the Onyi in Onyiverse 🪐💜

it’s pronounced oh-knee

I’m Onyi D. I’ve been documenting different parts of my life for as long as I can remember. It started with writing, videography and eventually film & digital photography. I took the leap starting a Youtube Channel a couple years ago For some reason, whilst I was confident in my other avenues, I always doubted my writing. Maybe because it felt inherently more personal.

Christmas Eve 2023, I decided to get over my fears and fulfil my childhood dream of starting a newsletter. The aim: to normalise and speak candidly about all aspects of the human experience. Through conversations with friends and my own lived experience I realise we all have so much buried within us that we’re aching to talk about and discuss. This is the place for that.

There’s no set theme, each week I will choose a topic based on how I’m feeling, any whims I have or something I’ve seen online (aka Tiktok and X). It could be lighthearted or serious but it will always be honest. I’ll be throwing in some recomendations (books, music, podcast, tv & film ) as well.

A lot of this has also been inspired by the community I’ve found on Tiktok, especially their vulnerability on topics I’ve written about and shared on the platform. I want this to be a space were you feel comfortable enough to share your opinions and relate to others. I love discussions in the comment section, or you can email me as well. ❤️

(I will also be utilising the chat feature on Substack)

Until the next post 👋🏾
