Where is the Queen? Does anyone know? Most importantly… do you know? You, you the queen. Do you know where you are? Do you know who you are? The princess looks up at you as she sees you resplendent; in a light you’ve forgotten. You’ve wandered down a darkness that is starting to shroud…aloud… On…

Living the Dream
Maybe our true dream is a part of a collective dream, which if we all work on remembering, then we’d all have our dream come true.
Female Genital Mutilation
Did you know that female genital mutilation (FGM) is reported to have been practiced in the US as recently as 2010? The United States of America is many things, good and bad, but I held the belief that the majority of the people who want to live in the US of A, are people who…
When Mister Shankar Plays His Sitar; and Other Stories About How Kuna Matata and No Woman Cave.
You know, I really want this post to be coherent, exact, …and I want it to flow like water. Though, I suppose it is flowing like water because after all… Bruce Lee said you put water in any thing, IT becomes that thing “You put water in the pot, it becomes the pot” BL. I…

Arusha National Park
Arusha National Park was undoubtedly different than Ngorongoro Crater. It was closer to Arusha, I didn’t have to prove I was born in Tanzania (as I had at the Ngorongoro rangers’ house), and this park’s residents were different. Here, we saw a dik-dik making his way from the road to a safer place. We saw…

A few minutes ago I logged into WordPress and saw a beautiful photograph. It first looked like a painting on canvas,…
