Recklessly authentic.
Igwe and I are always having all kinds of conversation about everything. The other day, we were discussing Nigerian food. I love Nigerian food. I love cooking it, and I love eating it. But I don't love taking it to work. Let me be more specific. I don't mind taking certain Nigerian foods to work, like almost any kind of rice (fried, jolof, white, etc), and I don't mind taking foods like egg stew and/or spicy spinach mix. But I have never taken food like pounded yam and egusi soup or Read More
Beyonce had twins a month ago, and she fiiiiiiinally revealed their picture today. The boy is Sir Carter, and the girl is Rumi Carter. Now, I would have asked Beyonce to teach me what moves she and Jay Z used to conceive their twins, so I can go replicate it with Igwe for our own future twins, but I want confusingly identical twin boys - not a boy and a girl.

A Sweet Potato asked me in a recent post to tell him who/what is a Slay Queen or Slay Mama. Well, let me, first of all, tell you who a Slay Queen is supposed to be. A Slay Queen is supposed to be a woman who has beauty, brains, and power. What she says, does, and wears should "give you life."

You love what you see her doing and wearing, and you Read More
