    I can imagine humans did not have this problem in the stone age. The population was way smaller and there was no social media, they were instead busy discovering fire. Now there are 8 billion of y’all and y’all are real cute. It is quite natural to fall victim to the comparison game. Though, BE…

The later group will ALWAYS be disappointed because humans will always err. My father is a very happy man, God bless his soul.…

    Though I schooled in Rwanda until I was 16, I never studied Rwandan history in school. I did, however, learn all about greek mythology and the Sun King of France (Louis XIV). Ladies and Gents: TA-DA, colonization. In all fairness, I attended a small Belgian school. But Still! Somebody needs to hire me to draft…

    Reason #1212 I don’t do humans: They are vapid and unreliable.They talk too much but say little.They are judgmental and void. They ask much but barely give. They have no tact & know no civility.

    I don’t believe in astrology. I don’t understand how it works; it isn’t science, it isn’t art. It is the “proposition that information about human affairs and terrestrial events may be discerned by studying positions of celestial objects.” If I was to categorize it, I would say it is witchcraft. My brain has been conditioned…

    Unlike Wakanda, Timbuktu is an actual city in Africa, located in Mali. I don’t know much about Mali other than the basics: West-African nation, former French colony, borders Senegal (which everyone knows, I am obsessed with.) I also know Sidiki Diabate, whose music I love, is a Malian who comes from a long line of…

    Happy Labor Day Friends! Today we recognize the Labor Movement that successfully advocated for reasonable wages and better working conditions in the US. I slept in, it was lovely; but my thoughts are on DRC mining sector and Chinese sweatshops that are infamous for child labour and hazardous conditions. Special shoutout to our very own,…

    Dopamine levels elevated, I’m still high from seeing my family. Like many African families, our family occupies nearly all continents. This is the tale of many African families who leave to seek greener pastures. (Though we are working hard to combat brain drain and are returning slowly.) In African family structures there is no distinction…
