Resurgence

In the depths of the night, as the moon cast an eerie glow upon the desolate streets, a figure stirred restlessly in their bed. YooakpaTee, haunted by a sense of unaccomplishment that gnawed at her very core, found herself entangled in the seams of a life that seemed unstitched and unraveling. Solitude enveloped her like a suffocating shroud, a companion she had clandestinely slipped into,…

Mummy’s Boy, Hakimi

In the eyes of society, Achraf Hakimi may have seemed like the epitome of success – a talented footballer with a bright future, a doting husband and father, and mummy’s boy,. But behind the facade, there lay a troubling web of power imbalances, abuse, and betrayal. Photo by Nana Poley As James Baldwin once wrote, “Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live…

BON AGAIN

From the sea’s deep eimbrace,His logs tangles with shells of his roots,Dorothy’s kente prints, a tribute to his truth. In the beat of his drum, he finds his voice,A rhythm of life that helps him rejoice,His drum, his heart, ignites with fire,A new beginning, a soul’s desire. With every strike, his soul comes alive,Ignited by the waves, he starts to thrive,The sound like lightning, electrifies…

My Bane of Being

I’m sealed in my bag of emotions, through comfort eating and splashing milk on my lens of truth.

I’m not allowed a piece of the peace cake; I’m always shown into an apology for some self-esteem!

Insanity of…

THE ANDROGEN - Societal Regression

THE ANDROGEN – Societal Regression

Androgyny = a teaspoon of common sense, a tablespoon of sweetness, a pinch of sass and a touch of class. We are always quick to conclude with our own definition, this is something I have contemplated on more than two or three occasions basically being a mass personality trait. It is the social conviction that you should look a specific route as a man, and  another as a lady. Likewise, the…
