Posting this is a big win for me, I would love to hear your thoughts and kindly subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Contraceptive Culture in Africa – An IUD Story

Girl, I had a Safe Abortion in Nigeria
We started around 8 and I left the hospital a little before midnight. She asked if I had done this before and I said I hadn't. She asked because she wanted to know what my body could take. We started with pills that went under my tongue so they'd melt while I was receiving a drip.

2021 is For Boundaries|How not Setting Boundaries Affected Me
I am very familiar with feeling like one does not belong somewhere, feel like a burden, and not feel safe and seen with people around you. Because of my past with bullying, depression, and low self-esteem. These emotions are not new to me. And you know how we become what we would like to see in other people. Or is that my thing? I didn’t want people around me or people that come across me to feel those things with me. I would much rather they have a pleasant time with me in their lives or being around me. But like a lot of things, it went unchecked in my…

How I’m Dealing With Anxiety During A Pandemic
The day before yesterday, I wore a yellow crop top and thongs, danced in front of my mirror smiling and laughing at myself. On Sunday, after Our President declared the lock-down. I had a panic attack. I had been home for days before it was officially declared that there was going to be a lockdown in my state and other states. The reality of the situation finally set in. I knew what was going on, I knew how dangerous COVID-19 is and why the lockdown is the best way to handle the situation. The fewer people that get infected, the better. I could hear the sound of my heart beating, my hands…

Dear Diary – Today was The First Day of Therapy
I was nervous but not like soo nervous. Confused? well, that makes both of us. I had a photoshoot earlier with an old friend and I almost canceled the session. In fact, I did.

Life has a funny way of making our wins look small and I…
