Sahara is Not Okay. Entering her sophomore year, she already feels like a failure: her body is too much, her love life is nonexistent, she’s not Nigerian enough for her family, her grades are subpar, and, well, the few Black classmates she has are vanishing—or dying. Sahara herself is close to giving up: depression has been her longtime “Life Partner."" She believes that this narrative—taking the form of an irreverent, no-holds-barred “thesis” addressed to the powerful University Committee that will judge her.

As those halls make her skin crumble with self-hate, she is trying not to kill herself - at least until she can get her degree and get out. However, surviving feels near impossible when fuelled by cheap vodka, lines and toxic friendships. Using her thesis as a means of documenting her experiences - and giving out advice to the next generation of those lucky enough to attend university - Sahara reveals the truth about what it’s like to live inside her head while Black students are disappearing and dying, racism is thriving and her depression is living inside her head rent free.
