I lost my dad 25th June and I would never forget going through your page on that very day and having my first laugh after his demise... that’s just how good your content is.. It didn’t ease the hurt permanently but at that very moment, I could laugh.. I laughed Hauwa.. I couldn’t even eat that day cause the reality of my daddy my shuga daddy gone was so surreal.. I couldn’t even stomach eating talk less of smiling or laughing .. mind you, I smiled/laughed earlier that day at the job interview I went for.. but your page caused me to have my first laugh after he died.. Hauwa you have no idea the smile you are putting on the faces of people going through one or two shii.. think of those you make happy babe.. momentary laugh/smile.. Those people matters.. Let the haters keep hating.. Atlst they are useful for something.. Keep doing you b and may God bless you for it all ❤️

Hey Dawn, thank you for this. I am so sorry about your dad. Nothing can erase the pain but I am so thankful I got you to laugh that day. I hope that it gets easier.

Hauwa thank you for sending an email in a time like this. My supposed Boss sacked me this morning. I've worked as a virtual assistant for him for 3 weeks without pay (even though it was a ridiculous amount but I was desperate) and I was thinking of giving up on my job search until I saw your mail. Thank you.

Hello Hauwa,

I’ve felt this way at work for the longest time because of negative comments from my colleagues. It’s hard to push it out and keep my head high, you’ve reassured me with your open letter.

Keep doing what you love. The best revenge is your paper!

This piece feels like it was written by me. Asides the comment part, a lot of times I lose touch with my creativity because life is bartering me. I’ll turn down jobs just because I know right now, my creative juice is low and I won’t give out what I want. But then other times I’m feeling all fueled and then I get scared that those that wanted me to work for them then might not want me again because they must think “I’ve fallen off” but my job is what I enjoy doing so at the end of the day, I do it with all joy, with people’s appraisal or not, I love what I do. I’m so glad you put out this post. I found it very relatable. Go girrrrrl❤️. You have not fallen off cos I still laugh every time I see your work, you’re super talented❤️

Adetutu! Super happy the post resonated with you. Yes, creativity can cruel sometimes but I need you to know that people will want to work with you as long as you keep putting the work in. I've also learnt that non-linear growth is also growth. So take all the time you need.

Honestly, whenever I check my mail, and I do this often because of the many offers I expect that never seem to come through, I always hope to see a letter from Hauwa.

I haven't checked my mail in a while and when I did, I was happy that I had a number of contents to read from you.

I'm telling you this because I want you to know that there are people out there who are looking forward to reading contents from that crazy and creative mind of yours. You have successfully built a following of crazy-like individuals who share your sense of humor and if that isn't an accomplishment, I don't know what is.

I know it's not easy to ignore trolls; because as much as we don't want to admit it, we humans are always seeking validation, these days from the internet, but whenever you feel like you're not doing enough, or you are hurt by a comment with malicious intent, you have to try as much as possible to think about people like me, and hundreds of other individuals that look forward to seeing a letter from you in our mails.

Keep on doing what you do best, the sky is just your starting point Hauwa.

Just this night alone I went through all your newsletters, this is the last one and I am actually shocked someone think u fell off. I am not a social media person but anytime I stumble into Instagram I make sure I go update myself on your page cos I know I would get a good laugh. I subscribed the last time I was there and I just got around to reading today cos I just saw the message in my inbox.

I had an unhappy day with hubby but the moment I started reading I have been laughing like crazy with tears streaming down my eyes. I shared one or two with my sis and bff and they loved it. Everytime I read your stories you make my day and today wasn’t an exception. And I am very sure I am not the only one that feel this way.

I pray God make you happy as much as you make us happy. And May all your heart desires and secret prayers be answered Insha Allah. Hauwa you are loved and you have a great impact. Continue being you.

Hi Hauwa. You are an inspiration to me and many. I honestly admire your creativity and consistency. Please don't let negative comments get to you. Hard people break other people. The person needs help and not you.
