    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.…

    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).

    If you are a young African woman working in Africa, and God has elevated you so that you find yourself with certain decisionmakers, good luck being respected. This is not even sexism.
