Nope, this is not click bait, this is the real deal. I wasn’t at a party where 50 was performing, I was seated with him in the section…you might need a snack, this is a detailed read….
It was 6pm, an hour after the scheduled arrival time, and in typical African style, a number of seats for the nearly sold out show were empty. Regardless, the event was going to start….
In case ya dunno, I contribute to this amazing blog called Teakisi – which I love because it offers a space for African women to speak up. Trust me to take that that to my full advantage and use the privilege to low-key bash African men (I’m joking)….
I stumbled upon the most amazing picture of cooked plantain and I just had to know who had made it. It belonged to Sophie Musoki, a Ugandan food blogger.
Sophie is the content creator behind a little gem on the internet called A Kitchen In Uganda (AKIU)….
When I’m not creating content for my site, I contribute to Teakisi, a blogzine for African women. I have a feeling you might laugh or relate to this last article I wrote for them….
“Hi, my name is Joie, I was looking at your profile and I wanted to ask a question. Your confidence is so strikingly wonderful, how do you get past that little voice in your head and the voices of others? People saying how much prettier you’d be if you lost weight and stuff? I’ve struggled with my weight and body image my entire life. I see people like you and I am so inspired and ready to take that leap of faith where I wear whatever I want and then I look up and feel that sinking feeling.
I also would love to know how you got into the modeling industry, I’ve had people tell me I should do it but my parents say that I need to lose weight first… even though plus models exist…. how did you get to where you are?”

The Alpha woman exudes a confidence that follows her everywhere she goes. Don’t get it twisted, a boss isn’t always an Alpha woman; an Alpha woman, however, is always a boss!…
Happy New Year Fabbies!!! I guess you can say that Back to school = Back on schedule = Time allocated to creating blog content….
I call my blog “My Happy Place.” Watching something I started as a hobby grow into a brand that I’m proud of has truly been the most exciting bit for me this year. It’s always humbling when I meet new friends who tell me they love my content and keep up with my posts….
You probably already know that I like my accessories African. These particular ones are quite special because they are handmade made with love from the women that are a part of “Beauty of Rwanda”….
