While scrolling through Instagram today, I read a caption which said our diversity is our strength and our inclusion is our power. This message has a powerful meaning. 

As we think of ways to improve our rights as women let's know that we are beautiful and unique no matter the shape or size we come in. We are also each other's support and strength when we come together. 

I personally didn't feel like wearing the women's day fabric on this day because I'm not so in a festive mode. I've heard a lot of cases of domestic violence on women recently and I feel so bad that it's not really being addressed so that real solutions will be found. The only thing we can do is to advise and sensitize the victims in particular to leave when they see the signs. But we need structures that can rescue, receive and follow up these women when they leave. 

That's why you should take time to meditate today about what you can do to improve the lives of other women this year as you celebrate your amazing self because your resilience, strength and intelligence deserves to be celebrated. 

Happy women's day my dear 💐🥂🍾

Hello good people. Hope you are doing well today. 

The year may have started somehow but this is another chance. Reset your priorities and objectives and just start. 

Hi everyone. Hope you are doing well. This past week was a whirlwind of productivity and fun for me. 

I spent the majority of my time planning and creating content for my two other blogs, Ngumabi's Glam and Kaolosphere. It was so fulfilling to see my ideas come to life and to work on something that I am truly passionate about. The process of brainstorming and creating content was both challenging and rewarding, and it left me feeling motivated and inspired for the weeks to come.

I developed an appetite for chocolate and wine I didn't hold myself back. I spent some evenings sipping wine and eating chocolate as I wondered how it will affect my weight loss journey. But I enjoyed it without worrying too much. I have been cautious with eating too much lately and I've seen results though I have not exercised for weeks now.  

The weather last week was scorching hot, so the little bit of rain that we did get was a welcomed relief. It helped cool the heat and made the days a little more bearable. Despite the busy week and the hot weather, I managed to attend a meeting at Mboa Hub earlier in the week. Mboa Hub is a center that works to motivate and guide youths in taking action against climate change. It is empowering to be a part of such an important initiative and to see the impact that this organization is having on the community.

To cap off the week, I attended the one year anniversary celebration at Mboa Hub this past Sunday. The event was filled with music, food, and fun activities. Although I arrived late due to some errands I needed to run, I still had a blast celebrating with the amazing team at Mboa Hub. I was tired by the end of the day but it was well worth it to be surrounded by such positive energy and like-minded individuals.

Overall, last week was a week filled with productivity, creativity, and celebration. I am grateful for the opportunities that came my way and I am excited to see what the future holds. Here's to more planning, creating, and celebrating in the weeks to come!

In our increasingly interconnected world, the ability to communicate in multiple languages not only facilitates deeper connections with people from diverse backgrounds but also opens doors to new cultures and perspectives. Embracing linguistic diversity can truly enrich our lives and broaden our understanding of the world. 

   As the most spoken language globally, learning Mandarin provides a gateway to the rich tapestry of Chinese culture, history, and philosophy. It offers a profound understanding of one of the world's oldest civilizations.

   With over 400 million speakers, Spanish unlocks access to the vibrant and diverse cultures of Spain, Latin America, and Hispanic communities around the world. It is a language of passion, music, literature, and folklore.

   A language of poetry, calligraphy, and profound religious significance, Arabic provides insight into the rich heritage of the Middle East and North Africa. Learning Arabic fosters an appreciation for Islamic culture and traditions.

   Renowned for its elegance and diplomacy, French is a language of art, romance, and haute cuisine. It is the key to understanding the heritage of France, parts of Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, and significant regions in Africa.

   Swahili's influence spans a vast region of East Africa, where it serves as a lingua franca. By learning Swahili, one gains an understanding of the mix of cultures and traditions in East Africa and connects with the region's diverse communities.

   From traditional tea ceremonies to modern technological innovations, the Japanese language unveils the depth of Japan's ancient traditions and contemporary pop culture. Mastery of Japanese offers a window into a society that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation.

   Learning Russian opens the door to the rich artistic, literary, and scientific traditions of Russia and neighboring Slavic countries. It provides a lens through which to explore the complexities of Eastern Europe and Eurasia.

   The language of philosophers and scientists, German offers access to centuries of intellectual and cultural contributions. Understanding German allows for a deep dive into the influential history and modern achievements of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

By embracing these languages, individuals can embark on a journey of cultural enrichment, gaining insights that transcend linguistic barriers. The pursuit of language learning is not merely an act of acquiring words and grammar; it is a pathway to deeper empathy, understanding, and appreciation for the diversity that defines humanity.

Let's celebrate the beauty of linguistic diversity and commit ourselves to broadening our horizons through the acquisition of new languages. As we learn to communicate across cultures, our world becomes richer, more interconnected, and profoundly more compassionate.

Hi guys. Hope you are doing well this new week. 

Last week has been filled with new ideas, unexpected adventures, and plenty of heartwarming moments. 

I've been doing some thinking about the kind of content I create because I want it to be something people really enjoy. So, I took a step back and revisited why I started my blog in the first place - to share my experiences and knowledge with others so they don't feel alone and maybe even learn a thing or two from my stories. I'm also excited about the new types of content I'm bringing to the blog, like themes for each day. 

Monday is all about weekly recaps and lifestyle, 

Tuesday focuses on personal development, 

Wednesday is for fashion, 

Thursday shines a light on beauty, and 

Friday offers tips for being cultured. 

Then we have Saturday for food, and 

Sunday for women's issues. 

Plus, I'll sprinkle in topics like travel and events as they come up. You can expect a new blog post every single day as from now.

Hope you had a great youth day. Last week was a busy one because it was Youth Week, and my kid had their cultural day and an excursion. Getting everything ready was quite tiring, but I ended up making my daughter's cultural day dress all by myself. To top it off, I had to sew it by hand because the electricity went out just when I started. It was definitely unexpected, but I enjoyed the challenge and was eager to see how it turned out.

In the midst of everything, there was also some not-so-fun news about fuel prices going up. It's already stirring talks of potentially higher costs for things like food and other necessities. On a brighter note, I treated myself to a new nose ring that I really love, some roasted fish that I enjoyed and I whipped up some delicious banana beignets that put smiles on my kids' faces.

The weekend wrapped up with the finals of the African Cup of Nations - AFCON, and guess what? The team I was backing, Ivory Coast, clinched the victory! I was over the moon, and I've been giggling at all the fun comments online ever since.

On the long weekend, I spent most of my time creating content for the upcoming week, and I really hope you'll enjoy what's in store. With a blog post lined up for every single day, I can't wait to share these new stories and experiences with you.

Here's to a wonderful new week ahead, filled with joy, laughter, and exciting adventures. Wishing you all the best! Let's make it a great one!
