Verastic Is Officially Open

Soooo.... As you may know (or not know), I have been blogging now for a little over seven years. And in all that time, I have never opened the blog up to other people. The most open it has ever been is when I did the Show Me Your Love blog events and the one for Mother's Day and I solicited pictures from you. And it was awesome. However, I have been getting a lot of inquiries about doing features, and I have been declining every one of them down because Verastic has been very personal. Read More

My Weekend Recount: Solachi’s 30th Birthday

It's been a while since I did a weekend recount, I know. That's because nothing has really been happening. Either that or I don't take pictures at the event. Well, this weekend was a little better. Friday: I attended an engagement ceremony. Yorubas call this an Engagement. As an Igbo girl, it's more like a traditional wedding. But every time I call it a wedding, people ask me, 'what wedding?' So okay, I'm sticking to engagement then. I didn't take pictures at this wedding engagement, but I Read More

This One Is For Joe

Yesterday, Igwe and I went to a new church - Life Source, located on Rossville Boulevard, here in Baltimore, Maryland. Since we moved, I have been driving past the church, and each time I pass, I feel an inclination to go in there. So I googled them and found their website where I figured out their service time. 9am and 11am. I told Igwe that we had to go, and so we did. We finally made it there yesterday. It was mixed. Black people. White people. Hispanic people. African people. Asian Read More

Guess Who Was At The White House??? Meeeee!!!

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 sent it in, but I did not really expect it to go through. I Read More

We Won … So We Froze Our Asses Off

The Baltimore Ravens won the SuperBowl on Sunday. Who no know go know. And it was epic! The only other time I had so many heart palpitations was when I ran out of perfume. And since you're wondering, I'll answer you. Yes, I wore my Ravens shirt to church. Ehen?? Igwe and I watched the game with 13 of our friends who honored our invitation (yes, we invited people .... AGAIN), and this time, my girl, Uju, was there. We also had three traitors. AKA They were supporting the other theme. The Read More
