I've also switched my incense sticks for frankincense - the first burn was almost a disaster because of my ujuaji haha but I'm loving it - it's great for when I'm writing poetry. Which I talk about in this episode - what does...

Happy New Week and as much as it's not the best of days for me - Happy Mothers Day to all mothers, love to all those trying to be mothers, to those whose mothers have passed away. It's been 8 years since my mum passed away so it's never an easy day but I started preparing (lol) for like 2 weeks - unsubscribing from mailing lists that will send mothers day promos, muting certain online stores. All these and more can be triggering! By the way - here's the song of the week that I love! Can't believ...

What a week! Had another panic attack and it just feels like the world is so hectic & noisy right now! Because of corona, I have to postpone the #LegallyClueless storytelling party (once we have new dates I'll tell you). It's important to do so because gatherings and having crowds in a space wouldn't be fair on you or your loved ones. It's a little sad yes but there's a bigger picture to think about. However, I am still very proud that my podcast is turning ONE YEAR OLD on the 18th of March!...

Let’s just say I’m super proud of us and you should listen to the very end of this episode. In this episode I talk about being bullied extensively because of my teeth not when I was in primary or high school but only when I joined radio – strange right? On #100AfricanStories Sinitta from Uganda sh...

I'm so NERVOUS about this episode. First I'd completely forgotten that I had promised in January to share in detail how I left my former job! My bad. I go in-depth into that this episode. Probably only my family and close friends know all that I tell you in this episode. I repeat, make sure whatever contract you sign protects you and don't be afraid to walk away from contracts that do not. Also Durex is having a global campaign to get us sharing some of the inhibitions we carry when it comes to ...
