My woman crush Wednesday is the lovely beauty and brains behind the fashion brand Kokonanga   I could write an expose about why I love her brand and how she embodies her panafricanism beyond her fashion statements but i'll let you be the judge of that by sharing snippets of it below. Follow her on social media Twitter:  @KoKoNanga   Instagram: Kokonanga Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KokoNangaOfficial/ Etsy: Enanga You know you want to ^_^ For more information how you can work with her please email   info@kokonanga.com

I recently attended an amazing woman's 50th Golden Jubilee Birthday Celebration. The event was packed with friends, family members, co workers and even some of her past students from when she was a teacher, showed up to honor her. I was deeply touched by all their wonderful testimonies about the impact she made in their lives. To top of the event, some of her classmates from when she was a young girl in boarding school (Okoyong-Cameroon), were also present at the event. Amazing to see the sisterhood continue after 30 years of graduating.  As a product of boarding school myself, and also as a girl with no sisters, I cannot stress how important the friendships i made in school are to me today. The event got me thinking about my life. When I turn 50....we shall not talk about how far/near I am to that figure :).... - will I still have the same friendships I have today? - will i like the lady above be surrounded by friends and families -wil...

I recently got my Debra Debs Whuman cd in the mail and I am happy to announce that it was NOT a disappointment. With the premature recent rise in people interested in becoming musicians and fashion clothing's and accessories designers, consumers like myself have become apprehensive in trying out the young and upcoming talents. This reluctance stems from the fact that most of these individuals either do not have the credentials ( did not go to arts school or have previous experience working in the industry) or have in the past presented very sloppy and incomplete products. But this WHUMAN cd was definitely not the case. I loved all 4 tracks and have had it in the car on repeat everyday on my commute to work and back. Being a Ex-Sakereth ^_^, I am not surprised at how polish the album was. We have that reputation of excelling in all that we do. A little bit on the artist from her website: Cameroon-born, London-based soul singer ...

HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY!!!!!! 50 YEARS AGO...on January 29th 1962, my alma matta opened its doors to 36 girls and today is the top ranking all girl's boarding school in the Republc of Cameroon. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Be it in academics, the arts or athletics, Saker girls have a reputation in excelling in all that we do. This same spirit of discipline, sisterhood, self reliance and hardwork ethics has followed must of us into our lives post-Saker. .   My two favourite principals ever! My Hardy :)  &  BoBo who had the task of serving as daddy to hundreds of emotional girls Going to Boarding school is an experience that leaves a lifetime impact on you. You are forced to confront your worst enemy :thyself You quickly learn things about yourself you never knew; your weaknesses, strengths and that you have the resilience to stick it through the hard times. I think that it is the best way to prepare teens and young adults to face the jungle (the real wor...
