The Marriage Interview
The marriage interview MEET Africa Utopia was a great time. The South bank hosted events and I got to reconnect with some old friends from Africa and maybe meet some new ones. One such guy was sitting next to me at a feminism talk. I was getting out a business card for someone else and […]
African Fashion Week London part 1
African Fashion Week London part 1 I have found my write up from last year. Let’s hope this year is amazing. I’m already doubtful as they have failed to respond to emails. This doesn’t bode well but, resources…. Enjoy! Surprisingly for all who attended this was the FIRST African Fashion Week in London. Held at […]
The resolutions
The resolutions Every year I made the same 3 resolutions: lose weight, get into a meaningful relationship and buy lots of heels. I know my precious, there was little sign of any weight loss and there had been a few dates but none that were worthy of a permanent toothbrush. I bought myself a pair […]
Stupid Questions Women Ask Part 2
2) So, do you have kids? Here’s the thing. If he has kids then surely he will at some point mention it? But because he is still just thinking about sex and you are thinking about the potential FuHu this is a silly question to ask. Some lie and deny their kids exist or worse, […]

I keep on fallin’
AHe was tall, dark and African arrogant with a vulnerable smile. I met him at a social mixer and I put on my best flirt face. Yes, I can fake it when necessary my precious. A shared love of sport and sex meant that we were soon talking on a more intimate level. <p>After long […]
