Remember when we said that Keke Palmer’s baby daddy’s actions were abusive and would lead to something worse? You lot told us we were projecting and called us unhappy feminists who wanted to destroy a home. And yet he turned out to be abusive. We know the patterns.
I have a dark-skinned daughter, she took her dad's complexion not mine. This seems to rub some people the wrong way. Let me be clear; I will fight anyone who comes at my girl on some "rraagwe o mo sentse"! I will disown family, I'll cut friendships. I'll violently protect her.
I don’t think even if it was a public school Elsa would be humble. Didn’t we watch this lady eat chips and tells us exactly how she won’t be doing that humble nonsense? Love her 🥹

physically abused my late mother – he would beat her up. Some of my earliest memories are me going to visit her at my grandmother’s where she would seek refuge. But with that said it is the silencing of who she was that gets me. Ok- I have said it.
I can’t believe I’ve been this girl’s mom for 6 years. I’ve done such an amazing job 🥹 such a special special girl. My favorite girl for real 🥰 Happy 6th baby
Ke gore do you guys understand that growing up we could’ve never anticipated the image of the Botswana flag being above American flags in a sprint? 😭😭😭
To think one night almost 10 years ago I thought I didn't deserve to live and now I am 32 and absolutely fabulous 😭 if you see this on your time line, you're welcome 😌
This is my colleague Chris giving a presentation on his research. Chris is deaf and this I'm sure has come with a lot of challenges. But Chris is on his way to being the 1st deaf person to earn an Msc in Chemistry in Botswana 💚

Sunrise Yoga in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans was really amazing! Putting together a retreat for the first time is work hey lol but the best kind of work because I want it to go really well 🤗 Look out for details in the next few days.
The men coming from mothers who should’ve long left are wreaking havoc on the lives of women who have the nerve to leave without having the endurance mother had.
So today I’m taking the bus because I don’t have patrol. I decided to just walk to the A1 coz I don’t live far from it. Turns out I don’t love far from it when I’m driving. On foot I live nowhere near it 🤣🤣 I was drenched in sweat the time I got to the bus stop…
Anyway, I’m 33 today and it’s an absolute blessing to have popped up on this day at 1430 at Mzilikazi clinic in Bulawayo to my 19 year old mom at the time. Lord knows it could’ve have been easy 💚
Guy at liquor store: Hello ma’am, let me pay for your wine.
Me: if you do, don’t expect me to give you a number or even be nice to you.
Guy: I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with people who made you feel that way.
Continues to pay for my wine and be on his way.
I’m really not so bad with the make up guys. I think today is make up day. Also, it’s the Easter weekend this side so I’m not trying to do them long walks today 😂
I can’t believe it’s been literally 12 years and I still think of the time I was working at the Mascom call center and I was coming from work and getting off G-west route 2 and I yelled “THANK YOU FOR CALLING” 🧍🏾♀️
Lodges in the Delta: "OK our overseas customers for whom all this is tailored, can't make it because of corona, so bail us out Batswana betsho. We'll give y'all a citizen rate for this period (note, we won't include the full experience because you're not our real customers)." lol
On this day last year I was kicking it with Dr Conopio and assisting in my lil dude’s transition into this realm. Singing Bob Marley’s Redemption Song all through it. Thanks for completing my family lil man. You aight.
The love of loved ones and strangers carried me yesterday. I don’t take it for granted. It felt like I had a village behind me and I referred to your well wishes throughout as I sang Bob Marley’s Redemption Song through the transition (much to the amusement of hospital staff)
Going from victimhood to embracing accountability has been such a hard journey for me but I’m determined to keep peeling into my best and truest self. Even through the messy uncomfortable parts.
See? I wasn’t just playing in Romania. I was doing science. With some of the best European scientists. I’m so thankful for Dr Eniko Covaci. Leaving the lab at 8pm most days wasn’t for nothing.
Anytime hubby wants to join me in the shower I know I’m about to sacrifice my scorching bliss for luke warm water 😩 what is it with men and weak skins anyway??
My 5 year old was trying to show me something on her elbow and I said “let me see” then tickled her. She said to me “mommy can you be serious?” I apologized fast. I don’t think my kids realize I’m a kid also 😩

cases in

variant ravages Africa, Botswana has the highest rate of infections on the continent and a pathetic vaccination rate of only 5.04%.
Make room for all versions of you. The sensible you, the responsible you, the irrational you, the shallow and vein you, the strong you, the soft you. All of you. Accommodate them all.
I mean, it feels like most social media apps are forcing us to go outside. Ride bikes, socialize, talk to real people etc. might be a good thing for me personally
Mark Zuckerberg announces that Instagram will be launching a service called META verification for $11.99-$14.99 a month that will make your account blue check verified.
Also, I’m always saying the notion that men choose themselves is actually false. Men choose whatever will violate or hurt the woman. They don’t mind being collateral. Their actions aren’t inspired by self-love, they’re propelled by hate for women 😌
Quitting your job because you don't want to pay maintenance is just pure evil. You would rather ruin your own life than to make sure your own child has basic needs.
