OBSESSION
It is a true I am obsessed with Africa, this I don’t deny. My ex-husband had an Andikra symbol tattooed on his arm along with a Ghana flag, took me three seconds to fall in love. (He was “the one” for that precise moment in time. Fun was had. I wish him well.) Later the…

ISLAM – NEW TREND?
الله أكبر It seems to me that Islam is becoming a bit of a trend. Suddenly seeing lots of new converts and lots of Mecca visits on my socials. And I kinda sorta like it… My problem with the West has always been: Morality is dead. Humanity is dead. God is dead. In the West,…

GIVE THANKS?
Today is Thanksgiving day. The Facts Are These: God Loves You. I Love You. It is a Blessing to be Alive. Not a Good Day to be a Turkey. Not a good day to be Native-American. Some of you reconnected with estranged families, it was awkward but you survived, bravo for the effort! Some of…

RIDE OR DIE? THE “FUDGE”?
Early this year, I received a message from a woman in Rwanda saying one of those almost-family member of mine had impregnanted her and refused to take accountability. (Key word: Almost Fam. There are no cowards in my blood line.) After investigating that her story was in fact true, I tried to reason with the…

DATING STANDARDS
It’s true I didn’t have standards before, this I don’t deny. This was due to a naiveté problem not a self-esteem problem. I thought all humans worthy of my love, I didn’t know I’d encounter brutes. I have 99 problems but self-esteem issue is a problem I don’t have. If anything I have inherited from…

BDAY GLOW
Before, when I was a village girl, I’d exhaust my suprahyoid muscle (throat) debating matters of society, now I chuckle at archaic thinking in a Mars-Era. Before, when I was a village girl, I’d pick up unknown numbers. Now, the level of womanhood I’ve unlocked, does not permit me to do such. Callers can utilize…
