I work in the beauty industry and every time I go into the office a man tries to hit on me. As if it’s not enough insult that a woman’s field is dominated by men, they also feel the need to make their presence known. Before you tell me to take it up with the […]

Most of us saw Beauty and the Beast when we were younger (or even yesterday, we won’t judge!). It was a nice story that hinged on the really beautiful heroine falling for the beast (literally) and breaking the curse. While in a fairy tale that is plausible, there are instances in real life you may […]

“Hi. Are you up?” The text read. I was up but I didn’t reply. It was 2 am. Who texts someone at 2 am? I’ll tell you who. Stalkers and drunk friends. Thank God I turned off my last seen on WhatsApp otherwise it would have been a slippery slope. The next morning, I got […]
