The Race Is Toughest Before Its End …

Being a teacher gives me the privilege to witness human behaviour at close range. It is a humbling experience and sometimes has me wishing myself super powers to prevent the young people in my charge to disappear down life’s rabbit holes, but I have come to see that despite my deepest desires, there is little...

Social Media and the Black Identity …

History has made being black into a ‘thing’. A polarising existence that seems to be perpetually at odds, to be defended, to be questioned, to be probed and to be constantly (self)aware all the while wrapped up in stereotypes. The black body has long served as a canvas on which some of the darkest moments of human existence...

I am not particularly good at sex **** I don’t have to tell you that I am an introvert. I don’t have to tell you that I am reserved, that I am awkward, for, you either already know it, or you will discover it or simply will never get it. So when I mention it...

Lets Celebrate …

Waking up 20 minutes before your alarm. That cup of coffee that turned out just right and that smile in the mirror that says ‘I got this’. 6 green robots in a row, the 100 bucks you bust in a jacket you haven’t worn in months and the mall parking ticket you don’t have to...

… More Friendzone stuff …

Oh but the Friendzone is a beautiful struggle, hey. It is an alluring pain and it can get it, right? A venus fly trap that you either buzzing bug-eyed to get into or get out of. Some people say they are not really bothered by the FZ phenomenon and don’t understand the ‘sudden’ hype. I,...

Man Flu …

Easily mistaken by many women as the common cold, man flu is something much worse. It is a virus engineered by scientists of the most sinister kind to attack the immune systems of men rendering them as fit as a corpse. It’s like almost dying for a few days. And I can already hear the...
