When you take time to think on it, the entire franchise is troubling! I’m the least domesticated of us all; so, trust me, I fully understand the appeal in having live-in house help that is paid $20 to $50 /month; to cook, clean, babysit, etc. I do understand that I cannot judge Rwandan society using…

Met the coolest Rasta today. My shoes had this metal thing that kept hurting my feet. (I did get them for $16 from Shein.) The Rasta noticed and said he was an arts and craft vendor & had some Masai sandals he could let me borrow ‘till I finished my errands in the mall. Now,…

Grandma asked about my sisters and their husbands. I went on to tell everyone’s business as usual. I told her about mamy and Chris. About how they play water pranking games. They leave home for work and whoever gets home first pranks the other at the door with water guns. Grandma: “Areee! Nawe ukumva muzajye…

My favorite thing about being in grandma’s house are the family archives. I saw dad in his 40s with a whole moustache and sis in her tomboy/timberland era. Then – my own wedding albums – awkward… I asked grandma should we discard them? “Reka Reka- Iri n’icumbi ry’urugo. Uri intwali ya papa kandi waduhaye ibirori…

**2 minutes upon my stepping on Rwandan soil** Passerby (while seazing my one braid): You find these beads in your head to be beautiful? (Before I could formulate an intelligible response, she continued…) I once attended a church program and a person had been demon possessed and once they delivered her, they found the spirits…

Telling people who to vote for is like suggesting what color undergarments they should wear. Red, blue…None? Let people be. Dems are convinced Reps are irrational demagogues with diluted IQs, inherited fortunes, skinny blondes wives and a spanish-speaking nanny named Maria whom they flaunt at tea parties.Reps are convinced Dems are extreme liberals who indulge…

Today is a fun day! Just became $250 richer. (Follow @zikora.media.arts + Tosinger) – They are doing fantastic work elevating the consciousness of our people! I came to America some 15 years ago, when I was 16. America provided greater economic freedom but America was never a means in itself. I was born here but…

(“Ikindi nabamenyesha nuko amazi agera muri douche ndetse anashyushye gusa biba mgombwa gutegereza ntago amazi ashyuha uwo mwanya”) Uncle, we wish to confirm hot water is now available in bathrooms but one must wait a short time for it to heat up before showering. Hello Friends —- Gearing up for vacation, where I will once…

Professor is losing points. The man went on a vacation with his boys. The audacity. I mean how will he survive? If I, the air he breathes, is miles away. He is posing a security risk to the nation, I don’t like that. Also, he was to at least pretend his boys were making him…

I attend a majority Nigerian-American church located in Atlanta, I love my church! I have met some of my favorite people there that have carried me physically and spiritually. The Pastor is a medical doctor by profession and so is my mentor, Dr. Ify, she is a pediatrician. Since, by the grace of God, we…
