  • Post-Chaos

    It is as if they want to exhaust us.Us, the blacks, the poor, the immigrants.I don’t care about Individual success stories.I want our entire communities to thrive.Domestically, Internationally, in every alley. 1,2,3 “Unprecedented Times.”3,4,5 “Critical Situation.”The best revenge is to live and live well.Righteous Indignation is honorable.And while Compassion Fatigue is very much a first-world…

  • Favor at the Kasebas

    I have been friends with the Kaseba family for more than a decade and I can tell you, they are one of the most God-fearing families I know. It isn’t that they are holier, it is that – they, in their flawed humanity, approach the throne of God with trembling. The Father is the Head…

  • Life Puzzle

    I run into this problem continuously. Always have since I was younger: people think I am a living contradiction. This is because I am extremely principled and hold myself to a very high standard of ethics and morality. Yet, my friends don’t always reflect my convictions.Most people seem to think “birds of a flock feather…

  • Alhamdulilah

    To God be the glory! Recall the Refugee family I came in contact with? Their son was incapacited following a workplace incident a year ago. He is in coma & lays in Hospice in the family’s apartment. Statute of Limitation was set to expire in 2 months. Family is new, not yet accustomed to America,…

  • Soyinka and Fela

    It is 3a- I made the mistake of consuming “Mak-Dona” last night and now my stomach is running. But believe it or not, this is cause for celebration – it means my stomach is no longer accustomed to poison. In the distant future, when I decide to take on a husband again- I want him…

  • Humanitarian

    Couple things Chouchou des Grands Lacs does not do: Drugs. Unhealed Men. Gluey Girlfriends… Basically, any human-manufactured stress. As for my speaking in third person? Oh, c’est pas la modestie qui m’ étouffe… (It’s not modesty that suffocates me). Also, I must say – I work with the coolest chicks ever. We have the very…

  • River Blindness

    I got ready in a record 17 min this morning from 7:18-7:35a. (Shower was 5 min, Lotion/Fit 5 min, Hair 5 Min, Coat/Keys 2 min. Makeup in car on the go.) This week, at work, we are celebrating the administration of 500 million doses of meds against river blindness, one of the leading causes of…

  • Ni-Hao (你好)

    If you take a native African Giraffe to China, it doesn’t suddenly become a Chinese Giraffe. It remains an African Giraffe in China. Why y’all wanna be Chinese Giraffes so bad?

  • Musk is Apartheid

    I take GREAT offense when the insinuation is made that I contribute to the division of races simply because I insist we openly discuss the “isms” of society. On the contrary, I have dedicated my entire personal and professional lives at ensuring, as was Dr. King’s dying wish, that man is judged not by the…

  • Sacred

    We must really be giving Nigerian Consulate because why are Rwandan Girls in my DM like “ntamu Naija sha chérie ngumpe aga pass?” (TR: Any Naijas available for me?) And I already know my Nigerian guy friends love Rwandan girls, since we classically tend to be soft spoken, they figure we’re ultra-submissive. LOL. Real Gangsters…
