Alicia took another look at the printed results in her hands and blinked severally. She gulped through a lump that was forming in her throat. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. The results actually said “Positive!” Jesus! I am HIV Positive! Jesus! Her thoughts immediately shifted to […]
Hey hey! I’m taking The Spotlight to a whole new level!!! Today, I’m doing my first ever interview of an Author, which will be part of the #UfuomaeeInterviews series, under my Book Reviews category. Every now and then, I will interview a special author or publisher that I really like to talk about some […]
Hi y’all! Welcome to another episode of The Spotlight. I’ve got another interesting post I’d like to spotlight today, and it deals with racism. I really have to give kudos to this writer because what he wrote was deep, honest and paradigm changing. It required a rare kind […]
I don’t know about you, but being an author and being someone who has connected with a lot of authors since becoming one, I’ve learnt a lot about these people called “authors”, and how best to treat them. My instinct, when someone tells me they have written a […]
Have you ever wondered why someone who has it all; fame and fortune and even a family that loves them, would take their own lives? Have you ever wondered how you can have so many friends and fans and yet feel so alone, that you have no one […]
Happy Weekend, y’all. I hope it’s going well. I really do. It’s been a sad week for many of us, with constant news reports about people who we feel had it going for them suddenly giving up and taking their own lives… It makes you wonder, how bad […]
Hey y’all! Happy New Month! Actually, in the spirit of the book I just read, I don’t know why people say “Happy New Month!” I don’t understand the obsession with the celebration of every little thing… But maybe I should save that rant for another post! So, welcome […]
1. I love that you are not easily broken. Though you fall often and are beaten and oppressed, you are resilient and passionate about life and determined to survive. 2. I love that even when things are hard for you, you can always find the words to say […]
1. I hate that I can’t make you do anything. No matter how often I ask you or beg you. You do exactly what you want, when you want and how you want. 2. I hate that you often follow the crowd. Whatever is trending is what you […]
I didn’t say it… Remember, this is The Spotlight, so somebody said it! And mehn, am I pissed?! Now, don’t get mad at my author either, she didn’t say it. But she brought it to my attention, through the post I am spotlighting on my blog today. Her […]
Over the last couple of days, I’ve been musing on Feminism, as a Feminist and a Christian. Following Chimamanda Adichie’s faux pas to Hillary Clinton, and reading an exceptional take by a friend of mine on the subject, I’ve been challenged to address the validity and relevance of […]
“…if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Corinthians 8:2). The danger of radicalism is that you can be radically wrong. So, I’ve said it, point blank, and I am now going to buttress on it. You […]
This thought came to me yesterday as I was once again deriding myself for not looking better. For not looking all made up and attractive according to the world’s standards. And I wondered, is that really who I am? Is that my standard? Or is this non-caring, easy-going […]
Last night, I started musing on how the Bible is like a maze on Instagram. It was a revelation that came to me, as I was reading a fictional novel about marriage, domestic abuse and infidelity. I was trying to comprehend how to apply all of what God […]
Hi guys! Happy Easter to you all. I hope you are basking in the grace and love of God! Over the last week, I’ve been busy compiling my articles, poems and short stories into special collections that will bless and encourage you all in this walk of faith. […]
