DR. OLUWATOYIN SHAKIRAT MADEIN

Xclusive Interactive (literary edition) curtesy of BellaNaija, brings you an interesting interview with Nigeria’s first female Accountant General of the Federation, Dr. Oluwatoyin Shakirat Madein.

In 2023, Oluwatoyin Shakirat Madein was appointed as the Accountant-General of the Federation by former President Muhammadu Buhari. She made history as the first woman to fully occupy this position. Prior to her appointment, she served as an Executive Officer (Accounts) at the Ogun State Property and Investment Corporation (OPIC) in Abeokuta, Ogun State, and was the Director of Finance and Accounts at the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.

On the 10th of March, Oluwatoyin retired from the public service. We sat down with her to reflect on her time at the office, what it means to be the first female Accountant-General of the Federation and advice for young women aspiring for leadership positions in the country.

Enjoy the conversation!

Hello Dr Oluwatoyin. How are you today?

I am very well. Thank you for asking.

XCLUSIVE INTERACTIVE courtesy, Interview Magazine features Sasha Velour in an interview with Mikelle Street captioned: Sasha Velour Delivers a Long Drunken Drag Bar Speech

On season nine of RuPaul’s Drag Race (which she ultimately won), Sasha Velour developed a bit of a reputation. She was called the face of Brooklyn drag, with performances that were both artsy and extremely studied. And it’s true: Sasha Velour is a glossy, living piece of art, but she also thinks deeply about who she is, what that represents, and the impact she can have. This all crystallizes in her new book The Big Reveal, which is part-memoir, part-drag history, part-manifesto, addressing queer expression and gender variance at the macro level, literally beginning with the Mesolithic age, and also the micro, sharing intimate details of her post-Drag Race reign.

Clara Perlmutter—or @tinyjewishgirl, as she’s known to her 772K TikTok followers—found internet fame during the depths of the pandemic. When lockdowns forced her to leave NYU for her parents’ home in Connecticut, Perlmutter, who had spent her college career mastering the art of the perfect on-campus fit, satiated her aesthetic boredom with a series of TikToks staged in the middle of her jam-packed closet. The college student showed viewers how she would dress for occasions that didn’t exist, trotting out obscure ’90s designer pieces and thrifted favorites in the process. Two years later, Perlmutter has remained true to her own formula, drawing on an expansive knowledge of fashion history to source archival pieces while pulling together ever-more outlandish outfits. To find out how she does it, we slid into the @tinyjewishgirl DMs.
