by Kabasinga Samantha KagaboThere is a cloud of pressure that hangs over black women in our society. The pressure to be strong, independent, confident, among other things. We are ‘queens’ if we do not break down when something saddening happens to us, or if we do not fight back and take it elegantly. We are applauded for acting […]
by Eunice AberThis story begins with the disco hall near my residence (residence because apartment is too generous and rental is too modest).

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?

by Kabasinga Samantha KagaboC.S Lewis wrote, “humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less”.

Wouldn’t something more feminine be more appropriate for you?” If I got a penny every time I heard these words since the start of my Electrical Engineering degree, I would be a millionaire! “Oh! So you are one of those smart girls? And you also defend women rights?!” […]
by Takudzwanashe NdanganaIf you were to ask a six year old about the career path they would choose, you would hear answers such as ‘doctor, soldier, chef, teacher etc. What about a housewife? Do you think she would confidently raise her hand and gladly say she wants to be a housewife? A housewife goes out of her […]
by Gloria BusingyeLife has been a mix of good and bad times recently, and almost everyone of us has had their fair share. If hard times don’t bring out the best of us, they will bring out the worst of us. I only hope you get the latter. My point is, regardless of who you are, where […]

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!
