Culture and Fashion Week: the trendsetter and the sheep

Should hand it to Afrobloggers - these topics have been properly varied. Shoved me a little out my comfort zone and got me learning enough things. So this is obviously Culture and Fashion Week and at first I thought I was boxed in by one perspective but the more I sat with it, the more …

100th Blog Post – Random facts…

About me 😌. If WordPress is counting right, this should be my 100th post. It's a little unbelievable that I have shown up here about 100 times. It's true some of those have been reposts (if that's how WordPress counts) but I thought I could share a little about me. I have seen this trend …

Biz and Tech Week : Let it marinate.

Living in a world of instant gratification has probably worn out our muscle of patience. We've conveniently forgotten that good things take time and have the idea that if something doesn't pick we should abandon it. Half baked plans and half hearted attempts. I think this is what keeps us rotating around then idea of …

Biz and Tech Week : It takes a village…

To do so many things, including promoting and growing your business. So - welcome to your marketplace. If you are producing something, unless it's totally private and for your personal enjoyment, you hope there will be consumers on the other end of it. I hope that description just lights the idea of social media in …

Biz and Tech Week: Conversations I should have had.

When is the right time to start telling children about money? Because I'm constantly thinking that I came to the conversation quite late. Like an active participation. Because I don't think you can make it beyond five years with no idea of money and how well it smooths life over. And at this age, it's …

Creatives: And the award goes to…

The never ending need for validation! Especially when you don't seem to be getting the recognition you deserve (you know what I'm writing about). Over the past three days, I've mostly enjoyed writing on knowing your why. Because some times this can be a lonely road and I know you usually start out for yourself, …

Creatives: Recreating the same old magic

I know that they say that there is no favourite child. Which, by the way, I hear with plenty of salt. Plenty of salt!!!!! (imagine me screaming this). And sometimes creations are considered children - you know the brainchild and whatever. But your creation is dear to you, you conceive it and most of the …

Creatives: Remaining Teachable

Who doesn't love a good story?! Here's a short brief to work with. (See me already trying out something new with the challenge🥳) There were three children who had to apprentice with a master. One was called Tidi (Lusoga for I don't know, the other Inddidi (I know) and Ndayega (I will learn). They all …

As much writing as possible

That is always the goal getting into every month. The past two weeks wouldn't really attest to that - missed a whole lot of posts because the weeks were crazy, things happening on top of each other that didn't leave much room to post. Forget that writing is the job. Insane in itself, that I …

How to finish well

Bringing this one out of the archives for today😅😅. This was my third post on the blog, a whole year and a half ago. But I think it holds some truth for the present. For a while in this season (the faith-beating season from about one post back) I have believed deeply that it is …
