by Anesu Nyakubaya19 years ago I lost a parent. I was 7 so I did not really understand what was going on. I knew what death was and knew it meant I would never see my father again but I did not understand what it really meant. It took a while for it to sink into my […]
by Gloria BusingyeThe path to recovery after loss is certainly not the same for all of us. I have learnt a few things (mostly the hard way). Though saying that I expect anyone to find my experience exactly compatible with their situation would be a bad lie, if there is even a slight possibility that my experience about death, loss, and grief may be helpful to another living soul, here goes.
by Anesu NyakubayaWelcome to the month of love! What better way to celebrate this month than with a bit of self-care? With that in mind let us pick up where we left off in this post’s predecessor Important Things You Need To Know To Live Your Best Life – Part 1. Next on the list is: 7. […]
by Anesu NyakubayaSoo what a 2020 we had, right! No one was ever ready for it but hey if you reading this, we both survived. With all the new lockdowns going on across the world (although we all hoped 2021 would be better), we can’t be caught in limbo. If we aren’t careful, it’s easy to slip […]
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. Instead, the dreaded #RIP was awash social media statuses as Covid-19 statistics became names of acquaintances and in some cases close friends and family. Creating new year’s resolutions seemed […]
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 Anesu NyakubayaWe all know nothing comes easy, this includes our happiness. More often than not you are your biggest obstacle when it comes to this aspect of your life. Identifying this is step number 1. You need to understand, NO ONE WILL GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO BE HAPPY. You have to give it to yourself. Choosing […]
by TeakisiBy Cynthia Kinyera For any woman that works out or is thinking about working out, sports bras are probably part of your obvious wardrobe requirements. But you may be thinking, are they really that necessary? Can’t a regular bra work just as well? The short answer is yes, they are necessary, and no, regular bras […]
by Faith MangwanyaThe story of Zimbabwe is very hard to write because there are so many stories. There is my story, there is my neighbours’ story, the vendor on the street has a story, those in power all have stories and how you the reader perceives all of this, you will form your own version of the […]
by TeakisiBy Felly Oyuga They say life and death go together. I have always been fascinated by the dead, but not by the process of dying. That part scares me. The last breath. What does it feel like? Do you know you are dying? Are you scared? I expect I will close my eyes on this […]
Lovely event with a light-touch, informal and friendly feel. I had a chance to catch up with people I had not seen in ages, as well as to meet a few new people. My suggestions would be for a greater range of entertainment (I’m a big fan of Georgia May and Daps, and they were great), to showcase some of the different kinds of talent in the NE. Food from the African continent or diaspora. And something slightly more structured (but still light-touch, fun and social) to encourage people to get to know about each other, and to find out more about Teakisi and the different initiatives which support different cultures and exchange and sharing in the region.
Had a great time at the event. The team were great and welcoming.
