    Dearest reader, as you very well know, previous suitors, while of high caliber, were found to be incompatible. However, because wonders shall never cease, a new love interest has risen. He is a young African Professor, that alone makes me be ready to risk it all… Though I seem to have overdone the “hard to…

    I received the below question and I will attempt to answer to the best of my ability. So help me God. “For someone who absolutely values their privacy but falls in love with someone who is under circumstances beyond his own doing is in the public eye- what advice would you give this person?

    People often make the incorrect assumption that my sisters and I are super independent because we were raised by a single father. The truth is, mother was a powerhouse. She was able to buy a house before she was 30 which was an incredible feat then (and now). In fact, dad tells the story of…

    There is a proverb in my country that says “Inshuti musangira akabisi n’agahiye” loosely translated to true friends are those with whom you share cooked and uncooked meals (that life serves you). Diesha and I met in DC in Law School back in 2017. We’d sit daily in the library after class to revise and…

    Very few people have the capacity to be fair. They want to help women because they happen to be women. They want to help blacks because they happen to be black. If one day for example, the minority group they advocate for, was to take over; they wouldn’t mind. So then, what troubles them isn’t…

    I wish to preface my message by saying Impundu Impundu! (Exclamations of well wishes for newly wedded couple.) It is not about them per se. They have simply ushered us into a larger conversation that is: “African men misbehave because African women do not hold them accountable”. I do realize I am a badly-positioned vessel…

    Dearest Reader, this exercise has come to an end. Thank you for being with me all along. The goal was not so much the exploration of my love life. I was interested in demonstrating how not to allow one occurence, one stressor, one human; halt your life’s progression. At this juncture, if it pleases, I…
