by TeakisiArticle written by Ibtihal Ahmed. For years, I struggled to fully understand the idea that forgiving is not for the benefit of the other person, but for us as individuals. I am reminded of this conventional proposition: “You’re not forgiving for them, but for you.” This confusion lingered over my soul until the blessed waves […]
by TeakisiBy Joan Semanda. “It’s The End.” Stella looked into Rob’s eyes as she told him, in not so many words, that their five year marriage had come to an end. She still loved him. She still cared for him. She felt like her guts were being wrenched from her body, but she knew that […]

By Angela Semanda. Hello ladies! What if I told you there was a solution to your monthly menstrual challenges that lasted for up for up to 10 years, was affordable and eco-friendly? Yes, I know, sounds to good to be true; but it exists. The menstrual cup, also referred to as the Ruby Cup, is […]
by TeakisiBy Reem Gaafar I have been a doctor for almost 9 years. For about two thirds of that period I worked as an ER physician in a busy tertiary hospital in the Gulf (Oman, specifically) and for a few months in Sudan, while the other third was spent in the Sudanese civil health sector as a […]
Here at ElleAfrique we believe in an African voice, telling our own stories and empowering our own people, especially our women.

Despite the existence of talented writers from all over the continent, […]

Elle disait à chacune, qu’elle devait chercher à posséder le plus possible de bijoux en or, pour qu’en cas de coup dur, elle puisse les vendre rapidement où qu’elle […]
By Mahbuba Matovu It’s a public holiday and school is cancelled, so I decide to spend the day updating my blog. The mood is perfect. It’s only 1 pm but it’s raining like crazy with dark clouds dominating the skies. I cozy up in my lady-cave with dim lamp-shade lighting while timeless hits from Jazmine […]
by TeakisiBy Nellie Umutesi-Vigneron Traveling was instilled in me during childhood: whether it was a summer in Kenya, a weekend trip into the countryside of Burundi, or a road trip to the nearest town to enjoy an afternoon by the lake, my Mother made sure that we traveled and ventured out. That love for traveling and […]

I absolutely loved the Blogging 101 course by Teakisi. The knowledge Salha has is evident from the advice that she gives, testament to her years of experience in the field. The amount of content in this course is of incredible value. The step by step process she has produced is clear cut and easy to follow. I thoroughly enjoyed the live demo to see how to create a blog post. She was able to answer all of my queries regarding how to do well as a future blogger. If you really want to start a blog, this course will give you a solid foundation to do just that. She condenses so many days, weeks, even months of research, into a concise programme. I can see this course being delivered in schools, colleges, and more, because of the ease in accessibility, set-up and content. Thank you so much taking your time to deliver the course, I’m very excited at the prospect of starting my own blog!
This course has given me a comprehensive view of resources that I can use to design my own blog. I loved the step by step guide, and Salha showed a high level of expertise and professionalism. Highly recommended!
