Faith, Fashion and Politics
Let’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 […]
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?

So I tried to see which one I liked best. Frustrated, I had resolved […]
MoreI remember going with my family to watch the live action adaptation of the Lion King. It was great (neglecting the fact that they got rid of He Lives In You, which will forever slap), but it made me realise that my degree has essentially ruined this beautiful Disney classic; all I could see was […]
MoreWhy would anyone sit on the damp floor of a stop at Warwick University Bus Interchange (on a gloomy day) with some chalk and draw this? I don’t even think anybody at the stop noticed it and when I returned days later, it had faded away. As someone who’s into photography, it definitely caught my […]
MoreIn the western world, black women are at war against beauty standards that are designed to keep them on the out.
