I Love Being Black

On December 11, 2020December 8, 2020 By GiftIn Musings3 Comments

There is a lot of negativity thrown at Black people. It’s mostly from racist people and people who are racist but don’t think they are but really they are. There’s also ignorance we have to deal with and micro aggressions and institutional racism which is insidious and hard to fight. However, I love being Black. …

On November 6, 2019October 30, 2019 By GiftIn MusicLeave a comment

I know Truth Hurts is THE popular song of Lizzo’s right now and with good reason but I wanted to talk about my personal favourite Juice. This song is more my vibe just because. The moment I listened to it I liked it. Sometimes I have to listen to songs twice before I know if …

Colourism – A Global Problem

On August 28, 2018August 21, 2018 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

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 …

We’re Not Perfect … Yet

On December 24, 2017December 22, 2017 By GiftIn God, MusingsLeave a comment

I'm here to talk about something serious that some of us experience at least once in our lives. Depression. It's been called a silent killer and that is very true. A lot of people suffer in silence and you on the outside will never know what's going on in their mind. When the mind is …

Date with Yourself

Recently I got to spend time alone. However it was different from before as I was doing something that I liked, and I was talking to a friend via WhatsApp and I was comfortable downstairs.
