Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
Have you watched any of my live broadcasts on Instagram? We have discussed everything from Nigerians and their door peepholes to seed-sowing in church to politics in Nigeria to the tension between Africans and African-Americans, and yes, to men and women cheating. It has been a wonderful experience for me and something I have wanted to do for a very long time. I'll be doing it again this evening. That said, one of the live videos has inspired today's post.

In case you have not heard this story, the child accidentally drowned in their home pool. First of all, the pain of losing a Read More
I was supposed to write about church today, but instead, here I am telling you about sperm. In my defense, I'm telling you about how to [allegedly] become more intelligent. I came across this headline and could not resist reading it. And naturally, after reading it, I had to share with you because good things should be shared.
