 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Late to the party, but here I am. English men say “better late than never.” There was a lot of second guessing for me to get here. But let’s do this.

To be honest, the corona virus pandemic added on struggles that were already there for me as a creative and a human being. Since this theme is being wrapped up today I will highlight the highs and lows in as far as being a creative is concerned.

In my other life, I was definitely your tuber and a podcaster. Trust me I have been wanting to start a podcast for the past non-existent 10,000 years. I wanted to tackle everything and anything that happens around me because I love talking. While at it, I had imagined myself making a little something from it. That podcast is still a dream in the making because of the virus. Enlisted the help of four other friends of mine from secondary school so we could address what it  is about Marymount Girls in Mzuzu, Malawi. Due to physical gathering limitations and of course high data costs with a sprinkle of procrastination. The podcast is still a poster.

Hold on, I was not the only creative affected, the most anticipated movie “Fatsani “failed to premier as shooting had been put on hold because of the Rona. So we had to feed our attention on the trailer till this year. For what it’s worth the wait was worth it. There were lots of lost opportunities for different creatives in the industry most especially artists who depend on bookings, live shows and exhibitions.

On the brighter side, I got to participate in a poetry showdown that took place online. Thanks to Zimbabwean youth for innovation for giving us that platform to keep our art alive. For your own information, I am a poet on the side. I also had a chance to make a presentation on “the next star” platform on app sharing information with upcoming artists. Story for another day. Banks started embracing online platforms like social media to stream performances as well as showcase other things. Before we knew it, artists were back in business.

Now I really wish I could vlog or podcast this, I guess you can do with the pictures and a teaser i threw in


. At this point, there is only one thing left to say Winter Africa blogging challenge accepted.

      I am very chuffed with the compliments, thank you. It is really a struggle to balance it all out. I find myself slacking most of the time. So i am really trying to get a hang of everything. Hoping i can consistently write on here.

Stop Body Shaming

  For this particular topic, I am really struggling with where to begin so I will just simply go with the flow. Since time immemorial, my country people have always had issues with how women look and dress. Let me take you back to the time a woman was stripped naked in Blantyre town for wearing something “the streets” deemed inappropriate. The strange thing about cases like these, is the fact that most of the clothes that are seen as not fit to wear are actually sold by the same vendors that undress women. If people are not talking about how short something a woman is wearing, they are talking about how fat, slim, figureless one is. They are including in their diction words that are demeaning and inappropriate. Fast forward to last week, there was an inaugural annual fashion show event at Bingu International Conference center (BICC) by Mabel Khonje dubbed “Boudoir” which translates to a woman’s private bedroom. The fashion show was showcasing lingerie and swim suits. To keep you ...

CHOOSE KINDNESS

  14 days into July, well the second half of the year, not that anybody is actually counting but that’s that. I should have been posting this piece on July first or somewhere there about but Personally, the year has been going unbelievably “Jumanji” the next level for me. Will get into the “what nots “of what has been going on another time or never. All I know is I have been feeling like nothing has been going my way literally nothing. Modern slang “nothing doing” accurately describes the scenario at the moment.     Yes, it is as bad as it sounds, so I won’t be bringing to the lime light the intricate details of the scenarios but I will paint a picture in case someone out there feels like they are alone. I made it to top three of an internship that I have always wanted only to be left out, the writing gig I enjoyed so much fell through because my life was actually falling apart, I met someone who I thought I could build something with but gosh it ended in tears. So litera...

I know you have been anxiously waiting for my very first post on my blog. I sincerely apologize to have kept you waiting…I hope it was worth the wait. There are a lot of bloggers out here blogging about a whole lot of things. I have friends who blog about food, some natural hair, others writing, others have vlogs about travelling and dance. I thought about why not blog about real life, my life as it happens, my experiences, joy, pain, disappointment, fears, hopes, laughter, excitement, GOD , trending topics…. LOVE . So, I know you probably have debated this with your friends or saw it trending on Social media this past week. You know what? This is not the first time I have seen such a reaction from People in this country pertaining to a matter of public interest. I am not saying that it is wrong to criticize where necessary but criticism must be constructive. The issue of Daliso Sails , who I believe has become more popular than he was before his infamous interview. So appar...
