In the vibrant chaos of Lagos, two women—Zara, a guarded journalist from a conservative Muslim family, and Kelechi, a daring artist unapologetically queer—collide in a whirlwind of passion, defiance, and self-discovery.
Zara’s life has been a delicate balancing act, hiding her desires while chasing truth in a society that demands conformity. Kelechi, on the other hand, wears her identity like a badge of honor, even as it isolates her from family and puts her at odds with the world. When Zara is assigned to cover the radical art scene, she steps into Kelechi’s studio—and a magnetic, life-altering connection is born.
But love in a patriarchal, homophobic society comes at a cost. As their relationship deepens, Zara is forced to confront her fears and the suffocating expectations of tradition, while Kelechi grapples with the relentless challenges of living freely. Together, they must navigate a dangerous path where love, identity, and survival intertwine.
YABA is a gripping, heart-wrenching story of liberation, resistance, and the transformative power of love in the face of impossible odds. This is not just a romance—it’s a revolution.
