African strength

You owe yourself a good life!

You deserve to see all your dreams come true!

African women are strong resilient women!

We are hard working yet very feminine!

We can carry babies on our backs and carry pots full of responsibility on your heads!

Yet we still manage to kneel down to show respect to our elders and husbands.

We are an economic powerhouse that the world can no longer deny!

We stun on runways and we rock the white color jobs!

There’s nothing in this world more beautiful than the dark rich chocolate melanin that drips of confidence and never aging; never fading beauty!

Black women deserve happiness and softness and with our intelligence we can give ourselves a beautiful life.

I see women that haven’t gone to school make crafts out of beads and banana fibers. Now that’s raw art!

I see women deep in the village fold grass into a beautiful weave to carry pots of water from the well.

An art form as beautiful as a bird’s delicately crafted nest.

Get up my fellow black women! We are strong we are resilient and we are feminine.

We owe ourselves the best and we can do that with our God given talent, beauty and intelligence.

Arise African woman! Arise!

You owe it to yourself!

My forever puppy; Tino

I felt like I experienced all heart break until I mourned out sharp cries while holding my fur baby in my arms hoping I could still revive him. He had just made five years old the previous week. We were happy for this wonderful life of our call fur of joy! Anyone who knows me knows I loved my forever puppy Tino to death. I literally called him the love of my life. He was. He got me out of depression and helped me heal a lot of wounds I couldn’t open up about . There are five stage of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. 7 pm I got a call from home that Tino was no more. I was in denial and very angry. I screamed at everyone and everyone who was home at the time. I couldn’t articulate anything. I was shattered! I just couldn’t believe it. Something must be a mistake. I fell down and broke my glasses. I screamed until my head hurt and my ribs ached. Luckily my pastor friend had passed by earlier for some consultation and my aunt was at...

You only live once

Life can feel like your leg has been tied tightly to an anchor; and you're drowning deep down to the bottom of the ocean :- never to breathe or be seen again! Life can also feel like you're riding a magical unicorn with glistening colorful wings ; on a rainbow. While eating cotton candy clouds and wearing a crown of humming birds:- singing ever so slightly how life is but a dream! Life is a beautiful disaster that brings you bloody red roses with thorns of steel! The beauty is magnificent; bringing in so much joy but the thorns will send you to an early grave! Life presents you a brightly burning candle full of hope; but that same beacon of light will die out even before the night is out! Leaving you in darkness until the sun finally comes out; and the rays caress your melancholic cheeks. Life is not something to pass through despite all this bittersweet love-hate relationship nevertheless! Life is here for you to live it as the most powerful and intelligent bei...

Chasing Perfection!

Do you ever sense a peculiar cloud hanging over you, despite the positive momentum in your life? It's as if, no matter how many milestones you achieve, the ideal destination remains elusive. Consider this: today, you proudly receive a Guinness World Records award for your exceptional talent, only to find tomorrow that the year is ending, and that stubborn extra belly fat persists. It's a constant balancing act between accomplishments and the unmet expectations of where you envision yourself. Could it be self-sabotage, a deficiency in gratitude, or the incessant urge to compare yourself to others? The weight of self-imposed expectations can make it feel like you're consistently falling short in the race of life, burdened by undue pressure. In those moments, be kind to yourself. Despite scrutinizing imperfections and fixating on minor setbacks, acknowledge the many great achievements throughout the year. Life is an intricate blend of short and long journey...
