Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn

A cute story of a downward spiral put to an end by the support of friends and family. Yinka is constantly being reminded of her lack of a husband by the women in her community, which pressures her into telling small lies that grow into a full-sized disaster. I loved the theme of self-love. My only critique is the Christian framework, particularly the language that Yinka is “saving herself” for marriage. Meanwhile she has a cousin who had premarital sex, so naturally she got pregnant and had a shotgun wedding, but guess who her husband really wants? That’s right, the Virgin Yinka. Fortunately Yinka fixes her relationship with those she has hurt, including herself.
