    October 29, 2021 /

    Today, I woke up feeling very bad. For my health, still feeling weak, for not having control over that, even when I’m doing the right things. I told my teammates I won’t be able to work, I wanted to stay in bed and just sulk all day.

    Infibulation – Type III female genital mutilation

    June 26, 2021 /

    Infibulation is the practice of removing all or parts of the external genitalia (the clitoris, labia minora, and labia majora) and sewing, pinning, or otherwise causing the remaining tissue to fuse together during the healing process, also called Pharaonic circumcision. The World Health Organization refers to the procedure as Type III female genital mutilation.

    Funke’s Diary – Starting the Pride month with allergies

    June 1, 2021 /

    It’s 7:27 PM on Tuesday, the 1st of May, 2021 which is the first day of pride month.  I’m on my bed, down with allergies. It sucks cause this is how it works; I was exposed to change of weather, cold, and dust so now everything I touch that’s cold causes a flare-up.  So, I have to bathe with warm water, drink warm water, can’t put on the AC/fan, lock my windows while I’m sweating in my big shirt because this is how to minimize the side effects I’m feeling.  My throat hurts and some part swollen, my nose keeps running and my head hurts because of the pain.  I…

    30 Days Off Instagram – Here’s 5 Things I learned

    May 10, 2021 /

    I was off Instagram for a month. I resumed posting on Instagram recently after taking a month’s break. The break was not initially planned to last that long. I felt it was going to be a couple of days or a week at most. Let’s chat a bit about where my head was at when I decided to leave right? I was tired, I was triggered. Everything was a lot and it was exhausting in my personal life. I needed the break to be invincible so I took it. I was still on other social media platforms because Instagram brought up the most random emotions in me and I was…

    Today’s baddie is a 26-year-old lady that describes her Implant contraceptive story as a horror one, is tired of contraceptives, and would rather get a hysterectomy. Can you remember the first time you heard about contraceptives?  Well, I’ve always known about condoms and I had a friend that told me about her implant but I didn’t really get a lot of details about them till I had a yeast infection in university and had to go see a general practitioner. After the diagnosis and everything she gave me a talk about all the different methods and showed them to me in real life. Gave me pamphlets as well to take…

Hated my nose when I was much younger cause I used Hated my nose when I was much younger cause I used to get teased that it was big, then my dad told me to tell them that “it’s just like my daddy’s nose”. If you see my nose, you’ve seen my dads nose. 

That helped, it boosted my confidence until it didn’t. Through my teenage years, I would try to hide it, like I could😂. This, having acne with other things affected my self esteem. 

I started hating my smile, when I started modelling it was surprising to me cause I would not take a selfie - I was faking my confidence till I deeped that I’m actually getting somewhere with this thing. 

Fast forward to now, I’m still shy to smile sometimes in front of the camera but no one can convince me that I’m not that babe. Periodt!

It’s exhausting being a black woman, you’ll learn to love your skin color, black features, skin and/or hair issues and we are expected to be strong amongst other things. 

What sucks most with life is you’re not responsible for the things society considers ‘important’ and use to judge you. 

Not your gender, race and/or if you were born in generational wealth. 

You’re here and you have to overcome everything thrown at you. It’s silly but the journey is just as rewarding (sometimes).

What comes after the pain is an unshakeable self love and self believe that if I survived that, there’s nothing that can uproot me. 

Life is a journey and the only destination we are sure of is death so while you’re on your journey with self love or whichever journey you’re on. Remember to enjoy life as you go.

“When they call you, telling you how they wish y “When they call you, telling you how they wish you were never born. You listen to them call you a failure. You quietly cut the call and strip naked. You walk into your bathroom and turn on the shower. You cry your heart out. You come out dripping of swallowed excuses. You call me as you kneel on the bathroom floor telling me how badly you want to live. I tell you to hold on, I tell you sometimes the moon is too weak to be full. Today, there are just too many clouds. Just today. You say how weak your life has gotten. I listen to you curse God. I do not correct you. These suns don’t come easy anymore. I watch you peel your skin in silence. I watch you fight your fight in anger. You say, “yellow” and I say joy. You say “God,” baby, I say you.”

⁣
I used to hate it and be mad at myself for overthinking little things. I have stopped because I realized how much my overthinking has protected me. ⁣
⁣
Two things that has helped me is ⁣
1. Being sure of people’s intentions that I have around me⁣
2. Communicating properly. ⁣
⁣
If I feel it, I’m going to say it in a way you understand. ⁣
⁣
It’s easy for people to dismiss your feelings when they know you’re an over-thinker, some even weaponise it to be emotional manipulative. ⁣
⁣
I saw this thread @t0nit0ne posted about overthinking in relationships and thought to share. ⁣
⁣
If you’re an over thinker, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is settling for someone that cannot communicate properly, you will loose your shit. ⁣
⁣
If you’re dating an over thinker, learn to communicate properly and more than half the problems that come from your partner overthinking will be solved. ⁣
⁣
Are you an over thinker? Where are you right now? Struggling or finding balance?⁣

Blueberries are slowly becoming a fave of mine bec Blueberries are slowly becoming a fave of mine because apart from help in boosting immunity, studies have suggested that they could help your sex drive by increasing levels of dopamine and blood flow: two essential parts of sexual wellbeing. 

Studies show the berry helps blood circulation and dopamine release within the brain, creating a happy libido too! 🫐
