Faith, Fashion and Politics
It is no secret to us that Jeff Bezos is ridiculously rich. I mean sickening rich. But I feel like I’d be wasting my time putting another anti-Bezos post on the internet since there are so many. You are all by now somewhat aware of the terrible working conditions and wages of Amazon staff and […]
MoreSo 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?

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 […]
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 […]
