    Whenever I go to @NandosUSA, I tell friends I'm taking them to eat "the food of my people." I got to write about the history of the brand and the peri peri chili that's at the heart of its food for @AHAhistorians:

    Replying to @trishulapatel
    It’s based on research I did for my dissertation, which I have spent the past two years rewriting and revising. In other words, it’s been a long time coming, and I cannot wait to share the history of my family, my community, and my country with the world in Spring 2026!

    I got to write about the things that I both loved and that irked me about @bridgerton Season 2, as both an historian and a descendant of former colonized subjects. Thank you to the wonderful @lmansley for helping me get this piece out into the world! historians.org/publications-a…
