My journey through music as a 30 something Black woman has thus far taken the expected path. I went to my first concert when I was 12; I saw The Boyz at the Ohio State Fair. I saw Shaba Ranks in Ghana when I was 16. Somewhere in between, I saw Public Enemy in concert […]
I have writer’s block today, unfortunately. An incident at Dunkin’ Donuts this morning has my Mind all messed up, so I can’t search out a topic and craft any relevant (or irrelevant, as is usually the case) thought around it. So today, I’m going to share an email conversation I just had with one of […]
I’ve been mothering for what seems like an eternity, and I have an eternity still to go. One of the good things about having this many kids is that nothing the newest child does comes as a surprise – unless, as Aya did last night, its fishing out a used baby wipe from the toilet […]
Kismet: When fates collide Eiii, READERS. Hmmm. I have some small kokonsa (gossip) for you. Most of you are upstanding, decent folks with morals, but for those of you like ME who like kokonsa, here we go! *This is going to be a very bush conversation. I’ve warned you. First of all, let me say […]
Happy Friday Readers, Happy Friday! I was going to take this space to bitch and moan about this stupid UGA graduate who grates on my nerves with her moronic whining monotone and dumbass questions, but it’s Friday and Pandora is playing Sheena E. Life is good. Have you ever worked so hard that you feel […]
Snniiiiifffff!!! Ahh…Spring. There’s pollen, pollen everywhere (gag!). The potbellied carpenter bees are digging holes in my siding, Atlanta drivers are driving like they have less sense, and Kohl’s advertising budget is on steroids. All these things can only mean one thing: The Easter season is upon us. I love Easter. It’s the one time of […]
Readers, I’ve got something for you all to judge. What’s your take on this? My husband and I are going through a quiet ‘battle’ concerning whether or not I should be allowed to have my own room when we move to South Africa. If we had the space in our current home, I would have […]
There are two types of women in the world: Those who take BS and those who don’t. It is the job of men to decipher – usually based on looks – what type of woman you are. This is a poor system/process of discovery, at least by my estimation, because according to many men that […]
April Toque: A cruel game played only by the Gyekye siblings. Simply put, it’s April Fool’s day on steroids. HAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAA!!!! April Toque! I got you!! Man. I’ve had calls (some from Ghana AND England), texts, inbox messages on Facebook all asking WHY I’m shutting down M.O.M. (For the record, I’m not.) *Gasping and Snickering!* Oh […]
