I was going to discuss another topic this week, but I’ve had a few people recently message me to tell me about their postpartum shedding or thank me for disclosing about my hair loss, so I had to call an audible. Postpartum shedding is when your hair packs up and leaves without leaving a note ...
Fight or Flight: The Christian View of Self-Defense
Help me out, guys. I’m torn over this one. In a recent conversation about self-defense, an unexpected argument broke out. What do you teach your children if they’re getting teased or bullied in school? 🤔 And please understand that there is a difference between getting made fun of and being bullied. Kids saying, “What are THOOOOSSSE?” to ...
What I Wish I Knew Before I Got Married
Starting the New Year was a time to reflect about different areas of my life while trying to improve upon others. As I asked around about New Year’s, I heard a consistent theme—building relationships. People want community. People want to have a circle of people who love them and have their back. And some people want ...
The Top 10 TV Shows of All Time (Off-Air Edition)
The holiday break is coming up, so I’ll make it a point to catch up on all my recorded shows. (Priorities, people.) As I was adding things in my queue, I was thinking about my favorite shows of all time that are now off-air. That’s a hard list to make, but I did my best. ...
This is a Man’s World
If you don’t like double standards, growing up in a Nigerian household may boggle your mind sometimes. Roles are very traditional, and girls and boys are treated accordingly.

Grow Your Own Bundles: My Second Silk Press
You guys should know by now the main things I do to my hair to retain growth: moisturize, wear low manipulation style and (recently added in June) get trims from a highly skilled professional. I’m fully aware that trims don’t make your hair grow. However, it could very much hinder your hair growth by splitting ...
Jobs on Jobs on Jobs (Part 2)
Here’s the thing about writing weekly blogs about various topics—It could be a while until my sequel of a particular blog post continues. Back in August, I wrote about the absolutely crazy jobs I’ve held since the age of 12. I was only able to get up to college before the post was getting too long. ...
What’s a Date Night?
You know how you think you’re making a connection with someone in a conversation and then it comes to a screeching halt? “Oh my gosh… life with kids is something else.” “I know, right? There’s no time to do anything anymore.” “Yeah… and time even talking with my husband is few and far between.” “Same here. All kids. ...
The ‘Fro Life Chose Me
It’d be a wonderful narrative to say that my sons wear their hair in its full glory because I wanted them to be proud and empowered by their thick, wooly manes. That isn’t exactly how it came about, though. I like to think of myself as a consultant of male hair. Basically, I can tell a ...
Serving Life Without Parole
Imagine someone telling you about a job that has plenty of perks, an equal amount of challenges, no time off and no pay. Would you take it? Well, put it that way, and I wouldn’t; but I signed up for motherhood anyways. Three times actually. (Did anybody find my sleep? I seem to have misplaced it. ...
