When I came back home, she was lying on my bed actually the bed I share with my younger sisters and she looked so at peace more like so at home and that was when it dawned on me. This is real. Everything is real.  He had called me on Thursday or was it Tuesday and he’d repeated the exact same things my mom had relayed to me the Saturday before but I didn’t take it seriously.  No. I bent lower to observe her in her vulnerable state and oh my, she’s pretty and this is true.  My brother is getting married!!!!! She opened her eyes and somehow I couldn’t look away. She smiled and sat up. “I’ve been waiting for you” But why?  Three hours later I’m still pondering why? I should be happy. I am. Am I?  I’ve never been close to my brother, we’ve never had a conversation that lasted more than 3 minutes maybe it’s because of the age difference and now I feel like she’s taking him away from me. Away from us. Am I selfish? Am I crazy? How do you just leave your loved o

So I’ve been dying to ask, what’s with Africans and body art?? Last year, I got this piercing and my parents kept asking why and what value it added to my life, lol. They didn’t tell me to take it off though until I went to church with it and it became the “gossip” for the week. Somehow, people who thought my parents were blind had to draw their attention to it and my dad made me take it off. I  was 17 then (just before my 18th birthday 🙄🙄). Last month, I pierced again thinking I’m old enough now (apparently I’m not), I went to church and the same people did the same thing again. I’m not going to even start delving into the “judgemental and hypocritical” part but what really is their issue with piercings?? I love piercings and I can’t get them because of society? These people who are so quick to judge you by your piercings and body art, the length of your skirts, the kind of tops you wear do not pay attention to how your doing emotionally, psychologically and o

Hello everyone, I’ve been working on some things lately. You know, making money moves and stuff and I want to share this with you all. Firstly, I started an accessory store on Instagram and so far I’d say it’s been going fine (y’all should check it out) I plan on working on many more projects and as a young entrepreneur they’re so many hurdles that may come (they always do), so I’m going to be sharing these situations and how I handle them and I’d also reach out to you to get valuable information from those who are willing to share. @shop_hera Secondly, I’m thinking of infusing a little of lifestyle blogging (in between). What do you guys think?  I’m so excited to be on this journey with you all. Lastly, I’d be posting up articles from guest bloggers/writers. If you are interested feel free to leave a comment or send an email. Lots of love from this end. Have an awesome weekend.

I am a very “intellectual”  person, I tend to surround myself with people who “add” something to my life, people who I can learn from. In May, I went on a field trip with my colleagues and one morning, a few of us sat down around a table and an interesting topic came up, RELIGION. I’m a Christian, no doubt but I’m very open to learning about other religions. I mean, whatever you believe in, there must be a reason why and I want to know that reason. I want to learn. However, I have realized (I didn’t really take note of this until the field trip) that many Christians do not even want to hear of any other religion and I’m saying this because on that day, the Christians around that table didn’t want to hear a word about other religions and I really do not think that is right. What you think is wrong might be right to other people and I’m not saying you should drop your opinion, I’m just saying that you should at least listen to what the other person has to say and how sure are you
