Nkem is a Igbo Nigerian name given to both girls and boys. Nkem’s are funny and always smiling. They light up people’s life and are almost always happy. Even through bad times they still smile. They are very generous and extremely helpful. Nkem’s tend to attract many types of people to them due to their charisma and amazing personality. Nkem’s are very attractive (and beautiful if a girl) and tend to attract many of the opposite sex to them. They are incredibly smart and have many talents. They are great at making people laugh and are usually the light amongst others. They will brighten your life and make you see things in different lights. Nkem’s tend to doubt themselves but this may not show often. They can also be quite emotional but often try hide this. Some Nkem’s are also very gullible but still keep their sense of humour and their weirdness. Nkem’s are super loving and therefore want love back and tend to show this by expressing love to others. However, they can sometimes have a short temper and low patience. They are extremely ambitious and tend to be planners or think ahead. If you have a Nkem in your life, you should hang onto them because you will never meet another person like Nkem.

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s
