My Friend Got a Rich Man, La La La…
I spend a lot of time advocating against women looking for rich men because I deemed it to be a losing strategy as women can invest in being said rich men instead AND because I found love to be too pure to be diluted down to money matters. What a silly little girl I am……

92 Year Old President – Cameroon
Cameroon elections set to take place in 6 days. Sitting President, Paul Biya, is 92 years old, oldest president in the world, in power for the past 43 years and projected to win again. But nothing, NOTHING- offends me more than his wife’s wigs. In my most Camer accent, ”Maman, pardonnez”.

Had a Meeting with Obama this Morning

This morning, I watched a father find the bodies…

No more running into the biggest names in Black Mecca at random. Not gonna lie, Buckhead was sexy… You know what’s sexier though? Contributing to the development…

Holy Sabbath
I spend a lot of time complaining about the inconveniences of life but permit me to take a moment to honor the living God for surrounding me with so much love. I grew up with a father who calls me Princess, Darling, Chouchou, etc. and very rarely by name. Even his friends are like additional…

Future Haters
“Dear, if you’re going to use your mouth to stain my name, by say, calling me a ho for example; mind spelling it heaux?” I imagine my future haters confused, asking, “what?” “Oh! Kinda adds an air of sophistication. Don’t you think?” —- Also, everyday, “Olivia is stupid, Olivia is unAmerican, Olivia is impolite, Olivia…

The Economist
Guys, in another chapter of the unmerited favor of God, I was cited in yesterday’s article of the Economist, titled “Immigrants are narrowing the Black-White wage gap in America”, which proposed Africans as the new model immigrants.
