WHEN IN DOUBT

“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will”. Anonymous. Why are we so afraid to go after our dreams and use the world as a runway to showcase them?


I, for one was always doubting myself which in turn made me shy away from plenty of opportunities. Looking back, I do not recognise that little girl. When will we ever be the dream chasers we want to be? Looking at myself now, I still cannot believe this is me. I am in awe. So empowered and determined. I wake up everyday with the aim of working on my craft without an excuse. Because 8-10 years ago this would have been yet another dairy entry collecting dust. It is not so much about the content, it is more about taking that leap of faith. Why are you holding back?

Release your inner creative and baptise us with it because we LOVE a queen/king who takes risks.

INCITEMENT

I have rewritten this three times and I could not think of better people to write about other than my family members. Their goals and attributes have added to my upbringing one way or another. And I chose these specifically because I love them unconditionally. Mr dad : if he could still tuck up into bed and tell us bed time stories he would. He is full of stories and is ever making people laugh. He makes everyone comfortable from the word go. He literally never sees any bad in any person. A good listener too. Mrs Mum : has always taught us that we are good enough and should go after whatever we believe in. Her childhood stories never end. Always cooking. And always optimistic.  Boo : was once my best friend but decided to get married, breaking my heart in two. Knows how to have fun without a worry. Someone you can tell your problems to.  Sister sister : my duplicate. ready to exchange birth certificates because I really do believe I was suppose to be the last born. The only hu...

"HERE'S TO STRONG WOMEN: MAY WE KNOW THEM, MAY WE BE THEM, MAY WE RAISE THEM"

International Women's Day is celebrated every March 8th, a moment taken to celebrate women's achievements in every field and used as a day to acknowledge the journey toward equality. Growing into an international movement with the spotlight of issues of education, equal pay and leadership. Women have bridged gaps in arts, politics, sports, science and business. With inspiration drawn from the likes of Serena Willians, Maya Angelou and Rosa Parks. Not forgetting mothers, healthcare workers, teachers, activists and entrepreneurs in charge of shaping our day to day lives. However, challenges persist. Issues run roots deep in discrimination, gender based violence, education and wage gaps. We all have a role to play to bridge the existing gaps. This can be done by advocating for change in workplaces and communities, supporting organisations which support women, educating ourselves and the masses by highlighting the many struggles faced by women, supporting women based businesses and...

DO NOT DISTURB: FROM NOTIFICATIONS TO PEACE

  A degree hotter feel like an end of a marathon filled with pride, relief and a strange unsettling silence. I find myself staring at my screen more often than not, feeling drained, less inspired. It took me a while to realise and acknowledge that constant notifications, scrolling, and my availability was quietly robbing me of my peace and productivity.  So, I have decided to change things.  I start my mornings with something as simple as a meditation session, coffee and a book. My meditation helps me focus on what is important. I gracefully take my coffee, savouring its rich African taste as it unlocks a surge of energy into my blood stream. Reading for an hour helps centre my thoughts like an armour ready to take on whatever challenges unfold throughout the day. And, I have truly dedicated my best hours of the day to productivity. Even, with this rhythm, I have noticed something troubling.  I have always valued being a good friend or co-worker. I still do. The kind...
