Will you be my Galentine?
It’s Valentines Day!!! A phrase which, being perpetually single, I’m not ashamed to admit has caused a variety of negative reactions over the years. Including but not limited to; groaning, gagging, eye rolling, gnashing of teeth, avoiding going outside etc… In my second year of uni, for the very first time I was excited toContinue reading “Will you be my Galentine?”
Valentine’s Day Is Coming… You Don’t Want A Boyfriend
I’ve always been vehemently against the stigma of being single on February 14th, never more so than this year after one of the most horrid cuffing seasons in recent memories. Cuffing season at the best of times is akin to warfare – a game of strategy and planning. Unfortunately, Millennial Femmes I’m sorry to announceContinue reading “Valentine’s Day Is Coming… You Don’t Want A Boyfriend”

A friend of mine asked me this very question when I brought up the topic and apart from making me laugh it did also make me think…should we aspire to find ride or die relationships? I’m pretty sure that the first time I heard the term, Timbaland was rasping that he needs a ‘Ryde orContinue reading “Where are we riding and why do I have to die?”
The One that Got Away
🎵In another lifeI would make you staySo I don’t have to say you wereThe one that got away🎶 We all have regrets when it comes to past relationships, things we think we should have done differently, things we wished we’d said while we had the chance.

The POWER of Vulnerability
The ‘Strong Black Woman’ narrative is one I’m sure you all know off by heart. We live under the false notion that we Black women are able to handle whatever life throws at us because we are more emotionally robust, self sufficient, self sacrificing and apparently possess an inhuman ability to handle pain. In fact,Continue reading “The POWER of Vulnerability”
Argue With No One Else But You
As much as we’d love for our relationship to always be completely copacetic and devoid of any disagreements, with the way life is and stuff it throws at us we can sometimes feel like we’re stuck recreating John Legends’s ordinary people. Arguments to a certain extent are normal and it’s unrealistic to believe you andContinue reading “Argue With No One Else But You”
