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…

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…

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…
