    1. Our dog, Jack 2. My best friend, Sarah 3. My niece, Nalah 4. My mom, Dorothy That’s the ranking of how well the people I surprised received my showing up without them knowing. Jack was all over me and wagging his tail and not giving me a moment of peace. Sarah’s mouth was hanging…

    A few things crossed my mind when I was dangling on a rope over Kali Gandaki River in Kushma: In case you missed it, those were my reflections from my little solo rendezvous to Nepal. Now to the juicy stuff, what I did and how much it cost me 😊 I entered Nepal to the…

  • The Sex Lives of African Women by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah

    The Sex Lives of African Women was, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. Not because it was easy. Not because it was comforting. But because it was real — raw, unapologetic, and deeply human. I came into it with assumptions I didn’t even know I carried: that sexuality for African women was…

    I Forgot My Class Because of Millie PS: This is a book review 🙂 I fear I have read too many psychological thrillers, and now I am the problem.I will hand it over to Freida McFadden though; she had me gripped from the epilogue, and 100 pages into the book, I came to the stark realization that…

    I Wanted a Man Who Saves Himself -So I Started Saving Myself If there’s ever been a book that demanded more than just reading ; that asked for strength, patience, and a whole lot of emotional recalibration, it was The Rational Male. This was a difficult read, at first. I didn’t finish it in one sitting. I…

    101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think is one of those rare books I know I’ll return to again and again this year; not because it’s dense or demanding, but because it’s gentle in the way it unsettles you. Each essay is brief, often just a page or two, but they don’t rush…

    It wasn’t loud. It didn’t demand change. It didn’t tell me to fix myself, to meditate more, to become “better.” Instead, it simply asked: Are you awake?And in that quiet question, something shifted. The book is a gentle call to look inward, not to fight who you are, but to understand it. To notice the…

    From the very first page, I felt seen. Not because the book accused me, but because it named something I’d been ignoring: that my phone isn’t a tool I use — it’s a master I serve. I check it while waiting for the kettle to boil. I check it while walking to the store. I check it…

    A New Earth isn’t just a book I read- it’s one I’ll return to again and again, not just this year, but for the rest of my life. It was a wake-up call: a gentle but firm invitation to wake up to myself- not the story I tell about who I am, but the quiet,…

    I didn’t pick up this book because I wanted to be rich, nor was it because I was tired of feeling broke, even when I had a paycheck- case in point, I read it when I was in university because I wanted to learn how to use the little money I had, courtesy of saving…
