    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. I did not respond. They left a vm,…

    Sensible souls, forgive me as I frustrate your spirit. Sex is a MEGA taboo in Rwandan culture. It isn’t something you talk about. It is something you figure out as you go. How terribly dangerous… In 1 week I will be 33. I have never been on birth control. I am ultra weary of pharmaceuticals.…

    Im not in the business of covering & hiding. I very much believe in exposing people’s shameless behavior. Check this out. I am on a Board of a Non Profit that serves domestic violence survivors. We wanted to create a promo ad to generate more engagement. I recommended a videographer guy I know, spoke so…

    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…

    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…

    They will say “here goes Olivia, complaining about Marriage again…” I beg, I beg, I am innocent of all they accuse me… I write about what I observe in society, the moment the institution becomes equitable, le chapitre seras clos,(the chapter will cease). What I have observed is this: if you like, as a woman,…

    At any given moment, in my childhood home, in early 2000s Kicukiro, one could hear loud, unprovoked, theatrical recitations from dad “I have a dreammm that Oh!Oh! One Dayyy– Eh! Eh! Eh! Ibaze nukuri…Every Hill and Every Mountain” Then he’d add commentary. “En fait, ibaze kwifata ukanga umuntu umuziza uruhu.” (TR: Imagine waking up &…

    Some people have the art of overdramatizing. Every Tuesday, they will narrate their very normal life inconveniences as a 10 part-series Greek tragedy. They will first tell you their parents never loved them & you will cry with them. As you reach over to grab tissue, they will add that their teacher abused them, their…

    Being a “first” is always sexy but you know what’s sexier? Jesus-style-service: feet washing/ prostitute mixing/ tax collector vibing. What will my political campaign look like? Like this. Nothing will change. You will still see me, unprovoked, wearing random sunglasses at midnight in the streets of Nairobi. You will still see me, unprovoked, in New-York…
