  • I’ve rescheduled this return trip to Cavtat three times. And I almost postponed it again. How could I steal away when life feels so uncertain on so many fronts? I’m so grateful I decided to just go. I rented a gorgeous place from @didan_apartments with the most glorious views of the Adriatic and got to work. Roughly 10,000 new words added to my current work in progress in four days. I wrote JOHAN in one week in July on the island of Hvar. Coming back time and time again to one of my favorite places (especially offseason) pulls my creativity to the surface in ways I’m still trying to understand myself. Hanging with my dear friends Zrinka of @tailoredcroatia in Cavtat and Anja of @everthenomad in Zagreb always replenishes my soul. I am so grateful for such deep friendships.

  • Thoughts on alignment in action and lucid dreams 🙏🏽 In addition to being a travel writer, I am also an author and novelist penning several books and four novels in which my stunning city #Stockholm feels like such a tangible character in itself. For years, many readers around the world have mentioned how much they would love to experience the city through my characters. See the places they walked through and lived. Eat the foods they did. And see Stockholm in a fresher, more modern light. A city so deeply multifaceted and complex as it is aesthetically breathtaking. After over a year of planning – from ideation and conceptualizing to scripting and execution – in partnership with @xperiencesthlm and @afrosvenskarnas_riksorg, I am beyond thrilled to officially expand literary tourism in #Sweden with the official launch of our Stockholm Book Tour Club #StockholmBookTour (LINK IN PROFILE) For our inauguration, we flew in nine (9) influential voices within the UK publishing and book space scene to be the very first to launch and preview this epic experience: @cultofbooks @readwithkapz @elliejnewton / @thetroubleclub @sivanreads @thecandidbookclub @jotheblackbookworm @whatsarahreadnext @afuathescot @queenchristinawriter We were welcomed by British Ambassador Samantha Job at The British Residence @ukinsweden with a wonderful afternoon tea.

Other launch partners included @theqavebyafriqana, the first and only Nigerian restaurant in Stockholm, @east__restaurant, @visitsweden for sponsoring 2 journalist flights alongside my own company, @geotravelermedia, and Visit Stockholm for covering all local transport including @ArlandaExpress tickets.

This spring, Lolá Ákínmádé’s first standalone novel, Bitter Honey, was released. A gripping novel that spans four decades and three continents, where a mother-daughter relationship is at the center. Through their eyes, Ákínmádé explores themes such as resilience, relationships and the profound power of fully wearing your skin and creating your own place in the world. Free admission with advance registration. Registration is made to konsthallen@orebro.se KONTUR is a collaboration between Örebro Library @orebrobibliotek and Örebro Konsthall @orebrokonsthall with a focus on the meeting between art and literature.

  • First of several incredible trade reviews 🌟 Thank you @kirkus_reviews for truly seeing @bitterhoneybook 💙💛 ===================== A mother and daughter in Sweden struggle to overcome the effects of colonial thinking about their Black bodies. “Honey” is the title of 20-year-old Tina’s hit single, a song that is catapulting her to the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. The honey refers to her own striking eyes, inherited from the white Swedish father she’s never known… As Tina navigates fame and failure...the narrative swings back to her mother Nancy’s arrival in Sweden from Gambia in the 1970s, a scholarship student with political ambitions. At university, she falls in love with Malik, but there is another man on the scene, anthropology professor Lars Wikström, who speaks their native language and is besotted with Nancy... ....As the novel progresses, chapters toggling between Nancy in the ’80s and Tina in the ’00s, it becomes clear that both mother and daughter have to struggle with authenticity.... ....The exploration of identity is nicely paired with just enough melodrama—drug- and sex-fueled Hollywood parties, shocking secrets, explosive confrontations, and the angst of an artist—to keep the plot buzzing along. Deliciously addictive—a family drama with compelling social commentary. ===================== Full review -> https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/lola-akinmade-akerstrom/bitter-honey/ #bitterhoneybook #bookreview #kirkusreviews #contemporaryfiction #historicalfictionbooks #lolaakinmade

Thoughts on alignment in action and lucid dreams 🙏🏽 In addition to being a travel writer, I am also an author and novelist penning several books and four novels in which my stunning city #Stockholm feels like such a tangible character in itself.

First of several incredible trade reviews 🌟 Thank you @kirkus_reviews for truly seeing @bitterhoneybook 💙💛 ===================== A mother and daughter in Sweden struggle to overcome the effects of colonial thinking about their Black bodies. “Honey” is the title of 20-year-old Tina’s hit single, a song that is catapulting her to the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. The honey refers to her own striking eyes, inherited from the white Swedish father she’s never known… As Tina navigates fame and failure...the narrative swings back to her mother Nancy’s arrival in Sweden from Gambia in the 1970s, a scholarship student with political ambitions. At university, she falls in love with Malik, but there is another man on the scene, anthropology professor Lars Wikström, who speaks their native language and is besotted with Nancy... ....As the novel progresses, chapters toggling between Nancy in the ’80s and Tina in the ’00s, it becomes clear that both mother and daughter have to struggle with authenticity.... ....The exploration of identity is nicely paired with just enough melodrama—drug- and sex-fueled Hollywood parties, shocking secrets, explosive confrontations, and the angst of an artist—to keep the plot buzzing along. Deliciously addictive—a family drama with compelling social commentary. ===================== Full review -> https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/lola-akinmade-akerstrom/bitter-honey/ #bitterhoneybook #bookreview #kirkusreviews #contemporaryfiction #historicalfictionbooks #lolaakinmade
