Lupita Nyong’o Is People’s Most Beautiful Person And What It Should Mean For Africans Everywhere

When I looked at my phone yesterday morning and saw that Lupita Nyong'o was named People Magazine's Most Beautiful Person of 2014, I was in awe. I was happy. Too happy. I immediately put it up on Instagram and spent the rest of my day thinking about the irony of Lupita's win. How is it that a Black girl - a black-skinned Black girl - from Kenya, with an accent, and with a last name that has an apostrophe in it - is the most beautiful girl in America?

Dear Vera, I’m Married, But I’m Still In Love With My Ex-Husband

Dear Verastic, I'm new to your page but thought maybe some advice from you could help me. I'm still very much in love with my ex-husband and I know that he wants me back too. However I'm married to someone else, I love and care about him and wish only good things for him but since a few weeks after we married I just didn't love him the same. I came from a big family and always wanted children, we talked about it before marriage and he said yes. Now all I get is no or he evades the question. Read More

What If Oscar Pistorius Is Innocent?

I've been following the Oscar Pistorius murder trial - and it's hard not to when it's on TV all the time - and Igwe and I have been debating the innocence or guilt of Oscar Pistorius. Igwe is pretty sure that he's guilty. I, on the other hand, wonder what if he's innocent after all? The prosecutor - fondly known as The Pitbull - has been doing one hell of a cross examination. I wonder if I wouldn't just break down and admit to guilt, just to not have him ask me another question - not that Read More

Most Popular Post On Verastic? It’s The Vagina One

Figures, huh? A girl puts up one post --- one single post --- about the types of vagina (and this was because of The Verastic Show), and all of a sudden, the post becomes world-famous. Well, to be completely honest, I have put up more than one vagina-related post, and I don't know if it's "world-famous," but a girl can always, always dream. The other day, I was playing around with my WordPress widgets and I decided to activate the 'Popular Posts' widget, and what post showed up at the Read More
