  • Bruno Mars/ Anderson. Paak/ Silk Sonic: "Leave the Door Open" 


Bruno Mars is back!  This time he brings Anderson. Paak with him  as they form a new duo named Silk Sonic. This song give me extreme 70's nostalgia. This song will have a long chart run and will receive tons of accolades. 

  • Chris Evans Instagram account
Chris Evans joining Instagram last year was a highlight of my year. He posts tons of content of his beautiful dog, the changing seasons, pranks and romantic thirst traps( e.g looking directly in the camera while he plays the piano). It is a gift that keeps on giving. 

  • African Beaches
Atlantic Ocean( Liberian edition)


I spent that last few weeks of 2020 and the first month of 2021 in Africa (specifically in Liberia and the Ivory Coast). For those who know, Africa really is the future. I am trying to find ways to move back to the continent permanently. God willing, it will be within the next two years.  Whenever I go back to the motherland, it always heals me.  Everything brings me joy but the beaches are my happy place. 
  • The Laverne Cox Show
The magnificent Laverne Cox has decided to release a podcast that soothes my soul every Thursday. Every episode I  learn something new, I heal and I grow. Out of all the podcast that I listen to, this is the only one that I listen to once a new episode drops. Her podcast can be found wherever you find your podcasts. 
  • Being a plant Mom
I have always enjoyed gardening and taking care of plants. While in lockdown I became a more attentive plant mom. I have attempted to nourish succulents(with not much prevail)  and even had an avocado plant for a little bit. I unfortunately lost her during the winter months. I have a Mamey Croton that has two new leaves coming through. I love watching her grow. I am taking care of an Elephant Bush succulent which is proving to be quite resilient during the winter. He is beautiful and he is brought me so much joy. I love being a plant mom. I love researching new plants and buying new plants.  Being a plant mom fulfills me. 
  • The King's Podcast
About 18 months ago, I flirted with an idea to start a podcast. Last November, The King's Podcast was born. I wanted  a space where I could continue my passion for film and television. It has progressed to include hot topics that have emerged within the entertainment industry. It is a lot of work and I feel that I am finally not letting my inner critic take hold. If you want to know what films or TV shows to watch check out my podcast.

Few months ago I posted my first Feminist Wednesday video. Feminist Wednesday is a day I celebrate a female artist who makes me proud to be a female. Today I am celebrating the magnificent P!nk. My word when I think I can't love P!nk anymore than I do, she goes and does this. Can we talk for a minute about her flawless performance at this year's AMA. That is how you perform live folks. Here for your viewing pleasure is the powerful video for her second single off The   Truth about Love.

Moving on, starting fresh

-
I DID IT! I graduated college! All the sleepless nights, pulling of the hair and crying myself to sleep have paid off, I now have my college diploma. Now that I have ended one successful chapter in my life I am looking forward to embarking on the next one. I am looking forward to igniting the flame inside of me and turning it into a full blown bonfire. I am not sure what the future holds but I cannot wait to find out. When I was five I never thought I was going to live in Tunisia or Mozambique for that matter. I never would have imagined that if I put my mind to it I could study abroad in Australia nor did i think I would go to college in upstate New York. I have done so pretty much amazing things but I still want to do more. I want to see the world, get touched spiritually and emotionally by incredible individuals, hopefully bring joy to all of those around me, laugh more, cry less, regret less, write more, cook more and live each day to its fullest. In effort to start anew I have d

He doesn't even need to ask

-
Over a month ago, I watched the absolutely beautiful My Own Private Idaho . I had a bit of a revelation after watching the film. Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask". Then a light bulb went off in my head. What exactly was I insinuating by that remark. Was I suggesting that because he was so attractive he does not need to ask for my permission to have sexual relations with me? After much thought, I realized that was what I was suggesting. As someone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I was completely
