First of all, what on earth happened??? I was rooting for the Atlanta Falcons - not because I don't like Tom Brady and Patriots, but because the Falcons have never won. Somehow, they managed to lose to the Patriots. I guess the best team won, so congratulations and respect to the New England Patriots. I remember when I had no idea what was going on in a football game. Then Igwe happened. He taught me the game, and I've loved it ever since. What's not to love anywhere when sweaty muscular men in Read More
Documentary To Watch: Minimalism On Netflix
Sweet Potatoes, I'm here to introduce you to a new documentary that you should watch. Last week's episode of Verastic Life was very chatty because I was talking about minimalism for so long. This documentary is what inspired that episode. In fact, I'll embed the video at the end of this post. I've known about minimalism for a long time, and everyone probably knows some version of it and possibly even lives some version of it. Every time you choose to go smaller, you're probably being a little Read More
Documentary To Watch: Big Men On Netflix
One of our favorite things to do is watch television. Igwe and I watch TV shows, movies, vlogs, and documentaries together. I usually come on here to recommend shows and movies to you, but today, I want to recommend a documentary. For some reason, although I pay the $9.99 each month for Netflix, I don't remember the last time I actually watched a movie on there. When Igwe was in Nigeria (in July of this year), that was the last time I watched a show (Being Mary Jane). Considering the Read More
TV Show To Watch: Queen Sugar On OWN
I have to apologize for being late to the Queen Sugar party, especially after having watched and loved Greenleaf on OWN. I knew when Queen Sugar was premiering, and I had every intention of watching it because Oprah and Ava DuVernay had something to do with it. Still, I slept on it. And between my month in Nigeria and Ada Verastic's party, I only just got to binge-watching it. The more I know about how Black people were and continue to be mistreated, the angrier I become. Queen Sugar is Read More
So I Attended The Season 3 Premiere Of Power
When Xfinity invited me to attend the Season 3 premiere of Power, I looked at the date and time and instantly decided that I was not going. Why? It was slated for July 12th and I knew that Igwe would still be in Nigeria, and the time was in the evening AND the event was in Washington D.C. See, I have a thing with Washington D.C. where I'd just rather not go there because it's too much for me. Too many traffic lights; too narrow streets; too few parking spots. And to make it worse, the event was Read More
