Murder. Apathy. Writing.
Two Years Ago, A Rwandan Man in the community was arrested by the FBI for committing crimes against humanity, gravest of which: genocide. First I was enraged to know he had been hiding in plain, sight, big chilling, eating Pizza for 30+ years. Then I was enraged to watch his family rally, with ugly cheap…

Genocidaires Takedown on Thxgiving
Happy Thanksgiving. Thankful for life bla bla bla— Now that formalities have been set aside, let’s talk business! I recently received a call from someone I once knew (kuko njye iyo bizambye ngusiba nkutarigeze nkumenya)— whose silence/semi-defense regarding a recently arrested genocidaire was intolerable in my eyes.

Assassination Attempt
Barely 9am and I have already survived two assassination attempts. First, my liquid foundation spilled all over me as if to blind me, then the coffee shop got my order wrong as if to poison me. Dearest reader, I lead a strenuous life, victim of my charm, like Nigerian Rapper Skales; “Them wan hold me…

Ibaze nukuri…Every Hill and Every Mountain” Then he’d add commentary. “En fait, ibaze kwifata ukanga umuntu umuziza uruhu.” (TR: Imagine waking up &…

Kuregana, bibi!
Couple things can be true at the same time. On one hand, I never wish to minimize past loves, every love is beautiful in its time. On the other hand, I cannot re-write history… It is what it is… Most importantly, while I don’t wish for divorce to be my whole personality & generally prefer…

NAVIGATING LOVE & LUST
Most African men see divorce as a quick mishap in their journey, they take 1 day to mourn and the next day, you will meet them in town holding hands with a hot new thing. I admire their lack of shame. In contrast, African women, (to no fault of their own, based on societal stigma),…
