    I come (not) in peace. Why y’all marry & act like you’ve discovered the cure for malaria? To couple oneself is perhaps the easiest thing there is. The male to female ratio sits at an almost perfect equilibrium: 4 billion men, 4 billion women. For every village boy there is an equivalent village girl and…

    Our company’s mission is the alleviation of human suffering so, we travel a lot. I always submit visa applications for my boss and I. Same Blue Passport, same letters, same info. She 80% of the time gets her visa way before me with less encumbrances. This has happened not once, not twice, not thrice. I…

    Dearest Reader, As the year nears its conclusion, allow me to take a moment to pray for you. May your body be free of addictions. May your heart be free of hatred. May you have the “grandeur d’esprit” to plead with those you wronged and the humility to forgive those who wronged you. May the…

    Oumou Sangaré and the Wassoulou music genre of Mali is one of the most magical sounds I’ve heard. I am never entirely sure what people mean when they say women then were more “tolerant” (of the intolerable of course), than women today. Which women? Dad’s mom who told me herself that in the 50s when…

    Depression is a normal occurence that happens to all of us every now and then. If you still attach stigma to depression: you’re a village boy/girl… I don’t know what else to tell you. My own depression episodes are almost comical. I get so angry. I think to myself. TF? I’m too sexy for this…

    War Apologetics. Ignorant Mfers. Who do not cease to clap in the face of carnage/bloodshed. Directly or indirectly.In the name of development, necessity, or whatever the argument of the day is. You know yourselves! I hope you keep that energy when we bury your father, mother and CHILD! Fucking monsters. All of you. I wish…

    While gluttony is put on display in “My 600lbs life”, children starve in north Darfur. The fact that famine is not a medieval concept like leprosy quite literally keeps me up at night. One day, in my early teens, a homeless child knocked on our home in Rwanda. This is an unfortunate common occurence when…

    But for my deference to the infallible God, I’d stand tall at the marketplace and shout my disdain for most of you. Modern day vampires, blood sucking demons. How long will you rejoice at your brother’s bloodshed? Murder is not only seizing arms and dismembering organs. Murder is witnessing such, clapping and doing tik tok…

    Trust I love juicy harmless gossip like anyone else. But some of you DWELL in low vibrational land. The only life project you wish to know about is that of our ovaries. Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday; they will not ask about the progression of my book, or the work we are doing in Africa or…
