When people offend and act shocked when you get offended!
Last week, on my usual perusal of social media, I came across a video of a young man who was being auditioned for the role of a radio/tv personality. The panel was made of three women in the media and this video caught my interest because, when the judges on the panel looked up this…

So, what are you bringing to the relationship table?
There is a popular Ghanaian radio show I listen to whenever I get the chance – this show is on a radio station in the city I grew up in. The show has been going live on various social media platforms and this has given me the opportunity to listen for over a year now.…

Can’t believe it’s been a year already – a massive thank you for all your support!!!
The year 2020 was a challenging year for the whole world and I was no exception – while we all shielded from the COVID-19 virus, I was forced to face myself and address issues I had ignored for years. As I went through the self reflection in lockdown, I decided to see a therapist after…

What are your expectations in your relationship?
Last year, I wrote about a young woman who had been murdered by her husband – while looking at abusive relationships, I shared my experience of the society I grew up in. Where I grew up, most girls are trained to become wives and the boys hardly get any training on becoming husbands but boys…
