Faith, Fashion and Politics
So my first ever blog post on Pepper was called “I am not Fat” and it discussed the unhealthy language surrounding weight. But I now want to talk about another aspect of the topic; I think it’s really disgusting how we perceive health and the ways we strive to attain health. As a Christian, I […]
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?

MoreI’m starting off the new year with a bang. or a kick. or a jump. (Some form of exercise at least.) I’m going to Clubhouse Xtra, an event running from the 2nd-4th January set up by Christians in Sport to equip sportspersons to share their faith with their team members and honour God with their […]
MoreIn Warwick Arts Centre, I was sucked into the world of Lanaire Aderemi (also known as Verse Writer.) I payed my £11, expecting what I had always seen – someone at the front, reading their poetry to me for an hour. But this transcended poetry. Aderemi’s poetry was a hybrid between spoken word, acting, music, […]
MoreIn my introductory post, I told you all that I’m a Christian. And when I said Christian, I don’t mean “oh, I was christened as a child”, or “I go to church”. Yes, I was raised in church but I didn’t believe any of it for a very long time. I mean that I (by […]
