It has taken me 10 years to create this Letter. This is also my first attempt at writing just like @LooksLikeLagos was my first attempt at actualizing my desire to share the captivating essence of Lagos with the world and even with those of us who breathe its air daily.

Over the years and through the lens of this project, we collaborated with incredible content creators, weaving together the stories and sights of Lagos. With a nearly 40,000 strong community, we have created a reference point that I often proudly show off to my foreign friends. Too many times I have watched them receive Lagos in awe, as I am reminded myself of the unique beauty of my city.

In my own little way, I am changing how the world sees Lagos, Nigeria, and even Africa. Through the stunning work of our collaborators, we showcased the diversity, resilience, and talent that define this land. Each post was a testament to the industrious spirit and the unique vibrancy that is Lagos.
