Why I stopped sugarcoating my language on race

Hey guys! How are you doing? What’s new?

So I found it pretty difficult putting my thoughts on this into words. Lately, it’s been really tense all over the world, from the looming recession and pandemic to the protests part of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. A lot of my daily conversations have been about this.

And it made me realise how much I ‘dull down’ my language around race. I tended…

The struggles of creating during lockdown

Hey Guys, how you doing? How are you holding up?

So there’s a lot going on right now and it’s pretty scary. It’s also like nothing we’ve ever seen before, at least in our lifetime. Normally in times of trouble, I’d turn to writing or expressing myself in some creative way. But I’ve struggled with this so much. I’m finding it hard to create and it’s freaking me out!

But I’m not alone, so many of…

Hotel Series #Chapter 2 – Trust & Honour

Hey guys! How’s lockdown treating you? How are you feeling?

I promised you all and myself that I would continue this series, despite now being on lockdown and suffering from a lack of inspiration!

But I had this idea while in a hotel room during a work trip and started writing it then. I got a bit derailed with everything going on, but still it qualifies to be part of these bunch of blog posts,…

How to take an 'L' as a young adult

How to take an ‘L’ as a young adult

Hey Guys? What’s new? How’s your week been?

Yes, I know I’ve been MIA – let’s just skim over that and get right into it.

So, I’m sure you wondering what exactly an ‘L’ is. For those of you not down with the lingo, an ‘L’ stands for a loss. And as young people the losses we experience as we ‘adult’ tend to take a bigger toll on us and perhaps longer to recover from. So, I wanted to talk about the…

Why you don't have to monetise your joy

Why you don’t have to monetise your joy

Hello Everyone! What’s new? How’s it going?

Now I should honestly hang my head in shame because I’ve been gone for two months. But I’m back and was recently inspired by an article on the trap of turning your hobby into a hustle. And it made me think why so many of us (myself included) are making our hobbies a source of income and not just something we enjoy.

Hi Guys! What’s new? Happy New Year!

I can’t believe it’s the new year already. 2018 has literally flown by! Last year was a very interesting journey for me, so many highs than lows. Not because life became any easier, but simply because I chose to see it differently.

But onto the good stuff. Now, being the faithful person I am, I wrote this post before I reached 10,000 views, with the simple…

How To Deal With Burnout As A Young Adult

And so many of us go through this without knowing how to deal with it, especially as young adults.

Hi Guys! How you doing? What’s new?

So this topic has only recently become relevant to me as I’ve been experiencing it a lot myself these past few months. And that’s absolute burnout.

The tiredness that comes with having had thrown yourself into everything and feeling so finished at the end. And so many of us go through this without knowing how to deal with it, especially as young adults.

The Struggle: Reclaiming the Black Aesthetic

There are more positive black representations than ever that show our best and authentic selves, however the fight is not over.

*this first appeared on Brits & Pieces

It’s no secret that being black in this world is probably one of the hardest things to be. And being a black woman is even harder.

A long history of the oppression of black people painfully lingers in cities around the world. Many of us are still being treated in a way that is unjust and unequal compared to our white equivalents. In the media, black people…

Struggling to remain disciplined? Maybe you’re not committed enough…

Hey guys! What’s new? How’s your week been?

So I’ve been completely M.I.A. I know, I know. It literally goes against all the principles of my blog and my life in general. But I suppose that’s why I enjoy doing this. It shows me where I lack commitment no matter how disciplined I try to be. And it’s really important to know the difference, crucial to making anything succeed…
