Greetings from Cotonou, Beninby Ruby-Angel Clement | August 11, 2025Editor’s Note: the author has used a number of French words throughout the text. This meant that inevitably, when presented with the opportunity to live in Benin for two months, my decision wasn’t made lightly. Several months and many interviews later, despite the uncertainty plaguing me, my flights were booked and my bags were packed. Words by Ruby-Angel Clement. Images courtesy of Ruby-Angel Clement.
