GoodNightBirde…

I just listened to Nightbirde’s original song (real name: Jane Marczewski) titled “It’s Okay,” which she sang on AGT, a show she got on when she was battling cancer and had a 2% chance of survival. She believed that 2% wasn’t zero percent and it was something. She chose to be more important than the bad things that happened to her. She had a wonderful countenance despite her pains and her song…

I wanna be dramatic and title this post “The Encounter” but nope! There is a cool movie of a similar title based on the Indian Ocean tsunami that struck the tourist resort of Phuket, Thailand, at 7:58am on December 26, 2004… (Oops…I’m starting to be dramatic!) Well, this incident was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history as more than 230,000 people in fourteen countries lost…

Spell CASE in lowercase…!

To growth and discovery!

Sometime in early September I mentioned something about being just out of a storm (you can read the post here). Well, this time, I more or less experienced a hurricane, to put it very lightly. My dear esteemed readers, first of all, happy new year 2022! It sure has been a long while! Thanks to those who reached out to see how I was doing and tell me they missed my posts. It warms my heart to…

Never again is now…2

Continued…. The sound department just finished setting up when you get there. The time is quarter to four. You’re early. The ceremony starts by 4PM. Few people are already seated. You decide to seat mid-hall; it is more honourable to sit in the crowd and be invited to the fore. You’ll pretend your friend hasn’t told you anything about your place at the front of the hall. Just in case he…

Never again is now…

November 2020 The occasion is very important and you must be there. The goddaughter you’ve waited for all these years is finally here. Actually, you wanted a godson. You planned on telling people he is one of your many nephews, when you post on social media. They won’t know you are not even slightly related. This ‘nephew’ will be special to you, one you’d watch grow, whose questions you’d find…

Let’s talk about suicide, shall we?

Or, first… Sugar. You have tried to limit it in your diet as much as possible. But then there’s this drink sitting in the refrigerator you just opened winking seductively at you and you are seriously trying to rationalize taking it. You’d rather have water but—‘Just drink me already,’ it says impishly. One time would do no harm. You know you haven’t taken any in a long while. Your body is fit…

Hello!It’s been a long while… Yeah, I know. Weeks’ passed. I kept ‘thinking’ posts in my head—all the things I wanted to blog about, experiences I wanted to record— but never really got down to actually writing and publishing any. It wasn’t really that I didn’t have enough time, or better still, that I couldn’t make some time to write here. It was that I was in a mental space where the last thing…

Weekend Stories! It’s been a while I…

So, I woke up early this morning to make an important phone call as regards an appointment I should have about an hour and half later… I spoke to this person on the phone for about a minute and half; I exchanged pleasantries as usual and then spoke briefly about the reason I called. I knew I was still feeling sleepy but I needed to make that call before I went back for phase two of my sleep. In…

🤍Hair Growth Hair Growth Series: Work in Sections!

Yesterday, I washed my hair. And the activity reminded me of some time in the past. I had just moved into a new neighbourhood and found myself a new hairdresser. I had been there just once and wasn’t yet familiar. So, it happened that the next time I would go, my hair was due for washing but I was feeling really lazy and decided to go wash my hair at the salon… It was too late when I realized…

Hair growth, Hair goals Series: Protective Hairstyles

A week ago, one of the attendees of my recent HAIR GROWTH HAIR GOALS Class messaged me concerning her natural hair growth journey. Her hair is Type 4C and three years old, but the growth hasn’t been consistent, despite the fact that studies have shown that, all things being equal, the hair grows an average of 0.5inch every month. “Seems as if it’s not growing”, she said, in reference to her…

Hey Dear Reader! I held my Hair Class over the weekend and it was awesome! Yes, that’s where the title for this post came from. Lol. But that only accounts for one of the Awesome’s. Hahahah. The other awesome is for the fact that after the class and several lovely feedbacks later, it occurred to me since many would love some more HAIRducation (winks), I could start a series on the blog where I…

No thanks to a glitch I have no clue about, I lost my April’s post and it was so painful. Afterwards, I got so busy outside of here and couldn’t put up a post. I’m grateful to my dear readers, family, and friends who reached out to me during this time. Thank you for letting me know you care about what I do and write about! Eleven days of the month of May is gone already and I’m wondering what on…

WHAT KILLED THE CAT?! Part1 of 2

Have you ever gotten to a point in your life where you want to know anything and everything about anything or any subject or topic through any medium for no particular reason??! Well, maybe for some reason… even if minute. We just have this hunger about things that interests us and we dig and dig for information in all forms but through reading especially. And study, they say, never ends! This is…
