A crazy year and I've never been one to celebrate anything. But life is way too short and way too unfair to not cherish every minute of everyday. Merry Christmas from my family, to yours🎄🎄🎄

This year has got to be the worst ever. With so much happening all at once, it was difficult for me to find a moment to breathe.

I will be 27 years old in 2 days and if I've learned anything, it's to try to celebrate the little things if I can. I graduated with a Master's degree in Minerals and Materials science and have now begun my PhD in Civil Engineering with a focus on earthen materials to become a viable option for building and construction. This has been a dream of mine for a long time. To contribute to the technology of earthen homes and bring clay/mud houses back with the strength to tackle the challenges of today.

I take each day as it comes. Push myself out of bed. To make new friends, finally try to learn French 😅 and not forget the one thing that used to be a source of respite. My writing, my stories, my art.

I know it's been a while but I will be back soon, I promise.

Happy Birthday Huwa.

I was never pressured to become anyone thing. My father believed I could and should be anything I wanted.
"Failure resides in mediocrity. Stand out, be different, give to the world what they believe doesn't exist yet."
I'll try and I hope you'll see me succeed.

Goodbye Daddy.

After I'd moved to France in 2022, I had such a hard time taking care of my hair. There were VERY few salons available for Afro hair and because they weren't common, they were also expensive. Luckily, I had learned how to braid and style my hair with extensions during the lockdown but it took at least 3 days!

I was not looking forward to getting my hair undone because it meant either leaving my hair out, which meant treating and combing on a daily basis, or setting aside THREE WHOLE DAYS to braid my hair.

I stumbled on a post, I cannot remember what platform it was, but I knew I needed to get immediately. The fact that I didn't have to comb my hair ever again was the most inviting to be honest 😭 but that isn't the only advantage to getting . The chance to let your hair breathe and not worry if it was "too rough", or not silky enough. I didn't have to care about my edges and I certainly did not set aside three days for anything. My hair leaves her own life and I leave mine.

PS: I did this myself by putting my hair in twists ✌🏾

When they asked me where I've been.
I don't talk about this often but I'm not a full time writer, poet, performer.
I'm actually an engineer and an active researcher😭. I work on the sidelines as a voiceover artists and content strategist depending on my mood.

My life has been a collection of hobbies, aspirations and adventures. So when you don't see my videos here please don't get worried so much just know that I'm probably in a lab somewhere, or in an ideation meeting with creatives, swimming or I'm crocheting a new blanket.

Thank y'all so much for the love, for reaching out but I'm doing fine! I usually take this moment to work on new content so you'll know it'll be banging when I return 🤎.

My second short story The Backyard has been published on
I absolutely LOVED working on this and what makes this even more unique is that I got the chance to provide an AUDIO version!
Spoken word has always been about me writing stories and finding ways to connect them emotions in my heart to a medium my audience can connect with.
Over the years and through many rejection letters, I figured I finally know how.
If you ever get the chance to read/listen to it, please leave a comment. I wait impatiently to know what you think😅.
