The Abuja Archive Envelope 🇳🇬

$15.00
Limit 16 per order

Abuja was home for almost three years, and this letter goes back to the people, routines and experiences that stayed with me.

There’s Harmattan dust, colourful Ankara fabric, life in our compound and stories from the days when I was “Madam Ellie.” It’s a candid letter about finding my voice and remembering a place that left me with plenty of love and some complicated feelings.

A good one for someone who’s lived abroad, learned to speak up or enjoys hearing what everyday life was actually like somewhere else.

Inside the envelope:

  • My personal letter from Abuja.

  • Access to the audio version.

  • An Abuja postcard.

  • A mini print of “Market Girl” by Clement Nnachi, included with permission.

  • Abuja City Field Notes.

  • A Word Key explaining the words and local references in the letter.

  • A piece of Ankara fabric.

  • An Abuja city sticker.

The fabric is limited to the remaining pieces I have. Once those are gone, I won’t have any more of this fabric to include.

This is a one-time physical archive envelope, with shipping included. You won’t be signed up for a subscription. The passport booklet is not included.
