emisi Aribisala clinched the John Avery award in 2016 for her portrayal of the Nigerian culture through her examination of the relationship between food, politics, religion, and ethnicity.
For her acclaimed book ‘Longthroat Memoirs: Soups, Sex and Nigerian Taste Buds,’ Aribisala became the first black African to win the award in its 39-year history.
“This book tells the truth about every single Nigerian. This is our food. These are our stories. This is just a slice of our humanity. I take a lot of pride in being Nigerian,” she had said in a note of thanks to the awardees.
In this chat with TheCable Lifestyle, Aribisala talks about sex and sexuality, culture, her standpoint on feminism, and of course, the motivation behind Long Throat Memoirs.
