Will you be my Galentine?

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.

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?

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.
