightly on their knees until a sliver of space emerges, and you will be handed a spoon or encouraged to eat with your hand (always the right, never the left).
Read #3. The junkification of Amazon.
Read #4. Can you change your personality?
Read #5. Risk and regrer.
We spend so much time trying to quantify risk when the answer is just figuring out what you will or won’t regret. The anonymous Twitter account FedSpeak wrote, “The purpose of life is to experience things for which you will later experience nostalgia.” The opposite of regret.
Thankyou for the Sunday Reads Ms. Okolloh and Congratulations on your appointment.
