It’s 2013. And I’ve Got Some Plans!!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!! As you read this post - well, depends on when you read it - I am Downtown Baltimore with Igwe watching the fireworks, just like we did last year. I'm already thinking about how I will usher in 2014. Do you have New Year resolutions? I don't. I stopped doing those a long time ago, but I have never stopped being hopeful or making plans. And these are some of my plans for 2013. I have more plans than are listed here, and some of the ones listed here are not as detailed as Read More

Lessons I Learned In 2012

I cannot believe that it's been a year since I lost my anonymity. This time last year, I was putting finishing touches on my January 1st post that revealed my face, pictures that I was not crazy about because I hated my hair. How time has gone by. It's been a very, very fast year, and naturally, I have learned a lot of crazy things. Below are just a few in random order: 1.

But first, I made a five-minute trip to the African store to buy bread. I love that crown top bread that has eight pull-apart rolls. It's like a big sized puff puff. It's so stretchy. I'm probably just consuming yeast and flour, but Read More

Merry Christmas, Family!!!

I cannot believe it's Christmas Day. No, seriously, like how did that happen? Feels like we just got into 2012, and now we're celebrating Christmas again, which only means one thing: 2013 is next week! I'm remembering what Christmas last year was like, and while I don't remember the exact events that took place, I do know that I am at a different place. As I type this now, I don't have any grand plans for Christmas. I don't know if we will visit anyone, or if we'll sleep the day away, or if Read More

CBN Featured Me … Kinda Sorta

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 Ezimora's tweet about the fiscal cliff appeared in the report that CBN did about Read More
