Faith, Fashion and Politics
As most do, in celebration of Black History month, I find it of high importance to honour black people who made history and changed the very fabric of our society. It’s key that we remember the victories of black people outside of the grasp of colonialism and slavery. I once heard someone say that our […]
MoreI am a girly girl. I love getting dressed up and doing my makeup. But above all, my signature is my hair. I absolutely adore getting my hair done. It’s almost as if I can reinvent myself every 2-3 months, and I love it. However, one thing I do not love is the hair industry. […]
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’ve been MIA for a few weeks as we all have. A lot of it has mostly been trying to get my degree, my wellbeing, and my relationship with God in check – it’s been hard to adjust to say the least. But the coronavirus hasn’t just been a chance to start taking up new […]

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 […]
MoreIt’s no secret that I am head over heels in love with thrifting and sustainable fashion, so a few weeks ago, I went to an event with a friend which was part of the Change Festival. It was a follow up talk, titled Imagine Dressing Better. I assumed that it would be a panel-style talk […]
MoreIn the clothes haul, I made a cute statement about how I wanted to be transparent with you guys and that came with it’s challenges. So this week’s blog won’t be political, but it will be deeper than usual. One of the things I struggled with was settling into my degree – 2nd year was […]
MoreIs social media making us Basic™? I’m gonna go against the tides here and say no it most definitely isn’t. I mean, I’m guessing you think I’m crazy. “What about Lad-lads, VSCO girls and all other copy+paste internet personalities in between?” you would ask. What if I told you that none of these internet personas […]
