Wild & Free: Best Places to Visit during the Rainy Season in Bulawayo
Solitude and the outdoors have been my great loves for as long as I can remember. My mother always says there was never a time in my life when I could blend in. Easily or naturally at least. Even as a child, I always preferred hanging by myself. Don’t get me wrong, I do love people and group functions but I also prefer being alone. The downside of this part of me is that it can be very difficult to make people understand. Understand that I haven’t disappeared or been quiet because I am angry or don’t love them anymore but I am just taking life the best way I…

It could be trying new restaurants, new menu additions at old places or just buying crazy amounts of groceries so I can experiment in the kitchen myself. However, this is Zimbabwe and this…

Emotional Entanglement
Early 2020, we all had a front-row seat to the “entanglement” drama that unraveled in Hollywood. It felt as if it was the first time the world was hearing the word “entanglement”. I suppose what made it so was the way it was thrown about lightly as if it was meant to explain and justify all that had happened. Maybe because all that it was meant to be was meaningless physical “interaction”. I will not seat here and pretend to have an understanding of what exactly happened or whether it was right or wrong. And then again, this is none of my business. So you can stop right there, before…
