Ezigbo Nwata Nwanyi: The Mix Tape

December 18, 2017

If you grew up in the 90s/early 2000s you should be familiar with cassette tapes. Specifically, the art of dubbing.

Akudo was seething, but you could not tell with the way she plastered the unnaturally wide smile on her face. Her desk phone rang and she glanced at it, thanking the heavens for the easy excuse. It was an external number, but the VP could not see that from where he stood. She got in … More Blue Phoenix E04: Love and Blackmail
