  • Ten Pictures That Would Make You Go….. Awww!

    Love 1

    I love to love! There’s something very heart warming about seeing two people in love. It just makes me smile inside.

    And it’s even more cool to see a couple whose love has stood the test of time, couples who have been in love for so many years and are still very much into each other. How sweet!

    If you didn’t believe in love before, I hope these pictures will make you have a rethink. I came across them recently and each one of them made me smile.

    Hi SL Fabz,

    I’m happy to tell you that I am the face of the Vlisco Women’s Month campaign this year!

    March is a special month for women around the world as it is the month which hosts the annual International Women’s Day and other women centered activities.

    There would be other interesting events such as the Vlisco Women’s Month Award election and the Vlisco Fashion Fund. It’s going to be an interesting journey with lots to inspire you and great prizes too. (more…)

  • There Is No Shame In Black Beauty

    Lupita Nyong'o

    It’s always such an inspiration to read the stories of brave women who do not let societal and cultural stereotypes negatively affect their success in life.

    Kenyan actress, Lupita Nyong’o who is now making waves in Hollywood is one young lady whose success I’ve been keenly following, not only because we share the same profession, but because she embodies what a true African ambassador should be.

    Yesterday, Essence Magazine held its 7th Annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon at The Beverly Hills Hotel in LA where Lupita along with other guests such as Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, and Kerry Washington were celebrated. Lupita who is nominated for an Oscar for her role as Patsey in 12 Years a Slave, was honoured at the event and she gave this amazing speech about black beauty which I’ve read over and over.

    If you’ve ever felt insecure about your looks, your skin colour or any physical attribute, I’m sure this would inspire you. (more…)

  • A Prayer For Peace

    A prayer for peace

    The sad events of killings and abductions of some young people in some Northern states recently has left me with a heavy heart.

    In Borno state, 20 young women were abducted after a raid at a village. As if that wasn’t terrible enough, about 29 students were reportedly killed at the Federal Government College, Yobe.

    I can’t begin to imagine the devastation and grief the parents and loved ones of these affected young ones must be feeling. (more…)

  • The 80 Year-Old Woman Who Attends Primary School

    80 Year old goes to school

    Today, I watched the inspiring video of an 80 year-old woman in Uganda who enrolled in Primary school to enable her learn English and read the Bible.

    I was amazed by her story!

    It was interesting to see her sitting in a class and learning with children young enough to be her great grand kids. But the determination and agility with which she ran to the school compound, joined the kids for assembly and listened in class was simply wonderful. (more…)
