Everyone has some food or drink that they just love. Some people like eating a particular food, and some people like a particular snack, or a particular fruit, or maybe even a particular cocktail. For me, I just always want to drink something sweet, but I don't want to drink all the sugar. And I love the fizz that comes with sodas. So how do I get everything I want and none of anything I don't want? Sparkling ICE waters!I discovered Sparking ICE at Walmart one day. I was busy minding my Read More
I Met A FIERCE Igbo Lady!
I was at Giant the other day, standing in line to pay for my one loaf of African bread - the crown top one. Igwe loves it, so I buy it on Tuesdays because that's the day they deliver it there, but this time it was a Wednesday because I forgot to go there on Tuesday. I noticed the lady in front of me. She looked to be about 40, was about a size 6 or 8, and was dark in complexion. She had on an afro wig, a fitting red dress, a black and red motor jacket, and a lovely pair of red sandals with Read More
Whose Virgin Mother Is This?
Something is wrong with this picture. Well, technically, there's nothing wrong with the picture. It's the description of the person in the picture.

But the last part says she's hoping to Read More

When I was a child, I had very big dreams. I grew up as an only child, so I never knew what it was like to have siblings. I didn't have competition, and apart from my parents, I didn't really have anyone else to look up to or be inspired by. I wanted so many things. I wanted to be a lawyer. I wanted to own a clothing store. I wanted to be medical doctor. I wanted to be a fashion designer. I wanted to own several cars, especially a red convertible car. When I used to dream as a child and even as Read More
Dope Movie Reminds Me Of My Own Coming Of Age
Have you heard of the DOPE movie? You must have. It's been getting my attention for a long time. And when I heard that Pharrell Williams and Forrest Whitaker were part of it, too, I became even more interested. I regret that I haven't seen the movie yet [does not come out till June 12th, unless you have connection to the powers that be, and unfortunately, Oprah hasn't called me yet]. It's written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa - yes, a Nigerian American. But before we give him a Nigerian passport Read More
