Made fufu and okro soup for the first time in years today. I was nervous, but my wife and sister approved!

I‘ve been randomly craving it for weeks. I asked my mom if she’d like to make some together and she said “You‘re grown, make *me* some!” Ask and you shall receive 😂

I get asked how to support the work I'm up to, so here are four ways:
1. Use the work 📸
2. Tell your friends and colleagues 🗣️
3. Support the (upcoming) side projects 🤝
4. Donate if you feel so inclined 👀

Thanks a ton to so many encouraging folks. I can’t believe it’s almost a year at the helm 🤯
Some folks have asked how they can support Nwachukwu Works and its goals. Thank you! Here are four ways: 1. Use the work Even if you don’t work in news or “the media,” all of the images are licensed for editorial use to bring awareness, factually educate, or provide commentary on a topic pertaining to the image. Making a presentation or report? Writing on a book or a blog? Maybe you need a photo for a social media post or video? Nwachukwu Works has you covered.
 What about for advertisements or other commercial uses? Let’s talk and see what your options are. Every image has specific restrictions depending on the subject matter and usage.
 Please note: the sticker price isn’t always final! That price is based on how an image is used and for how long one has access to use the image(s). Though, everyone and every company has different budgets that they need to meet. Profits are important in some cases, but making sure the archive is a truly accessible space regardless of socio-economics is paramount to this service. On Nwachukwu.Works, you can build wishlists and send quote requests! Fill out the quote form and I’m confident we can make things work. 2. Tell your friends and colleagues Nwachukwu Works also produces custom photography for internal use. Portraits, research, event coverage and more are possible with a deep background in intersectional, community-driven photojournalism.
 Even if you personally can’t think of a reason or time to use the archive, someone else might. Artificial algorithms depend on organic word of mouth from a voice you know or trust every time. 3. Support the side projects! Would you be interested reading the Slices by Nwachukwu Works newsletter (https://slices.beehiiv.com)? This is open to anyone curious about new projects, work and life lessons learned, or other happenings. It’s sporadically released and there’s a lot covered, but don’t worry, there’s a table of contents so you can hop between sections at your convenience.
