Ride on Sista! I will not belittle the content of this video by adding more. Selah!
I saw this story on CNN two days ago and it brought tears to my eyes. It simply shows the power of a big heart and the difference one phone call makes. It would be silly of me to tell you the story of Sibahle Tshibika all over. Its all in the video, watch it [...]
I was thinking about you on my way home
I have no idea why but I truly wanted to give you a hug
And whisper in your ears that you are not flawed
You are you and I’m me, and while we work daily

Watching the BBC Africa Season on BBC 4 was a great relief to episode 2 of Welcome To Lagos. From African School to the Tutu Talks to Africa in Pictures to Rock n’ Roll Years, which focused on the ever evolving state of African music was brilliant. My only beef was the fact that they [...]
Reading the first few pages of Andre Brink’s , A Fork In The Road, I found myself wiping tears from my eyes, though they was no plan to cry or any notice that the tears would come streaming.

If anyone has said anything this week that really made an impression on me, it would have to be my mum. I had a funny experience and as usual, spoke to her about it. Now, believe me when I say, my mum knows me. She knows my tongue and how well my fingers can do [...]
Life sure comes in seasons and sometimes, you feel like the one you are in will never end. But it will, just like the others came and now they are gone. I cannot get enough of this song, so I am going to share because it has kept me for months and [...]
Last year, my father told me he would have no problem if I married a man from Pakistan. He is all game and it would be cool, he said. Back then, I laughed at his desperation to see his 30-year-old daughter and first child at that get married. Lately, I have revisited his words and [...]
I have never really taken to Eryka Badu or her music. There are tracks of her different albums I thought sounded good but this new video which has got a few people raging like lunatics and frigging hypocrites, has got me thinking in a different way about Miss Badu.
I am not one for showing it [...]
