Mavis Jenner is an awkward eighteen year old in a foreign country. With her olive skin and hazel eyes, she sticks out like a sore thumb amidst shades of brown and black. Although, a particular shade of brown found on a very particular Isaac Otedola has caught her eye, and from the looks of things, he feels the same. The only problem? She has zero experience in the dating field. She's plunging in head first into uncharted territory. It could either make for a sickeningly sweet love story, or heart wrenching sad song.

What does it mean to be a woman? A young daughter lives with her parents in Lagos, Nigeria. Her parents have taught her to be a woman - to cook, to clean, to act polished, desirable - not "local." But all these values are overturned when she begins exploring her culture in greater depth. She finds that her coming of age is tied to re-discovering herself as a Yoruba woman - but her parents will not approve of this new expression. Will she become this new woman if it could mean the end of her relationship with her family? Obirin means woman in Yoruba, a Nigerian language. This story is part of Taboo, an anthology by Illino Media. At Illino we use culturally-inspired artistic innovation to give you stories that empower, educate and entertain Africans worldwide.

Check inside for the link :) Due to the banishment of her mother, Fourth Princess Iniko-Asha grew up in exile. Fifteen dry seasons later, she returns to Belbe's palace intending to catch up for the lost times. But life in the palace is not as the young girl had imagined. She finds it challenging to fit in and mingling with the other royal girls becomes tedious. When an accident leaves their father bedridden, her half-brother Crown Prince Nyennoh rules in the king's stead. With his best friend, Tau, as his right-hand man, Nyennoh proves his worthiness as the next successor. Tau-a child with no blood relations to the royals- is the full package of a prince. Favored with good looks and high confidence, he moves with an aura that screams power and never lets his guard down not even with his supposedly betrothed. But all it takes are Iniko's smiles and bright personality, and the walls of his heart start to crumble. Nyennoh's ascension to the throne begins a silent war for supremacy. It becomes lethal when the yearning demons of those craving control of the crown are fully reawakened. The fangs of terror dig in, claw at their lives and destiny weaves a story of love, survival, and loss.

In the heart of Nairobi, two worlds collide in the most unexpected way. Zawadi Njeri is a free-spirited children's book author who believes in living life barefoot and on "divine timing." Her days are filled with hiking forest trails, chasing butterflies, and writing stories that nurture the soul. She's spontaneous, soulful, and utterly unpredictable. Chuka Okonkwo is a Nigerian chef with a laser focus on routine, precision, and planning every second of his life. Recently relocated to Nairobi to open a cutting-edge pan-African fusion restaurant, he treats time as currency and order as sacred. When a chance encounter in Karura Forest sparks a clash of personalities, their worlds continue to bump into each other - from a kids' menu collaboration to food expos and poetry nights. Through laughter, arguments, and unexpected moments, Zawadi and Chuka discover that love isn't something you can schedule or plan.
