Hi & Happy New Year 2024! It feels like forever since I've last been here. Hope that you are all well. Am doing ok, actually feeling better than I have in quite a long time. Sincerely speaking, this space (the part of my life that revolved around creating fashion) hasn't been binging me much joy like it used to. I have been struggling over the last couple of years & can't really pinpoint when exactly 'my light' started to dim. Maybe during the pandemic, am not so sure. But somehow, I...

I recently turned 39 & celebrated my birthday in a chilled way just as I had wished for, surrounded by my closest family & friends. This is the journal entry that I made on that day, acknowledging God's presence in my life & appreciating the personal growth that I have experienced this year (thank you Therapy!). HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME HALLO 39! Thank you God for letting me see 39. Thank you God for the joy that I have in me. Thank you God for the love around me. Thank you God for the...

Some time back (am even ashamed to say when this was because this blogpost is so late), but nevertheless, my friend Donata of Afroschick invited me as a plus 1 to attend a workshop organized by TikTok Germany for Black Entrepreneurs. Actually, now that am typing this, I have just remembered that it was part of the celebration of the Black History Month in February. The event took place in Berlin & as always it was not only an opportunity to learn more about navigating the world of 'TikTok '...

'If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.' Toni Morrison As you can probably tell from my previous book reviews that I share on this Blog, I am a certified book lover. But what I miss the most is sharing with someone about the books I have read, getting book recommendations on what to read next or just sharing our thoughts on what we have recently read. I have joined a couple of online book clubs but they are mostly 'based' in the US....

Over the weekend, I was honored to be invited by 'Lessan e.V. Hamburg' to give a Sewing Workshop to girls & young women from the African diaspora. It felt so good to share my gift with these amazing ladies & we spent the afternoon not only sewing, but also talking, laughing, eating & sharing our experiences on an array of life topics. It's really wonderful to see what a difference it makes when we decide to pour back into our community & especially our younger sisters & am...

I can't believe that we are already in September (why do I feel like I say that every single time a new month begins)? Where is the year running to? As I type this, am running late for work & am absolutely tired & yet it's not even midday. Am just not getting enough sleep & I can feel the exhaustion slowly creeping up on me. My workload has increased 1000x in the last couple of months because of taking in more clients & more employees on my other business venture. There is just...

Am extremely pleased to have my pieces at the 'Afroschick' Pop up Shop in Hamburg for the next couple of months. It feels great to see our ideas come so nicely together & it makes the 'blood, sweat & tears' all worth it. We are part of the 100+ Artists displaying their work at the former Karstadt Sport building next to the Hamburg Central Station. JUBILEE 4th Floor, Mönkebergstrasse 2-4, 20095 Hamburg

Am wondering if there is an SI Unit for Happiness? SI Unit(The International System of Units which is a measurement used for scientific and technical work). Like when studies are done to find out where the happiest people live in the world, are they able to quantitate the levels of happiness? Or is it done on a scale of 1 to 10 like one of my favorite Podcasters & Authors, 'Demetria L.Lucas' does (with a '10' Day to mean a very good day & a lower number to represent a terrible day)? I...

Hope that you are enjoying the Summer & the lovely weather that it has brought with it. Am loving it, as evidently seen on my smile on most photos. Am doing good, great actually, loving where I am at mentally at the moment & just taking it all in.

Merriam-Webster defines a ''calling' as ''...a strong inner impulse towards a particular course of action especially when accompanied by conviction of divine influence.'' What is my calling or how do I discover my true calling? That's a question that I am often asked by people. I assume because it is because I carry myself like someone who has found theirs' & is living it. If you ask me what my calling is, I would probably say it is in doing anything which allows me to make use of my...
