My ability to make peace with any situation is unmatched. Didn't get that job? It was never mine. You don't want me? Someone will. That opportunity didn't work out? The next one will.
Our Zambian system is really messed up. I have a whole Bachelors Degree, a whole Advanced Diploma in French and I’m a final year Masters student with NO JOB. Why do we waste our time, energy and resources going to school when the system was not built accommodate all these papers?
Today, I woke up wondering how many “baddies” we’d have left if we took away financial support (privilege) that some men accord their sweet ones.
I think this quagmire is worth a thought. Are you really a baddie?
Got a job last week, was forced to quit on the first day of work because my boss wanted to sleep with me. He pretty much optioned me that, or the highway and so I took the latter. It’s situations like these that make me an ANGRY FEMINIST.
Gas prices were exorbitantly hiked, only for them to be marginally reduced & we should toss around confetti in delight because there is “change”? Lol
We have political PTSD as a country if we are singing praises for a drop in prices that should have never gone up to begin with.

Let’s normalize sending live locations to people we trust every time we are in uncomfortable situations like: shady public transport, night out with new people, first date with strangers.
It never hurts to be a little too careful.
Kaunda’s service to Africa demands a thunderous applaud. The man helped liberate a number of Southern-African countries at the expense of his own country’s development, using majority of Zambia’s reserves to liberate other countries. Despite the controversy, I’m saddened.

I’ve been doing small contracts and small side jobs and they really aren’t sustainable. Even if one decided to do farming, that demands a piece of land, machinery and all that comes with being a farmer. Even that route is impossible with no proper start up support.
One thing I will never do? Bash anyone’s hustle. Life in Zambia is hard please and we’re all just trying to survive. Don’t laugh at people who’ve been forced to put their degrees aside because of the unfavorable job market to start hustling.
We’re seeing the consequences of people who didn’t have their emotional needs sufficiently met in childhood, who now expect others to indulge them in adulthood.
I’ve never, and will never understand individuals that always try to recruit others into conforming to their narratives and opinions. It’s okay to have healthy disagreements and more so, understand the value of respecting narratives other than your own.
Choosing to date someone who has money and can take care of your financial needs is not being a gold digger. It’s a preference.
Just thought we should straighten that out.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but you can literally still save the year with two months left.
As long as there’s still time left, there’s room to make necessary changes.
There are people in this world who have less than nothing. And they have the scars to prove it. And yet, even in the face of it all, they manage to remain kind, open, generous and empathetic. Broken, but beautiful.
Perhaps I feel too much or am too romantic for dating of today, but I don’t want to be remembered as a number on someone’s list. I’d much rather be documented as a moment in ones mind.
I can’t seem to collect myself about my mother’s transition. It’s been a day already and even though I know I gained an angel, losing her has been a nightmare. My Jessie.
Forever my beginning, my middle, my end. 💔
One thing abt me, I will uplift you if I love you. You can’t be with me and have low self esteem because all I’ll do is gas you to the max. It’s truly by default because I really feel this way when I love someone.
If your identity is tied to external things like your career, popularity and wealth; then your centre of gravity is not yourself, but how you are perceived.
If social media is valuable for anything, it's making it blatantly obvious that there will always be people who dislike and misunderstand you. It's always been this way, we can just see it up close and personal now.
I wish people on the Internet were gentle with each other and a little less mean. But also, I can't control people on the Internet, so, thicker skin it is.
I am not afraid of losing my personal comforts because I’ve lost them many times before.
Losing my ability to express myself freely is more uncomfortable than losing possessions.
I’ve been looking for oxygen cylinders all day and to no avail. Anyone know someone who can help me with the aforementioned preferably today? Please retweet. I need all the help I can get.
There’s a difference between opposing & criticising an ideology- and cruelly dogpiling on an individual.
If you think the latter is acceptable, we are not the same.
A full on turn on:
Radical unity, community solutions and breaking barriers. Taking action, discussing change and what that would look like, daring to go against the norm for social justice and change. These are the conversations I like to have.
People are so quick to assume there is a problem if you’re single. No, sir, I chose to be single. I am desired by many and people shoot their shots, but I intentionally chose not to complicate my peaceful life.
An extreme sport these days is existing in times governed by a culture that doesn't allow enough grace and forgiveness for our inevitable imperfections.
I grew up feeling insecure about my nose because it was too big for my face especially when I was younger. Then I realized that big noses aren’t ugly. People are just used to Eurocentric beauty standards.
I couldn’t be more proud of my distinctive African features.
I truly hope I can live a life long enough to heal, grow and learn from the things that need healing—to deeply witness experiences that will morph me into my wisest self.
Super excited to be part of the Ubuntu Youth Governance Initiative Launch, where I will be a guest speaker talking about women empowerment. It’s going to be live on their Facebook page on the 18th of June, 14:00. Please, join us and share your thoughts.
5 years ago, I did this sketching when I was going through a tough time mentally. I talked to no one, and all I did was make sketches of how I felt. This was my first illustration.
