It feels really amazing to know this part of history and the realisation that the fight and sacrifices for women’s rights began so long ago.

Can we please take a minute to stan Israel?? The love and support He gave Funmilayo for a man in that era was nothing short of extraordinary.

I will definitely see FRK the movie a couple more times, it was entertaining, educative and a rollercoaster of emotions you literally could feel it in your core with each scene.
