    I have some big news: I’m moving to Clarkston, THE most diverse square mile in America; away from the Buckhead glitz and glam I have been accustomed to. 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…

    A Man is Dead. Human Life is Sacred. Gun Violence is Horrendous. May God receive him. I can never speak ill of the departed, my moral code does not permit. I, however, can speak ill of YOU. You randoms, pushing forced compassion down our throat. Conservative Christians popping out of nowhere to “denounce…”. Where y’all…

    Congolese Politician Mobutu is considered one of the most flamboyant African strongman ever. First, based on his policy of Authenticité, he rejected all colonial ties & renamed himself Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu wa za Banga. Translated as “The all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, goes from conquest to…

    Kemi Seba (seen below burning his French passport exclaiming “We are not Dogs!”- Passport he never sought to acquire he was born there) – is one of the most influential Francophone Black thinkers of our times. Instrumental in the fight against ridiculous french currency (CFA) that operates in 14 African nations — Get this, the…

    Swingers. Open Marriage. Libertinage…Africans love to look down on these modern sexual movements but that’s a tad bit more sophisticated than what y’all be doing…. MIC DROP. In too many African contexts: A is married to B but sleeps with her gym instructor C on the low. B too has a side lover, sister D…

    Up until now, I had no known enemies.I make it a point to live well with everyone. Always have. Even in High School, I was always the kid to ward off bullies, console the bullied, and circle back to befriend said bullies. Go to Ecole Belge de Kigali and ask. Lately, racists in America seem…

    Only thing I love more than an brilliant man is a brilliant woman. Imagine my delight when I heard that my Kenyan sister (whom we affectionately call Honorable Tacha) and I will be spending 3 days in a retreat with 41 women from across the nation, most of whom have aspirations for public office and…

    I have been friends with the Kaseba family for more than a decade and I can tell you, they are one of the most God-fearing families I know. It isn’t that they are holier, it is that – they, in their flawed humanity, approach the throne of God with trembling. The Father is the Head…

    Warm Greetings Friends and Foes: (Hano Mwese ni Karibu!) First things First, Imma need y’all to leave Gitwaza alone. We are inundated with ridiculous liberal messages on the daily that we cannot even critique freely by fear of being “canceled.” As such, when ultra-conservatives express their point of view, allow them to develop their arguments…

    It was the year 2018, I was a 1L, sitting in Howard Law’s library, as had Thurgood Marshall 85 years prior. TM is best known for the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education that desegregated the US school system. Needless to say, I delulu-ly felt big and bad… That day, I was minding my…
