They’d look something like this. I found this picture on the world wide web. Looks good on them! I wonder whose wedding picture was kidnapped to make this picture
What Are You Worth?
March 1, 2013 by 5 Comments
The debate over healthcare and insurance is one that is best understood and appreciated by people who know what it’s like to be sick and not be able to afford the needed treatment. Years ago, I suffered what was supposed to be minor stomach flu. I had all the classic symptoms: nausea, diarrhea, cramps, and fever. The cramps went from bad to worse, and while I feared that what I was suffering might have been worse than the stomach flu, {Read More}
Guess Who Was At The White House??? Meeeee!!!
February 26, 2013 by 38 Comments
And no, my people, I was not there as a tourist. I was there as Press. The Human and Health Services Department held an event at the White House yesterday to discuss the Affordable Care Act and how it impacts minorities. I collaborated with the Cameroon American Council, but it was my merit that got me there: Verastic. When the e-mail got back to me and asked for my details (full name, date of birth, social security number, etc), I {Read More}
Africans Are Immigrants, Too. Did You Know?
February 13, 2013 by 11 Comments
I was just having this conversation with Igwe the other day about how every time they talk about Immigrants and Immigration, the focus is on the Hispanics/Latinos. Naturally, as an African Immigrant, this bothers me. For example, during every election, everybody wants the Latino votes. What about the African votes? I know people like to bundle us up as African Americans, but it is not that easy. I look at it more as there being Black Americans and then African {Read More}
It Was Barack’s Inauguration, But Michelle Stole The Show!
January 22, 2013 by 4 Comments
While still unpacking, Igwe and I paused to enjoy the inaugural celebration, and it was beautiful. Or as Britney Spears always said on X Factor, “it was amazing.“ There were [are] too many things that fascinated me about the Obamas. First of all, I think it’s safe to assume that the Obamas can afford to buy almost whatever they want. Whether it’s a Rolex watch, or a pair of red bottoms, or the priciest Tiffany jewelry, so why don’t they? {Read More}
CBN Featured Me … Kinda Sorta
December 19, 2012 by 8 Comments
On Wednesday, December 12th, I put up a write-up – Whose Mouth Will You Have To Stop Feeding? – about the fiscal cliff and how it will impact us – Nigerians, Africans, Immigrants. Two days later, I received a tweet from one of my followers telling me that I was featured in a 700 Club report. So off I went to dig. And I found it! It’s not that Vera Ezimora herself was featured per se, but more like Vera {Read More}
The White House Might Be On The Verastic Show Tomorrow
December 14, 2012 by 6 Comments
Keyword: Might Two days ago, I put up a write up about the fiscal cliff and how it will impact Africans, if we do fall off it. I was – still am – quite disappointed about how little we (Africans) know about the fiscal cliff, considering that it’s all everyone has been talking about. You do not have to be a political aspirant or junkie to know that there is a fiscal cliff ahead of us, and that December 31st {Read More}
Whose Mouth Will You Have To Stop Feeding?
December 12, 2012 by 9 Comments
Yours? Or someone else’s? You may be one of those people who tune into stations like CNN and MSNBC only accidently, and when you do, the first thing you notice is that your television has a lot of pixels. My, the clarity! And that the lady giving the news is kind of pretty. Look at the fullness of her lips. And that the man next to her is a sharp dresser. Where did he get that suit from? And while {Read More}
Obama Is Still MY President. The World Is Happy Again
November 6, 2012 by 1 Comment
Oh, my Goddddddd!!! I am rolling with joy here. I’ve been nervous all day, not wanting to watch television, but needing to anyway because I just had to know what was going on again. And I’ve been sitting here with Igwe and DJ watching the votes come in. They have been laughing at me because every time they call a State for Romney, I star freaking out all over again. Okay, I can now go to bed. President Barack Obama {Read More}
How Can One Not Love Them?
November 4, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I have never, ever been a political person, but President Barack Obama has a way of making me interested in him and in politics in general. I have also never been one to look at a couple and want what they have because I don’t know what it is that they have. I only see what they let me see. I am not saying that I want what Barack and Michelle have either, but I’m pretty darn close to just {Read More}
