by Yunah BvumbweIt was one fateful evening when Samia Suluhu Hassan announced the demise of their beloved president Dr. John Pombe Magufuli. Grasping her breath with anxiety written all over her face, she announced that the president had died due to a cardiac failure. What a dark hour it was for Tanzania and Africa at large. Citizens […]
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 Dr. Daniel JeffersonAs the UK vaccination programme achieves 873,784 jabs in the past 24 hours, it is bringing to mind much wider issues that are clearly toxic and also represent a sense of unfairness in society.

Vaccine hesitancy means putting off having the jab, or completely saying no. […]
by Nadjath AkanniEver heard of the expression “Barça wala Barsakh”? Only a handful of people will understand this, but as I dive into details most of you will get the point.

by Faith MangwanyaAs 2020 drew to an end, a cautious hope lingered in the air. Unlike previous years, social media statuses were not awash with new year’s resolutions.

by Dr. Daniel JeffersonAs the year 2020 ends, Coronavirus continues to always grab our attention, but there’s never been a better time for Teakisi followers to consider their own sexual health.

by Salha KaitesiFor most people, the end of any year is traditionally a time of reflection. A time to take stock of whatever happened in the past 12 months. Lockdowns across the world meant that our “normal” lives were immediately replaced by remote working, virtual office meetings while online events became a necessity. This is why reflecting […]
by Yunah BvumbweHumanity has become so engrossed in matters that only concern themselves. In fact, the politics of selfishness has always been a hot-button issue in this world since time immemorial. People don’t feel the urge to speak out as long as the problem is not affecting them yet. There’s a myopic expression as well that people […]
by Salha KaitesiBlack History month has been celebrated right here in the UK for more than 30 years. This celebration takes place from the start to the end of October. Throughout history, black people have made huge contributions to society in many fields and areas, so up and down the country events are held to highlight 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!
