I crept in at 5.30am and I feel shame, shame, shame. No, not because I am a dirty stop out, trying tuh creep in and find my bed before my children wake up, no um isnt dat. Tis because I walk home from de club all by myself in the early hours of de morning. You might be thinking, so whats wrong with that? Well tuh tell you de truth, I put myself at risk. No matter how big, bad and brave I think I am, I aint nuh match for the unknown. And tis selfish because I dont belong only to myself, I belong to my kids, extended family and those who love me. I actually had an uh oh moment when I was walking home when a brer arse tek intress in me, because clearly if a black woman is on the road at ex amount of time in the morning, she MUST be out looking for ....he. Well that seems tuh be the consensus bout here. So when the car started to roll to a stop, I aint even glance at he, I just use my fog horn voice that Toyin Agbetu and others can bare witness to de sound, and I shout out the registration number of the car so loud, that I could have wake up a housing scheme. It worked and brer arse drove off. But my point is this. so many peoples life would change if I did not come home this morning because I chose to take a chance and walk home when I could not find a cab. I WONT BE DOING THAT AGAIN. I have a duty to keep safe and I owe my family dat. Anywho, I going tuh bed and later I gine share de story of my night out and how I get tuh walk home by myself!
