One Time Conversations

-
Looking tired and looking forward to having an affair with my bed for at least 3 hours max to get back to my energetic myself, there she was smiling and glowing in her favourite colour yellow. At that moment I wanted to be my energetic self but I ended up saying, ‘Hey’ with a short lived smile. Without paying any attention to her introduction, her love for my hair gave me some sort of energy to have a conversation with her. And the black me started with a small talk conversation and the awkward silence was creeping and a part of me wanted her to say, ‘it was nice seeing you again’ , but I decided to know her a little because her dreadlocked hair made me want to know how she defined herself in the Rasta Farian World. I started with something simple, ‘What do you do’. The moment she said psychology, I wanted to be funny and ask her if she read minds but I thought that maybe she was tired of that joke. The way she opened up about not attending lectures because she felt like it was stupid to listen to someone who is reading from a book or piece of paper, ‘give me the name of the book and I will read by myself.’ Liberated minds, being blunt were the characteristics of my generation Rasta and I felt a connection. As always women talk about relationships and yeah sometimes the responses are usually depressing every time I ask but her response was different.

“I am single at the moment but I prefer long distance relationships because I don’t want to be suffocated and think of things to do every time to make our relationship amazing so yeah.”

A lot of questions flooded my mind, I mean what if the guy cheated on her and what if he is not what says he is and she responded with two important words, ‘Loyalty’ and ‘Adventure’. In my mind I’m like I’m too black to do long distance relationships as long as a man has feelings and needs satisfaction. Out of nowhere she comments on my clothes and yeah it was too black for me not to say that it’s not my favourite colour when she asked me. And yes her favourite colour was yellow and it explained her bubbly personality and how open she is...she was like a grenade you would want to keep. Getting more interested in what she was all about we went our separate ways unconsciously and she just said bye and I couldn’t ask for her number so that we can hang out more.

You can only meet once with the person who strikes you as the most amazing person.

The World Of Emojis

-
Welcome to season 2 lockdown It's so funny how emojis help us go through life and feel close to our loved ones. Tapping into the world of no emojis we used kkkkk and this annoys me to the bone because it feels so fake and not leaving the LOL. It didn't feel too real. I literally felt like a slay queen. Today I have time to share why I use a certain emoji. Let's get to it 😊 The blush face I normally use it to show my interest in talking to someone and I use it at the end of the sentence to keep the person I'm talking to engaged and feel special. Sometimes I use it when someone says something cute and it tickled my fancy. When I'm feeling like chucking bars, I use it to annoy my opponent...It works all the time. 😋 Yummy face. This one has two different meanings in my world. When you send food that looks so good, I use that emoji or when I post something I cooked and I feel good about it. On the other hand because of the introduction of this statement:

Zimbabwe @ 40 :A Letter To The Freedom Fighters

-
 Victory is sweet. I thank you freedom fighters for giving us the freedom to be ourselves...proud Africans. You fought whole heartedly following every strategy. We sang and rejoiced in our mother tongues. We believed that nothing will bring us down again: "Zimbabwe will never be a colony again" You gave women and children the platform to exercise their right to be who they are. It was indeed a dawn of a new era. We transitioned and grew some more. Look at Zimbabwe now, the home of the beautiful falls...Mosia-Tunya. We have Gwenyambirakadzis playing African sounds singing about our journey to the whole world. "Zimbabwe yakauya nehondo vakomana nehondoo" We dance culturally with no one chasing us with armery. We can be educated without limitations, we can go all the way to university level. We are proud Africans because of you and today we celebrate your victory. But I would want you to know that all that glitters is not gold. We are celeb

Appreciating Being A Woman

-
I just want to start this womens month by appreciating how important we are, why we are diamonds of this world.  1.Appreciate Our Beauty  We have this beauty that lights up the whole room. I know you might be thinking about facial beauty but I'm talking about your personality. You can be crazy, loud, bubbly or reserved and still be beautiful. Appreciating your beauty is a step forward to knowing your worth and not giving people the chance to value you because we live in a society whereby people feel like they have a right to tell you that you are ugly or beautiful. 2. Appreciate The Gift Of Multi-Tasking  This is the most amazing power you can have ladies. Don't make excuses to avoid a lot of work that can build you...We need to break the glass ceiling! I always admire the way my mom is always positive even if she is under a lot of pressure and til now I haven't reached that positive level...working on taking that trophy from her. Own this gift women.  3. Appreciate How Res
