16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM

I have not written in a while as I was busy preparing for exams and even before that I felt like what I was writing wasn't up to standard (mine ofcourse). Even so I must say it is good to finally get into the swing of things again. This being said, currently in South Africa …

#Sexforgrades: It is that simple

Very valid read and happening I believe in most patriarchal societies.

Musings of a Growing African Girl

A few months ago in Toronto, I had dinner with a Nigerian male colleague. As we sat to enjoy a spread of delicious Cantonese meals, our conversation drifted towards women’s rights and practices in the workplace. With glee in his eyes and admiration in his voice, this colleague told me about how young girls in his former workplace in Nigeria were often harassed by their male bosses and were at risk of losing their jobs if they did not oblige the men who owned all the power.

HANNAH CORNELIUS

This morning I decided to write a post after I have seen a video that explained what happened to Hannah Cornelius on the 27th of May 2017. She was raped and murdered and left to die. This story haunts me. And it sickens me, to think that people can do this to another human being. …

DOUBT MEANS DON’T

These past couple of days a lot has been going through my mind. Emotionally it was not a good time. The mind is such an important tool, when it comes to dealing with ones emotions. The mind can be very selective about what it wants to remember and when. For me when I experience pain …
