by Nadjath AkanniOne’s perspective of life changes the day you witness firsthand a close relative or friend go through series of indescribable, agonizing levels of pain, watching them cry for help and there’s nothing you can do, administered pain killers becoming ineffective to the point of an eventual overdose. They have good and bad days, most of […]
by Natacha UmutoniI was born fat, a big 4.5kg and was born with a huge appetite. I always blame my mom for my appetite because she fed me ubugali at 4 months. As a toddler, I was not that fat but I have always been bigger than my age mates. I know myself as fat. From a […]
by TeakisiBy Cynthia Kinyera Sometimes I think, we Africans have a talent of focusing on all the wrong things. We’ve built a society that loves sweeping uncomfortable things under the rug, and actively convincing ourselves that they do not exist. Rape, for example. Did you know that the top four countries with the highest rates of […]
by TeakisiBy Chido Chirumuta If anyone asks me one more time, I might just explode or say something rude. People just need to mind their own business! My mama raised me right, so I am sitting here trying to find a polite way to tell people to mind their business. A week after I got married, […]
by TeakisiBy Stella Damasus “I am pregnant.” These three words are life-changing for everyone involved. It could be good or not so good news but will definitely change lives instantly.

When chores were not done to her mother’s liking, she was promptly reprimanded and reminded how no man would want a woman who could not keep her house in […]
“Alright! That’s it! I am having this baby”. I have always loved the idea of a baby. I just didn’t know what carrying my own would feel like. And the day I took that pregnancy test, the last voice I wanted to hear was the one saying it was positive. I was surprised it didn’t take […]
by Yunah BvumbweThere might be other issues in the future that some of us are going to need exorcism for in order to comprehend and acknowledge, but I suppose this one doesn’t. Someone once said that “you know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams”. This affirms to […]
by TeakisiBy Amandla Karungi When I was younger, I was the shy one who always got left out and was never the favourite. Not the crowd favourite, nor the sisters’ favourite, not the Aunt’s favourite or the Grandmother’s favourite. As the second born out of three and then eventually four girls, it was difficult to be […]
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!
