Babies are just über-present in my reality right now. Perhaps that’s just God’s way of preparing me in time, I mean, way in time. I am indeed already a wife & mother – in the spirit. The essence of what & who we truly are has been written down as part of the foundation of [...]

It’s still a work in progress but felt like sharing South African fashion & fashion statements with my folks back home. Hence, the birth of Abantu Afrowear. Whatever I find on my notorious shopping spreads & what I can’t buy for myself, well, you’ll find it on this homepage. Ready to be shipped over the [...]

Good news for the eco-friendly car lovers out there: South Africa’s roads will soon see the emerge of the first home-bred (six-seater!) electric car called Joule! The chassis has been designed to accommodate two large-cell lithium ion battery packs, but since research shows that 99 percent of urban users drive less than 150km a day, [...]
Greening the Ghetto

I watched this video a while back, back in the days when I still had high-speed internet at my disposal. Marjora Carter, she moved me big time & is a true inspiration for me. How much we are possible to change the world, our world, if we just set our mind on it…

One of my poems has been featured in the latest Botsotso magazine! You can’t find the content online, so I wanna share the poem with you this way. It is one of my favourite performance pieces & I haven’t linked to it in an earlier post on my poetry yet so here it is! Two [...]
So You Really Think You’re Not Racist?
Posted in Black knowledge, I write what I like, tagged racism, whiteness on 2 October, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A recent online discussion regarding intentional vs. unintentional racism brought the lack of self-reflection amongst many white folks back into sight (don’t ask me where it was hiding…). The usual statements came up à la: “Lighten up, you are taking things way too serious!” “Racism lies in the eyes of the beholder” “If it wasn’t meant [...]

This weekend I went on a shopping trip with my dear sistah-friend & fellow Afro-Berlinoise Royalty Imeh. We got high high high & carried away on afro-chic clothes. Imeh can reason though: She’d never find these Steve Biko, Angela Davis, I Love My Africa tees anywhere in Germany. High quality, made on African soil, no sweat [...]

Evolving consciousness or awareness might feel depriving at times. You can’t just gulp down that ice cream anymore without being aware of the reasons for your cravings [...]
