The personal, the political, and pretty much anything else on my mind
Apologies for the lateness, I have been moving my things back into my house after 4 months of lockdown with my family. But over that time, I really did reflect on how my life has changed or been affected by COVID-19. I mean, other than the fact that I can’t see my friends, not much […]
MoreLet’s talk about how people are constantly capitalising off of your emotions. Like, they are pulling your heartstrings so that you’ll pull out your wallet, and that’s something you should be aware of, so I’ll take one for the team and tell you about it. Let’s start with lockdown. During this time, people began to […]
MoreI find that a lot of people who want to ridicule me for believing in God will start by degrading His title. Oh, isn’t it cute that I have a Sky Daddy? Well, I don’t think that God can really be understood in that sense at all. Yes, He’s a Father figure in the sense […]
MoreWe need to talk about PornHub. I mean, if I leave it there this is pretty awkward. Why the hell am I discussing PornHub on a Christian blog? I’m not necessarily talking about PornHub itself, but more the exploitative practices of porn production. I’m discussing this because trafficking, rape, sexual abuse and physical abuse is […]
MoreSo this was something I’ve been thinking about over the past few weeks and it’s such a vast topic to get into. When it comes to race, where does the church come in? Should POC avoid Christianity?

MoreSo I made this outfit: It took me 24 hours in total (6 hours over the course of 4 days) and I had no fancy equipment – just needles, threads and scissors. Honestly, it was that easy to make. But obviously, I can’t just leave it there. I’m going to talk about why making clothes […]
MoreNo seriously, you really don’t. If you needed a friendly reminder of that, here it is. First and foremost, I do support people using what they love to support and sustain themselves. It’s creative, it’s smart, it’s strategic. But when you’re doing 20 different things at once to get some cash on the side and […]
MoreI don’t just want this to be a sob story about how hard it has been to live as a black female. I want to give you a taste of how my existence in relation to race changes and develops from a hindsight perspective, knowing what I know now from the bible, academia and from […]
MoreThis is long overdue but I’m gonna address something that I get asked about all the time. “Is that your real hair?” This is a question that floats through the everyday conversation of my life. Every time I post a new picture, every time I go to the beauty supply store for some products – […]
MoreSorry it’s a day late this week guys, it’s been really hard to balance the blog and coursework during quarantine because of my laptop situation. But whether it’s late or finished 5 minutes before the promised time, the blog must go on. This is the first sustainable post I’ve made since I started the blog […]
