Nobody’s perfect, we know this. It’s a tired alibi for people that don’t want to change or want to make excuses for their shortcomings. Based on this aged adage, women are driven to Alladdin it and find that diamond in the rough. So you find a pauper and love him into a prince only for him to leave you in…
I went to the Fuck Up Nights that they have at Impact Hub Harare and the speakers for that edition were Tatenda Jakarasi, co-founder and C.E.O. of MunchZW, Ruvheneko and my mentor Thembe Khumalo. As my luck would have it, the main reason why I went was scheduled to speak last. Yay me. But it worked out because I learnt…
Even before I’d been granted a visa, I knew that I was gonna have the opportunity to visit the Best Zoo in the World. You are assigned an Alma mater before you even schedule the visa interview and when I Googled Nebraska two things popped up, the flood and the zoo. The University had also sent a link to the…
As part of our YALI experience, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln provided each one of us with mentors based on our interests/work and I was blessed with Robyn Murray whom I had to share with Lilian Kaivilu from Kenya. I don’t know if it’s because you’re a South African woman but from the day we met, we just hit it off.…
So Boity popped off on the #UtatakhoRemix and I was reeling with emotion. I knew I had to write a whole blog post about absent fathers and deadbeat dads. When @Boity said "my Dad was alive but his presence wasn't so my mom was everything that he wasn't.. I could never be the one to ever judge him cause I…
There are two things that I don’t respond to. The first one is texts in shorthand and the second one is my name spelt wrong. The latter really makes my blood flow backwards. Ever since I started taking an interest in digital marketing and personal branding, I’ve come to realise the importance of having my name spelt correctly. The Netherlands…
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been down with a bug. Yesterday it got so bad that I finally went to the clinic with Mr. W. I had severe headaches, joint pains, nausea, diarrhoea, fever, shortness of breath and all sorts of discomfort. During that time, people continues to text me needing something or another and my unread messages…
It’s almost like waking up to find a 5 litre bottle of water and not knowing what it’s for. With the water shedding crisis you wonder is it for drinking? Is it sea water? Is it prayer water that you received from the mountain and you have to bath with it for three sunsets while facing the East and chanting…
There was a renowned pervert living in our neighborhood growing up. He was amazing with the mothers but a nuisance to the young girls. In my house he was always referred to as ‘Perv.’ Everyone was well aware of his interests and kept him out of the house. A girl I grew up with from down the road was sent…
Harare WordCamp is coming up soon and I am very excited about this one. I really wanted to go last year but we had a huge campaign in studio and there was no way I could have taken time off but this year, it’s on my list. Had a near death experience from last year’s FOMO. Makupsy and Beaton were…
