Tw: murder, violence, security forces, racism, anti-African rhetoric.
Image description: a screenshot of an Instagram post by projectartscentre. It reads:
"His name was Yves Sakila. He had lived in Ireland since 2004. He died on a Dublin street on Friday.
No crime in Ireland is punishable by death.
We stand with the Black community in Ireland, who deserve equal protection under the law, always.
We stand in solidarity with the Congolese community in Ireland.
We stand with Yves Sakila's family.
Use your voice and share.
#JusticeForYvesSakila"

There's dog whistles and empty rhetoric with white institutions regarding the murder of Yves Salika and I'm really disgusted.
I've been on Instagram recently and I saw this post from Project Act Center, a theatre multi function space in Dublin. I was once again reminded why I hate social media.
This is what I replied in the comments:
It doesn't matter when he arrived in Ireland. He didn't die, he was tortured to death. The fact that no crime is punishable by death is a completely irrelevant fact to add into this, the allegations of criminal behaviour have been used to justify torturing him to death. The dog whistles are really really loud. Why is there an assumption he committed a crime? Because the violent men that tortured him said so? And if he had come to Ireland last week Tuesday how would it change anything? Why mention when he came to Ireland? Who is he survived by? Why ain't you calling for the arrest of murderers?
TW: Death, physical violence, security forces violence, public execution
Another African person was killed by security forces in Dublin, Ireland, demonstrating the violence of Ireland's anti-African cultural practices, a few days after corrupt former prime minister Bartholomew Ahern was secretly filmed trying to scapegoat African people, particularly Congolese people for the Irish issues he manufactured and engineered.
A Congolese man called Yves-Sakila was publicly executed on Friday in Dublin outside department store Arnotts by various security forces on the scene. The security guards were allegedly with Arnotts management as they murdered him.
An extremely disturbing video is circulating social media so please be careful and respect the dead do not share it any further.
There will be a vigil on Henry Street at 12pm tomorrow Tuesday 19th May 2026 organised by the Congolese Community in Ireland.
If you can attend please show up in solidarity.
Hyper-violence against African people by security forces is unacceptable everywhere.
Hiii everyone, hope you are well. I am feeling so much, I am reconnecting with my family, myself and people I haven't seen or spoken to in years. Its really interesting and its taken me away from my laptop and I love it.

Thats all the energy I have to give right now. After the listening party I am taking the summer off from my blog. No more virtual events, no newsletters just a few scheduled posts.
TW: parental wounds, parental neglect and family trauma
I am processing my mother wounds through my art, here is one of my many art pieces about my mother. My maker and muse.
I am learning my voice and learning how to record it.
May 2026 reflection - after 7 years of no contact with my mother we are speaking again.
Image Description: A pixlated picture of a Nigerian women wear green traditional wear looking away from the camera in a white hall way with dark carpet.
Lyrics:
I'm in my thirties tryna heal my soul
mother you hurt me
say you don’t know
mother mistreatment
was served up with hate
A mother's mistreatment
You can relate
You hurt me
You hurt me
And She hurt you
So you hurt me
Mother wounds x2
Controlling
and shaming
and blaming
so nasty
neglectful
stone walling
rejectful
and loathing
You hurt me
Cuz she hurt you
Mother wounds
your disappointment is sure
your hatred rings in my ears
I can not bear it no more
you narrate all of my fears
goodbye
May 2026 reflection: There's an oil famine, can we work fully remote yet? Also fuck plantation owners. I love this song, proud of this music video.
Commuter's Commitment (Mundane Mondays) Music Video - (2024)
The song is a lo-fi jazz instrumental inspired by the infamous London commute the anti-binary artist Love, Builder of Worlds grew up deeply entrenched in; acutely aware of its adornments of delays, overcrowded platforms, stuffy and sometimes sweltering heat, and of course its ear piercing symphony of screeches. Commuter’s Commitment instead offers itself as a reprieve from the cacophony of chaos that is the commute, and serves the listener as a friendly accompaniment of comfort on those seemingly endless mundane Mondays and the days that follow.
Lyrics: Wake up? Are you awake? The shareholders need their money. Have you woken up yet? Hello? --- Video description : An image of Commuter's Commitment (Mundane Monday) art work (description below). Then there are a series of dark cityscape shots depicting commuters going to work in Dublin city center. Theres city traffic, buses, cars, cyclists, offices, bridges and luas shown at various times of the day. Towards the end of the video the cityscape shots are reversed. The final shot is commuters waiting at a bus stop in the evening. Love, Builder of Worlds logo is shown, then the song credits and music video credits. Audio is a jazzy lo-fi instrumental track with city sounds and towards the end theres Black British person asking questions.
Commuter's Commitment (Mundane Mondays) artwork description: An African person on the floor under a desk appearing exhausted and overwhelmed. He is wearing traditional African material, surrounded by office items: a laptop covering his face, theres wires to the right of him, a laptop bag to the left of him and on the office table theres an air purifier necklace, headphones, an ergonomic mouse, a regular mouse, a wireless keyboard, papers, a book and a wireless HDMI transmitter. The image is overall is a bluey hue.
