Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
The rumors are true. I, Vera Ezimora, am now a mommy. Igwe and I welcomed our baby girl on Tuesday, October 20th 2015 at 5:19 PM. She weighed 8 pounds and 10 oz and measured 20.5 inches. For those who measure weight in kilograms, she weighed about 3.8 kilograms. No, she was not a small baby at all. But then, we cannot be surprised. A lion can never give birth to a goat. Ha! For now, she's a yellow paw paw baby, but there's no telling what color she will eventually be. When I show you Read More
This isn't something that happened a long time ago oh. In fact, it was quite recent.

When the baby comes and I post pictures of him/her, you better not look oh! Don't let me catch you looking. Ehen. Anyway, in the month of Read More
I'm specific in telling you that this is about my Black American neighbor because I have a White American neighbor that I might write about later, if the story gets interesting enough. For now, let me tell you about my Black American neighbor. She appears to be in her early to late forties, and I don't know her name, but I have nicknamed her The Witch. That should give you an idea where this story is going. I can't believe I'm saying this, but she makes me miss Tatiana. Ugh. So, about The Read More
My dear Sweet Potatoes!!! Or Sweet Pereroes in my oyibo accent. Thank you so very, very much for responding to my survey!

I cannot put a price on the value of the information and insight that the survey gave me. I was surprised by some of the answers (in a good way), but I am so, so grateful for your honesty. Thank you. Now, let me Read More
