It’s a…well…conspiracy.
by @untonyto. I do not watch horror movies. Horror movies are a diabolical scheme by the empire to dehumanize humanity! You should be able to tell, by the time they are affronting you with the visual abomination of a masked man lopping at human beings’ anatomies with a chainsaw/ axe/ blunt weapon. Right from the [...]

It’s Not Your Hair, Honey; it’s Your Attitude
By Taneica Lyn Phillips Oliveira ‘Black men don’t love their black women.’ ‘Once I got my big chop, I was no longer seen as attractive.’ ‘I don’t have long straight hair, therefore, I am not what society deems as beautiful’. Depending on who you talk to, some of these statements may ring true. To be [...]

On waiting.
by Thobekile Nthinda You never know how someone would ever be so silly as to ‘wait’ for someone else, until you are the one subconsciously waiting. In this reality that most Africans who can afford it have, where we spend all our growing years traveling across continents for school and things of that nature. Sometimes, [...]

Drab to Fab…in Ten Minutes
by Wendy Angel Nang’ayo It is a truth universally acknowledged… that women just cannot be ready on time. (This, of course, is only true if we’re limiting the universe to the opinions of men alone… if you ask me, “on time” is a relative term.) Usually, when faced with the abrupt 10pm “Party at Mike’s [...]

A million miles away…really.
by Anthony Odondi “It can’t be done.” ‘It’s too hard.” “How can you trust each other, when you are that far apart?” You may have had all these statements, maybe even better ones. Statements from people saying long distance relationships can NEVER work. And with so much negative hype, how can anyone ever expect to [...]

The Art – or lack, thereof – of Seduction
Posted on 29 July 2011
by @lil_deph “Two things a man must do, regardless of his station; he must sleep and he must eat. “ Some wise quote I came across once in response to the rising, ever mobile perpetually busy executive man. In my daily travels as a regular woman, I have decided to modify it thus; Three things [...] Continue Reading

By @gashhimself Half-stumbling while clambering onto the bus I swore that one day I would not still be this person. The stack of papers in the box I was carrying threatened to fall off the carton wall they were incarcerated in. I walked down the aisle to the back seat with one hand holding up [...] Continue Reading

Posted on 25 April 2011
This is a not-so-happy fact found in UNICEF’s 2005 report, “Female Genital Mutilation and Cutting. A Statistical Exploration.” Female Genital Mutilation has been inflicted on approximately 130 million girls and young women.

MYTH # 3 No pain, no gain
Posted on 22 April 2011
by Victor Ochieng I am sure you’ve heard it before. I’m almost sure it has been said to you before. I think you may have said it to someone yourself, and, if you believe it you’re part of a large percentage of the “active” population that’s needlessly injuring themselves in the name of training correctly. [...] Continue Reading

The Vagina Monologues…
Posted on 18 April 2011

by Antony Chienjo I moonlight as a “paranoid” Conspiracy Theorist. Of course I don’t consider myself paranoid; it’s a tag my friends plaster on me as soon as I share with them the true inside scoop of why everyone is suddenly wearing formal suits nowadays. I’m just a wary, alert, cautious and foolproof guy out [...] Continue Reading

by Anne Moraa I can see my reflection on the shiny tiles and it gazes back at me, empty. Maybe, I should have thought this through better. Perhaps I was too hasty and maybe what he did to me wasn’t that bad. It, in all honesty, he probably didn’t merit this. Matter of fact, he [...] Continue Reading

Making a case for men
Posted on 10 April 2011
by Clara Kakai ABORTION IS NOT A WOMEN’S ISSUE! At a ‘YES’ rally in Western province recently, Prime minister Raila Odinga remarked that men should steer clear of the abortion debate due to their minimal conception role that seldom lasts more than a minute. His rationale was simple; because women have to contend most with [...] Continue Reading
