My D Journey

The weird thing about d is that you never realise it coming until its already there and has taken control.

I enrolled in to a drawing lesson in a cultural institution without thinking much of it. I would maybe meet people at best but whatever. And then I meet my drawing teacher; fun, open and really passionate. He made me realise I wasn't so bad at drawing after looking at my old work, and by the second day, I had drawn my first portrait. I was really proud of myself for the first time in a while. Soon enough, I bought a sewing machine to bring to life some of my fashion ideas.

By then I realised the desire to finish a portrait or a new style on my machine, grew stronger than the pull to stay in bed.

Why African Women need more credit

Quality family time is very important especially in our wifi technology filled generation But then family events though ugh! How exhausting. I live in Africa by the way and here, well, let's say everything is kinda done in proportions. Imagine any event you may organize be it marriage, baby shower etc. in your country, outside Africa, and multiply everything times ten. Literally everything and everybody is all over the place trying to put things together and the worst part is women literally do all the shit while men just seat around and just wait for everything to be done and on time or else they start complaining. I know this sounds like a cliché statement but hey women and especially African women need to be given more credit for what they do. Most of them hardly even complain or see how uneven their roles are compared to men. But what strikes me the most is that in spite of all these it is always very gratifying for them. Our mothers whether housewife, business woman or fo...
