Once upon a time, I was married. Two years and three months later, I left that marriage. I can chalk it down to the reality of it as opposed to the expectations set by our public declaration of love in the form of a wedding and grand 500 guest reception. During said reception, I […]
For those of you who have watched Scandal – Shonda Rhimes’ political drama that aired its final episode this April, we all rooted for Olitz in the beginning. Despite the fact that she was the mistress, we rooted for Olivia and Fitz’s love. And as the series developed, we learn that Mellie – the First […]
Personal space; a concept unknown to and misunderstood by many. It simply means not to stand uncomfortably close to someone, touching them when they don’t want to be touched or literally breathing down their necks. It’s irritating. And uncomfortable. And so very annoying! Girls and women suffer the most when it comes to personal space, […]
I love the internet; it’s my source of information, knowledge, opportunities and of course, my one stop shop for creeps and weirdos looking to score a night of passion. No, not necessarily Tinder (I abhor the app!) but just the good old internet. Twitter, Instagram, my personal blog and email. As long as my […]

It’s even stranger how the draw heavily on African art as inspiration for their visual aesthetic and yet, no shows in any part of Africa. Why draw so heavily from a continent they have continued to avoid touring? Is […]
“I wanna thank God for working harder than the devil.” That’s a line from Elevate, one of Drake’s songs from his latest release Scorpion. A double disc album, with one side A containing Hip Hop and RnB on side B. I’d say it’s a masterful piece of work but I’m a die hard Nothing Was […]
BeyoncĂ© wasn’t playing when she said she breaks the internet; top two and she ain’t number two. Yes, The Carters were trending again over the weekend. They just dropped a surprise album; finally that joint album we’ve been waiting for since 03 Bonnie & Clyde. With the bold words ALBUM OUT NOW displayed at the […]
It’s always in the little things. That is what makes a world of difference in how we treat each other, especially as significant others. Gentlemen, when your girl is talking to you, listen to her. Pay attention to what she’s saying. The same applies to girls; listen to your man when he talks to you. […]
