by Salha KaitesiI recently learned that one of my cousins has AIDS. Even though we haven’t been in contact for a few years, this information hit me really hard. While still trying to process everything, I couldn’t help but wonder why it had to get to the death sentence that is AIDS and not HIV. As I […]
For as long as I researched and educated myself about Miscarriages, it has come to my attention that it goes hand in hand with silence, stigma, and shame.

by TeakisiBy Cynthia Kinyera I recently heard of body neutrality and one of my first thoughts was… why am I just finding out about this now? Most of us have heard of body positivity, which has been popularised in media and championed by many celebrities. But it has never completely “clicked” for me, and learning about […]
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, […]
