Words that more than I could sum up the experience that is the sudden ending of post graduation.

Fear is an extremely potent tool. We know enough about how politics power equations use it. I’m sure a million examples have popped up into your head already. Today, let’s talk not of t…

Also, a bog where all posts are a must read for sure.

IWD March 8th 2019 Disclaimer: I speak with angst. Facts BUT angst. Today I woke up to my mother’s WhatsApp message. She sent me an image wishing me a happy women’s day and I didn’t find myself sm…
