When Are Black Africans Who Complain About Colonialism Going to Stop Shaving Their Daughters Bald, Then Buying Fake Hair?
Monday, 1 January 2024 By: TB Obwoge Some people actually believe that Black African women, can't grow their hair, they honestly believe that it's in their DNA to not grow hair our their heads. I know so many Africans that would be angry about this, however people outside of a African countries wonder why Black African women and girls often have very short hair cuts.

How Roars Are Made. Content Warning.
It happens when you know a thing beyond certainty but cannot explain the ‘how’ or ‘why.’ Add to that, negotiating an ancient rite of passage within contemporary society that often nonchalantly assumes you don’t know what’s best...yet.

Best foods for breastfeeding mothers
The greatest title in the world is the title of mother. It is because of the pain you bear to hurt a child, turning your blood into milk and giving it to the baby, and trying to raise the child to be useful to society in the future. You need to eat right during the very special period of your blood sugar, right? It is very normal for your body to go through various changes after childbirth. Many mothers experience their bodies getting a little bigger. So you might be wondering how to get a slim body again.

What Is A Woman?. Top Story - December 2023.
When I see videos like the one below with Charlie Kirk persistently asking college students one question, "What is a woman?" and students stumbling to answer or seemingly not able to give him an answer that would satisfy his inquisitive mind, as a teacher I'm baffled.

Is Personal Agency Only for the Young?. Top Story - December 2023.
I am angry. This week I was Threading through Threads and came across a post from a woman that said, among other things: "How can I make my mother stop coloring her hair and just go grey? She's 62 and not fooling anyone; she and her friends are old and it's time that she acts her age."

Beauty- inner, outer and everything in between.
It is a bizarre notion , but what is considered beautiful at any given time in the society, is constantly changing, not unlike the fashion trends. Bizarre, because unlike clothes - people have a soul. Yet, they too are made to feel disposable. If they allow it of course.

Black Patient; Jefferson Health Breast Cancer Surgeon's Joke About Me Losing My Nipple During Lumpectomy Surgery . Content Warning.
Friday, 17 November 2023 By: TB Obwoge I was 46-years old, when I found out that I had breast cancer. It was one of the scariest days of my life. I didn't have much of a support system, my family is large and splintered. They're a bunch of strangers that share some of the same DNA as I do, a lot of them don't share the same feelings about life's issues either.

This Too Shall Pass
Every time I think I know the lay of the land, things change. Mountains rise in front of me where I’m not expecting them. I lean forward, pushing my heels into the earth and hike upwards. The things I thought would bother me don’t seem so bad. The anticipated ick of chemo – no taste buds, bit of nausea, exhaustion, loss of more cranial peach fuzz – it seems okay… even, manageable. Truthfully, the anticipation of losing my hair was far worse than the actual head shaving experience. I’m getting used to things – sort of.
