So I failed an Interview….
The week started rather anxiously waiting for what I thought was the job that was going to bring me back into employment. You see, I haven’t been interviewed in over 5 years I believe and the interview at the time was an internal process so I was more than prepared. This time around, I wasContinueContinue reading “So I failed an Interview….”
The Nesting Ground
As I recline into the nesting ground of my thoughts My eyes evade retiring for the night. It wonders and longs to be seduced by the blue lights under the covers as my ears perk at the passing sirens still parading while the city sleeps. If I could cradle and swing my scattered mind to sleep,ContinueContinue reading “The Nesting Ground”
I’m not superhuman and it’s ok
Not all superheroes wear capes, but every superhero has a duel identity living a normal life. I was trapped in a cycle of people pleasing, giving to people and the organisation but I was left empty and depleted mentally, emotionally and financially. This day marks 18 weeks since I left my job of 7 yearsContinueContinue reading “I’m not superhuman and it’s ok”
Beware of the Chameleon in sheep’s wool
Beware of the chameleon wrapped in sheeps wool for he comes with a seductive sleep when nights are lonely. He will be your footrest when your heels are dented with heaviness. When the days are cold, his breathe will gently warm your hands and his eyes will meet yours as the night slips into aContinueContinue reading “Beware of the Chameleon in sheep’s wool”
Awkward/ Phenomenal
Happy International Women’s Day! This is moment is to celebrate the force that God made…the AWKWARD BLACK GIRL. We stand in the corner scheming to become power houses like Oprah, have a swarve and wisdom like Whoopi Goldberg whilst doing the night shift of Deloris Van Cartier.

What if he has kids?…
The day of cupid is around the corner and I find myself contemplating one thing as a millennial dilemma (well, constructed in my head). What if my mature self leaves me with limited options? The older I get the more I know so naturally the more seasoned my options become, right? Then I encountered aContinueContinue reading “What if he has kids?…”

Something New…
I am just a story teller….walking with jazz to reconnect with her beginnings. To her first love. I fell in love with a genre that has evolved out of the sorrows of slavery and predated the times of slave ships on the African plains. The roots are deeper than generations I count on my fingersContinueContinue reading “Something New…”
River flow….
Some seasons have left me dry with no time for myself or others but in them I’ve learnt the importance of being alone in time with the King…it’s refreshing. The Living Water washing me daily until I am made over. Inspiration…long day Topic…life Opinion…stated [featured image: zjazjazoie]
Familiarity…
The couple sitting opposite were cold in their familiarity. He sat beside her, gazing at his ink stained paper through his blocked spectacles, it was black. Her glasses were framed with crimson red which gave a tint of youthfulness to the black and greys she chose to clothe herself in. 5 minutes of silence could’ve persuadedContinueContinue reading “Familiarity…”
