Again, I am begging my fellow African researchers & their administrators to send *calendar invitations* for virtual meetings. Simply emailing a link is woefully inadequate. Everyone is busy & calendars are extremely key for organization. Still emailing links in big 2025?! Haba!

10/10 recommend learning how to shamelessly ask for all that you want because you’ll be surprised at how many people are willing to simply give it to you, and more.

I’ve learnt that as an adult, the one thing you should possess dearly is INTENTION. You have to be intentional about building relationships, routines, showing up & most importantly, be intentional about creating time to REST. There will always be something that wants your time.

Nothing exposes your need for character development like a Relationship. You’ll think you have sense, until you realize you have issues with communication, you’re impatient, defensive or have trust issues.

30 minutes ago my son announced that he’s going to learn how to start a fire and walked out of the house. There’s a fire running on the braai stand right now and I’ve asked him if he wants to barbecue boerewors for lunch 😅

Listening to a talk about Chemsex and I’m so thrilled to hear the speaker highlight that “sex is fun”. It’s disappointing how this rarely comes up in the discourse about our work. We focus on STIs and HIV but not within the context that sex is fun!

Speak up. Spend freely. Tell Congress to create a de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin that allows us to spend our money on gas, groceries, and everyday costs with no strings attached. Act today.

For my birthday this year, I’m celebrating another year of life by trying to help improve the quality of life of vulnerable pregnant women. I’ve partnered with an organization called Mother’s Comfort. They support vulnerable pregnant women who often can’t afford antenatal care.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but: Love shows up. If someone loves you they show you in many ways. Small ways, big ways, average ways but they show up. They answer. They are there when you need them.

My “best friend” got married a couple months ago. I was not invited, and can only guess why. I found out shortly after it happened, but I didn’t say anything. Over these past months, we’ve talk at least weekly. Nothing was ever said. Today I finally blocked her on everything. 16

Africans are among my favourite people 😃 You can always trust us to break into dance. The moment someone starts beating a drum it’s a party 😆
