Not Just Anyone Can Take Pictures Of Me
Photography is an art and I respect it as such. Please don’t approach photographers and ask for photoshoots in exchange for exposure or as a favour. Trust me, they already have all the exposure that they need. #TooFunny Beyoncé has her own photographers and videographers, this is nothing new. No

My Life As a Copywriter

I Don’t Regret Walking Away, but Here’s What I’d Do Differently
Many of my friends around me are unhappy with their lives and I’ve been wondering why because I am equally unhappy with where my life is. I’d hate to think that it’s because misery loves company. After endless DMCs with each of my friends I realized the root of our
How The Followback Mentality Is Killing Us
Does anyone do anything for nothing these days? Are we all doing stuff for other people secretly hoping that they will do something back for us in return? On Twitter, which is where I first found out about the followback mentality, people will follow you on Twitter and if you
Women, Wine & Words Was WOW

Imma Be First In Line to Write My Provisional Learner Driver’s Test Online

Five Songs I Love By South African Female Rappers

I’ve Taken Up Mindfulness Colouring for Adults

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay
Ever been in such a dark space that when you day dream you can hear people giving eulogies at your funeral? I haven’t felt alive in a very long time. I don’t know where in my life a part of me died but I haven’t been able to get it
5 Times Girls Get Ariana Grande’d in Real Life

How To Cope With Stress
Being an adult is a stress. Let’s not get into how stressful it is trying to adult in the Zimbabwean economy. What is stress? If you have to ask then you’ve probably never experienced it. Or you’ve misdiagnosed it as mental illness or anger management issues. Stress is the body’s
Why Boity’s #WuzDat is Important for Women
When I first heard that Boity was going into rap I was skeptical TBH. I was like oh my gosh, it’s Paris Hilton’s musical career all over again. Imagine being able to come for your ex and his protégé. Two birds, one stone. Too much was riding on this track.
The Cutey That Nearly Killed Me
People do stupid things when they are high off of dopamine and I am of no exception. They wanted me to write a jingle for a client and because I had never written one I had to go over to the other company so that the Dr Dre of jingles

Finding Accommodation in Harare
Moving from Bulawayo to Harare was a strategic career move. Harare is where the money’s at. Actually Harare is where everything and everyone is at. Except my family members. I don’t have family in Harare. So every time I move up there I go through a tough time trying to
Calling Out His Sidepiece On Social Media Won’t Stop The Cheating
I can’t say this enough. I bumped into a video on Twitter where an Econet brand activator was assaulted by a very annoyed woman. The woman holds the Econet girl by the ear and tells her to leave her husband alone. The girl is clearly mortified and at a loss
It’s OK Darling, He Left Me Too
So people were all cut up about ProKid’s death until they heard where exactly he was when he died. ProKid is a South African vernac rapper. His stuff was decent if you’re into that sorta thing. I was there for it. Bhampa and Sekele were my favourite ProKid jams. When
I Wasn’t Crazy, I Was Torn Apart
During the unhealthiest phase of my life, I went through hell. Life is a rollercoaster, it goes up, it goes down and throws you all around. I used to think that I had bad luck and that I was cursed. The things that I went through were very hard to
