Happy Sunday, friend.
I hope you had an amazing week, and you're having a restful weekend.

Last week, we were unable to get the forloop Wednesday newsletter to you, due to a few technical challenges. We apologize, and we're here now.

Yesterday, the forloop Enugu community had its first meetup. It was a lovely turnout and experience altogether. If you couldn't make it to the event, you can catch up by following the hashtag, #forloopEnugu.
