While I was thinking about what to write for this blog, I thought about the recent events happening abroad and in Kenya. On the one hand, there was the Russian-Ukraine war, the war supporting rocking the natural look, a few cases on racial discrimination. But on the...

Haha! Remember when I said I’d give some updates on the African in Cinema class I am taking right now? Well…it’s here. Like I mentioned before, my two main motivations for taking the class was to watch African films – because I grew watching too many American, Indian,...

I grew up watching a whole lot of TV shows, and especially liked those that had some detective elements in them. This past week really made me look back, laugh and appreciate one of those shows: Bones. Bones is an unorthodox series to say the least. A forensic...

I spent my past weekend visiting a friend down in Philly. I was excited because it had been almost three years since I last saw her. I was also nervous for the same reason. Three years is a long time even with the calls we had in between. Has she changed? How much...
