There is colourism in the black community. It's quite upsetting actually. I've even seen it within my family. There are light brown people in my family and there are dark brown people in my family. We share a family resemblance (I'm talking about one side in particular) and yet they'll talk about the lighter folks …

Learning to Take Care of Yourself
It’s good to take care of others and to worry about others. It’s good to be selfless. However it is not good to neglect oneself. Recently I’ve been learning this. In this world it’s expected for us to be doing something constantly. You’ve finished one stage in your life? Okay now what next? What next? …
What feminism means to me
I was literally just checking on my blog, as you do, and I noticed that one of the views today was on my male natural hair movement post. Lately that post has been getting a lot of views and it got me thinking. I didn't know there were people who were interested. To be honest …
Letting People Back In
As I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten used to losing people due to life. They get a job and I see them less. Or they move away for Uni or we fall out. Rarely do they come back into my life but that is exactly what happened with one friend. I shall not disclose the story …
The Glow Up
I am sure many of you are familiar with this term. It refers to when someone upgrades their look or improves their life. You’ll often get a before picture and then a years later after picture where someone has “glown” up. Or sometimes it’s instant, like someone will get a makeover or you get make …
You’re Never Fully Dress Without a Smile
If you've read my musicals post you know I love Annie (1999) and I do. There's a song that got me thinking recently and that's: You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile. I'll admit when I was kid I never thought too deeply about the song and its lyrics. I would just dance around thinking …
Seeking the Lost: Evangelism through Song
I was thinking about songs and what they mean the other day. At my church Seeking the Lost is a church favourite. If you ask them what’s our favourite hymn they’ll say 373. We sang it recently and I was thinking on the lyrics and what it meant and why they’d chosen it for that …
24 – Living for Myself
As I reach the age of 24 I have decided to do things for me. Most of my life the reasons I have done things and sought to achieve things has been for others. If not for other I did things because society said that I had to. I put a lot of pressure on …
Accepting your feelings
I finally watched Grease tonight and it got me thinking. Kenickie, Danny and Rizzo all struggle accepting their feelings. With Kenickie and Rizzo they're used to sleeping around and it not meaning anything. They feel a mutual attraction to each other and they're like, "Cool, let's bang." But then they discover that their feelings go …
Brennan – I get her
Yes there are spoilers Someone told me that Bones went downhill when Brennan got with Booth. I've started watching the show for myself and I strongly disagree with that assessment. I'm not writing this post to talk about why the show ended but rather about the positive and realistic impact Brennan's relationship with Booth had on …
