Heart On Display

 I have never been good at being cunning.  I was always the most unpretentious, unassuming person in a room. This has earned me more foes than allies. Notice I say allies not friends. The friends that I have are few and far between but they are true. I have always worn my heart on my sleeve. I like going through life wearing my heart on my sleeve but the world doesn't like that. It makes you the easy target. Everyone seem to want to take a dig at you knowing that you will always react honestly, openly. I have never been good at diplomacy, I started learning to be diplomatic especially in my words after secondary school and I can't say that I am good at it yet. I often say things too bluntly, too honestly and I'm usually too direct in my approach.  And because of all these, I have never been able to pretend to like someone I do not. My feelings are always so clearly visible on my face even when I manage to tamp down the words. I have always felt everything deeply. Loved de...

WOMEN!!!

Women are strong, women are industrious, women are loving, women are nurturing, women are the embodiment of all that is good and great in the world. Even the most outstanding man was carried for 9 months in the womb by a woman, given birth to by a woman and raised by a woman. While men have brute strength, a woman's strength is her will!

The world try time and time again, like the persistent onslaught of a waterfall against a rock to break the woman and call her weak! And yet, the woman walks with her head high and until she opens her mouth to tell you the things she has survived, you would be under the mistaken assumption that she's never had a hard day in her life! Female Genital Mutilation went on for generations before it was abolished (still ongoing in some places) causing inexplicable pain to women for gen...

This cream will bring your colour out!

     I have always admired the dark skin that is peculiar to Africans. And am a strong believer of 'the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice' but not everyone seem to think that. Interestingly i like light skinned people too. My best friend is very light. However, she was born that way. For those of us that are in the confused skin colour group- not 'black', 'chocolate' or 'fair - its more tricky for us.      You cannot refer to me as dark, however, if you describe me as' that fair girl', you get the side eye. So, i don't know if its the struggle to belong to the light skin group that precipitates bleaching. Yes, we know, call it by any other name - toning, bringing out your colour (as if the colour was one of your internal organs), bleaching is what it is.     In recent times, awareness on the dangers of bleaching had been spread, and the ones not past the stage of reason have become weary of it. And so, the cream peddlers h...
