At 29 yrs old, I resigned from work & relocated to PE to be a full time student. At 29 yrs old, I took a chance on myself & at 33 I celebrate. This is for all the Black women in me who deserved a second chance 🎓 The journey continues...

Yesterday while driving home from work I observed a father driving slowly behind his daughter on the freeway. She had her L on the car and as I passed I noticed she kept checking for him on her rear view. I literally cried. To have that kind of assurance, support & affirmation❣

Translation: way too many Black people are getting doctoral degrees
The rapid increase in both the intake and graduation of SA's doctoral candidates has raised some concerns over the quality of doctoral degrees. SA's Council on Higher Education is set to look into the matter.

I was so overwhelmed with emotion I had to calm myself down. I couldn't possibly imagine what that felt like. But just trying...trying to imagine it, I knew right there & then that I want that for my kids. When they navigate new milestones I want to be right there behind them!

This relaxation of regulations means different things for all South Africans. White South Africans can go back to enjoying golf, tennis and meals at restaurants. Black South Africans get to go back to working for them or serving them.

When I tell you about parenting... ooTeacher base creche bazo Funda isiXhosa ngenkani 😄😄😄 My father's spirit is strong in this one.
Teacher Carol says small-small is refusing to speak English in class (again) 😄 I don't know what brings this on (it usually lasts a week or two). She has now resolved to learn isiXhosa so she can understand her. I must say...the revolutionary dlozi is strong in this one 😄😄😄

White people are not, nor will they ever be African. The same way descendents of enslaved Africans who have been in America for centuries are not Americans but African Americans. They must own their European ancestry with the same energy they did during apartheid
Zille says white people not being called ‘Africans’ is part of a ‘campaign’ to ‘demonise minorities’

In 1991 my parents told me I could go to the bakery section at Shoprite & order siblings. They would then put the baby dough in my mom to grow, take the babies out & take them to the hospital for the doctors to add hearts, lungs, blood & oxygen. My order arrived 25 May 1992 🌸💞

What is this obsession with women submitting to men? Every single week I see some new "pearl of wisdom" about what makes a woman submit to a man. Why does an adult need another adult to submit to them? So that what can happen?!

Before my grandfather passed he had dementia, he would sometimes wander off at night & was often confused & incoherent. My mother said she was grateful it was a male parent because had he been a woman, he would have been accused of witchcraft & probably harmed.
An elderly woman has been burnt to death at Brooksneck village in the Eastern Cape. The 75-year-old woman was accused of practicing witchcraft.
