by Eunice AberThis story begins with the disco hall near my residence (residence because apartment is too generous and rental is too modest). It is 2AM in the morning and because it is a Public Holiday, the entire neighbourhood is treated to a generous supply of loud rocking music. The first time I noticed the disco hall […]
by Eunice AberHow many times do we do the same things we vowed we’d never do? How many times do we go through the same experiences that gave us sleepless and tearful nights? Do we ever find ourselves dating the same person, only having a different face, name and address from our last traumatic relationship? Could it […]

By Eunice Aber Where did the bubbles go?Where did the butterflies go?Did we get too comfortable?Did we get so used to…?Did the warmth cease to matter?Did the laughter cease to form?Did we, as we climbed steep mountains togetherand crossed new paths in each other’s company,forget to look into each other’s hearts?Did we focus on the […]
by Eunice AberBy Eunice Aber Once again, Queen Bey drops a number that does not just turn ears, but hearts too. And it comes at an opportune time for me. Of late, I realised discrimination was far more complicated than black and white, or woman and man. I have since resigned to the possibility that humans are […]
by Eunice AberBy Eunice Aber Growing up, my mother engraved in me the idea that the litmus test for being an Acholi woman is how “bright and shiny” your saucepans looked, after you washed them. She literally scared me into believing so. I did not fall for it at first, but waking up to the same song […]
by Eunice AberBy Eunice Aber 24 is obviously the age before 25. But it also is in a scary way, the age when it begins to dawn on you that you’re approaching quarter a century and have nothing you can put to your name. Given that the world follows the rules of normal distribution, this isn’t always […]
by Eunice AberBy Eunice Aber Today I caught myself in the middle of a thought None about me and all about her She had it all. She had done it all There was no coin she hadn’t turned No soil she hadn’t touched And all I wanted was a little piece of her glory. I idolized her […]
by Eunice AberBy Eunice Aber I am a hopeless romantic and issues to do with relationship and marriage catch my attention quite easily. I believe in happy endings and “till death do us part” kind of commitments. However, through experience, I know too well the harsh reality of breakups. A question I would like to ask is: […]
by Eunice AberBy Eunice Aber I was recently engaged in a conversation with my colleagues on the topic of bride price. I actually find myself engaged in this conversation more times than I care to.

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!
