My advise to any young woman in her 20s… focus on building your career, men will come a dime a dozen in your lifetime. It’s really sad to see women’s careers digress, stay stagnant etc all because they chose men over their careers. If you ever have to choose, choose your career.

Wasting food should be made illegal. This is the call from SA Harvest. It says supermarkets and restaurants should be forced to donate unsold, but edible food. Over 20 million people go to bed hungry every night, while 10 million tonnes of food is thrown away. SA Harvest says

I understand you. Im also aware of the deep connection that Africans have to land, the sense of belonging it brings. Ownership for us isnt just for its own sake,it gives a sense of security & where we commune. Given our painful history with land its probably deeply psychological.

Man.. that’s my bestie fr fr. Mosadi yo o wa a tsoga le nna. I see her as human before she is my mother, she respects my life choices without judgement, she guides me with love. It wasn’t always this way, but growth & acceptance on both sides gave us a beautiful relationship.

We have so many people to thank and show gratitude to…I’ve been so emotional all day because it’s really so humbling for people to show up in the various ways they did. Our tribe really showed up, even before the wedding. Just another affirmation that Modimo wa re rata 🥺❤️

Some people would never apologize even if it kills them, they’d rather continue digging themselves deeper into an issue to save face. A simple “I apologize, I initially misunderstood what you meant” could’ve easily deaded that interaction.
