  • 30s, Children, Freeze Eggs?

    **Before anything else, I stand in prophetic declaration with those in-waiting to proclaim “Your miracle is coming.”** I think a lot about childbearing since hitting my 30s. I do find my reasons a tiny bit selfish. Entertainment, having a mini-me, etc. Then again, I suppose this is normal. Nobody is having kids to strengthen national…

  • Olivia & Women

    One of the funniest elements of my existence is Africans calling me “Oliver” on a regular. It’s so funny and random to me. It’s usually non-Francophone speakers so I take it, they never watched scandal? On another note, I attended a Women’s event today at work. Learned the following. Did you know that most weapons…

  • Bona Fide

    Long, Long ago, I emancipated my mind. Life is not a mathematical equation to be executed with precision. No , ex-lovers did not steal your youth & no, witches did not haunt your wallet. Life is a fluctuating, beautiful mess in which, destiny, will always accomplish herself! If nothing else, I hope I have inspired…

  • Milaka: A Case Study

    Milaka is one of the most impressive women I know. We met in 2018 in Cape Town where we were both law students studying abroad. I was heading to Kigali next so I invited her to join me. Because, hey, YOLO! This is us at our family home in Kigali rocking African Headwraps. Milaka is…

  • Ramadan, Congress, Weight, Justice

    Ramadan Mubarak رمضان مبارك. To all our Muslim friends observing Ramadan, we wish you a prosperous Holy Month. So… We could fact-check yesterday’s Address to Congress (which is technically not a state of the Union) given by #47 but since facts matter not to members of his cult, we will save our breath/megabytes. Instead, I…

  • Future of American Politics

    Only thing I love more than an brilliant man is a brilliant woman. Imagine my delight when I heard that my Kenyan sister (whom we affectionately call Honorable Tacha) and I will be spending 3 days in a retreat with 41 women from across the nation, most of whom have aspirations for public office and…

  • FEDERAL HOLIDAY

    The Prototype. The Muse. The Pioneer. When we were younger , dad would give us pocket money, but my sister Sandrine would never spend it on herself. She’d always give it to someone in need. She’d never tell a soul either, not even me. The person would be the one to tell us later. Sandrine,…

  • Life Lately…

    First things first, 7000 Dead Bodies in DRC since last month. There are really no more words left to say in re- depravity of man, but let us take a moment of silence to honor every life lost. As for you Genocide apologist, Ewww, brute that you are, may your pinky ever get jammed in…

  • ECONOMIC BOYCOTT

    Today is the 24hr economic boycott! This effort is spearheaded by a grassroot organization, The People’s Union USA. Inhabitants of America have been called to economically resist for 24 hours as an act of rebellion against a President that has mistaken himself for a demi-god. Idea is to abstain from making any purchases, whether in…

  • Saving? Argh.

    I am 32, by the time they were my age, both my mom & dad had individually bought land/properties and were financially responsible for their parents and siblings. As for me, I have been working for close to a decade, so I should have a hefty savings account, but I don’t… I followed a very…
