On top of co-writing the smash hit, Slay In Your Lane and the follow up, Loud Black Girls, she’s now coming out with her debut novel, The List!
The book, which explores the dark side of social media and it’s effects on our personal lives, is yet to be released but has already been at the centre of a 17 way bidding war for the TV rights. In case you were wondering, HBO Max, BBC & A24 won.
“Ola Olajide, a high-profile journalist at Womxxxn Magazine, is marrying the love of her life in one month’s time. Young, beautiful, successful – she and her fiance Michael are the ‘couple goals’ of their social networks and seem to have it all. That is, until one morning when they both wake up to the same message: ‘Oh my god, have you seen The List?'”
