THE GIFT OF FAMILY.

The gregarious nature of man does not allow him to live in solitude. Trust me no one wants to be alone, not forever.The content and understanding of family varies across cultures. What, comprises of family in your opinion? It could be your biological parents and siblings, spouse, friends, pets, neighbours, work colleagues, classmates, church member/pastor, or a good Samaritan. However you define family, you may find it in one or more of the genres mentioned.
Our survival on this earth is somewhat determined by the presence of a representation of these groups. Family is a gift from God. They are with through through your entire life; through the fights and quarrels, pain and heartbreaks, misunderstandings and conflicts, peaceful times, joyous moments and celebrations. This is God's promise to us, his children, that he will be with us to the end. And he keeps his promise with the gift of family.
When you find yourself on another part of the globe you immediately want to call your mother, friend, a loved one or even your pet dog (lol) so you can hear a familiar voice or share your experience. How would life be if you were left on your own to survive after birth. With the best health care and most nutritious meals no baby will survive without some tender love and care from another human.

It is impossible not to have a family. No matter what you are not alone in the world;someone loves you, God loves.

‘Slay queens’ and the gendered politics of poverty

Moesha Boduong is a 30-year old Ghanaian actress, model and social media influencer. Moesha likes to serenade her 2.3m followers on Instagram with pictures of her lavish lifestyle.

The era of social media has highlighted a new phenomenon of ‘slay queens’, a phrase whose meaning has varied over time; from the positive – women “killing it” in their careers and lifestyles to the negative – women dating rich, often married, men to fund their lavish lifestyles. Moesha was for a long time tagged by bloggers as a slay queen. Many believed this was confirmed after she admitted in an interview in 2018 with CNN’s Christine Amanpour to dating a married man who took care of her because of the harsh economic conditions in Ghana. Another woman in that interview admitted to dating in exchange for being taken care of, although her beau was a single man. Slay q...

THE POLITICS OF AFRICAN HAIR: Why is African Hair Unpopular?

I finally shared the full story behind my hair on my Tv show Inside Pages on Metro Tv. Today I’m going to give MY TAKE on the Achimota school-Rastafarianism-dreadlocks saga and it will be about MY HAIR EXPERIENCE- as you know and can see I have kept my hair in its natural state for years and there’s a story behind it. First, I’ll talk about My Big Chop and then 2 major experiences after the chop. • The big chop In my second year at the University of Ghana, in 2008 I made a practical decision. I stopped applying perming cream to my hair to straighten and remove the texture. I did this to allow for new growth in anticipation of a big chop. This was contradictory to the wild joy I embraced soon after completing SSS, now SHS. Perming my hair was the long-awaited moment of freedom from the many years of compulsory cutting of hair per the rules of mainstream education. But few years down the line, it was no longer freedom and joy because of the cuts and burns from the perming cream. My hair ...
