Back to the Basics
I haven’t written anything in a while mostly because I just haven’t been in a place to do so mentally. The last time I did however, what was meant to be an exciting return to something I loved, was met with major scrutiny from someone I cared about. I felt like a kid running home to show off her grades only to be told “you could have done better.”

Procreation; our incessant obsession and the insanity it breeds.
Thoughts on my mind : I wrote this a while back and forgot to share, maybe now is the time to. It’s no news that our society is obsessed with procreation, particularly from married couples and women. And often women are the center of this attention and blame if it doesn’t happen within a certain time frame.

#Covid19 | The politics of pretense, P.R and where we are now
Thoughts on my mind… First things first, these are just thoughts on my mind and I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but it’s important for us to open this up for discussion and maybe together we can create some solutions through dialogue. I’m paranoid, anxious, stressed , unsettled always on edge and mentally in a dark space because of all the deaths caused by COVID19.

50% + 1 – The Power of Your Vote
Just like that, another 4 years is here and we’re heading back to the polls. This time, I’ve silently observed events unfolding from the sideline and it’s been an interesting watch. The one thing that’s remained constant is that politicians will do just about anything to get /hold on to power.

Rape, False Allegations and where we go from here.
I woke up this morning to my mentions buzzing because of an issue of a false rape allegation that unfortunately pushed a young man to commit suicide. Before I could get all the details of this case(and there’s still a lot I don’t know) , I was expected to make a statement to prove where I stood. I’ve never understood this because I can’t fathom why anyone would think it’s something I’d condone. Unfortunately I’ve come to understand that, for many, taking a stand for women automatically means one against men; and so you’re constantly needed to prove that it isn’t the case. And this may lead you to make…

Women in Politics| To be or not to be.
Thoughts on my mind. Sometimes I feel for women in politics. To climb to the top they have to adjust to a world that’s not so accommodating, friendly or even interested in them, and the only way they may survive is to lose a part of who they are.

Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang’s nomination ; and the importance of Representation.
Thoughts on my mind…. It was for the simple FACT that a BLACK MAN with African roots was now the president of one of greatest nations in the world. When Barak Obama was announced as president, it wasn’t his credentials or policies that made waves. When Meghan Markle became the Duchess of Sussex it made waves because she became the first BLACK royal in British history( although some historians have argued otherwise). It was the same for Hilary Clinton when she won the nomination for the Democratic Party, even though she didn’t win, her nomination still made history Now their politics, character etc is of course debatable and that’s fine.

Dear #GirlDads, make the world a better place for your daughters.
After the shocking death of NBA Star Kobe Bryant the hashtag #girldad started trending when Elle Duncan, from the American broadcaster ESPN, shared her encounter with him and how proud he was to have his daughters, (read here ) the hashtag #girldad started to trend. Kobe had four children, all girls and no boy, before he died; and for an NBA legend of his caliber so many willed him to have a son who’d inherit the “gene” as they put it. However he never missed an opportunity to tell everyone how proud he was of his daughters especially Gianni who he often boasted about having “the gene”. The trending hashtag…

The politics of promises, deceit and a starving country.
Dear all, I hope this piece finds you well. I haven’t written in a while, because as my friend Malaka Grant says ” you’ve been through this type of fire before,seen the trash publishing these articles digs up and you ask yourself qualifying questions to calculate if the risk and annoyance is worth it”. And as I mature it always isn’t worth it, but every now and then I’m moved to because I guess it’s just who I am.

On Menzgold,a rant.
On Menzgold. There are so many stories surrounding this issue that I wouldn’t even know where to begin; however I’ve seen so many people blame the victims of this investment for being greedy and not heeding to BoG’s warnings, and that’s what I want to address. Here’s the thing, Menzgold ran a pretty good media campaign.
