I admire those who have a designated time to wake up, get ready and, eat breakfast daily. Because for me, I milk time ‘till I can’t no’ mo’… I have been guilty of taking a meeting or two in bed and I DEFINITELY don’t dress up unless I’m going out. If I do go out,…

I have held a number of jobs in my life. I worked at Walmart and I have done lyft/uber; I have also worked at a University and a Fortune 500. Surprise, Suprise: I hated every one of these jobs… A year ago, I was blessed to transition full time to a non-profit organization & I…

**Calls Daddy on a Random Thurs. AM**Dad: You know, I wanted to call you earlier but I said “these are working hours, reka nekuba nkaba daddy badasobanutse banze kurekura abana.” (Let me not be like the overbearing parents that refuse to let children breathe and explore). Dearest Friends; today, I woke up with twegerane on…

Religion is sacred AND so is Humans’ right to pursuit of happiness. On one hand, the Free Exercise Clause protects citizens’ right to practice their religion as they please. On the other, all persons are guaranteed, equal protection of laws. So then, discriminating against a person, based on who is in their bed, is illegal.…

I called Prof around 6am when I woke up. This man was out of breath, picked up to tell me he was jogging. This is the type of dedicated lovers we’re dealing with in 2024 and beyond. One shady behavior and we’re out. Ladies: (1) Say no to men-child who seek a mother in you.…

Ikindi, abantu barareba cyane hano kw’isi, ntuzatungurwe. Nabonye uri keza nka maman, gusa hano ubwiza ntiwabuhahisha kw’isoko. Gahunda ni: umenya kuvuga, tukwigisha imibare! Ukuntu ibintu bimeze, Kamala aramutse atabaye umugore wambere…

I have always been a natural leader of sorts: at school, at work, muri quartier, in the choir (let not my red hair fool you, I have been in church since birth). The truth is I take lots of naps, so I always have lots of ideas and lots of energy to execute them. Visionaries…

Ever heard of a purity ring? My sister used to wear one so I wore one too. It’s pretty common in Christian American circles. The idea is you are committing to chastity until marriage. No one verifies, it is an honor system between you and God. Typically, women in these circles marry very young :…

I am told some are uncomfortable by my supposed oversharing. Dear, why the self flagellation? You musn’t look, you know… ——————- Burya ngo hari abatashimira ko nsa nuvuga cyane. Ngo ubuzima bwanjye mbushyira hanze cyane. Nshuti, kuki wiyicisha urubuzo? Wafunze amaso nturebe, mukunzi?

Brethren, If only you knew what the “abroad” they threaten you with truly looks like, you’d pity us. Allow me to share some insights: We are grateful for the opportunity to come and amass these riches. Next time though, don’t let anyone intimidate you, it ain’t all that. XOXO
