From dust to glitter! Women's Day 2022!

Inspired by all the wonderful women around me beginning from my mother. 

It's been a rough cycle of years for us women. From being little girls; learning to take up roles of ‘assisting’ only and keeping our mouths shut ‘ girls don't shout like that’. Growing up in communities already deeply run by notions such as, ‘a woman cannot occupy spaces that require all her time because she has to make a home and care for her babies’.
Newly inspired by the awakening happening around the world. Women lending voices of hope, women leading packs, standing for what is right and never relenting. 
Furthermore, inspired by my sisters, by the love we share and the beliefs we've grown to adopt. Also, by our father - Isaac Naze never allowing us suffer, never belittling our voices and always celebrating our wins with everything he has, and all the other men out there who truly love and support us.
It's a new dawn for women. We're moving further and leaving the past behind us. We're refusing to let the naysayers push us to the dust. We're opening our mouths, shouting in public places, mixing our passions with homemaking and rebranding our communities.
Cheers to us, the women who see the future. Cheers to us, the women who want a change. Cheers to us, the women who believe in love and humanity. Cheers to WOMEN; weak/strong, short/tall, fat/slim, scarred/beautiful, married/unmarried, young/old, beaten but not broken. We're the future.
Happy International Women's Day 2022!

Personality profile: This and that about this writer.

 New blog post: teeny facts ‘or not’ about this writer. Heyyy, long time no see. How are you holding up? I have to say the cold in this place is turning me to a jelly in a jar. Okay, hollup, seems like I’m deviating. Lol, guess that’s one fact or not about me…I love to talk. Let’s move to the basics. Maybe you’re wondering why I had to do this. I know, it’s not like I’m one celebrity or something but I’m your favourite writer (yeah, I heard you say so). Who knows, I may be one in two years from now or less cos why do I have you? Push me push me so I can have lots of money for giveaways 🙃 My name is Naze Salome Sewuese. Other names are Kristin, and of course, baby 😅. I’m a female woman (have to be real specific there). I come from a family of seven. My dad is an auditor and my mum is a teacher and a caterer and they both run a poultry house. I’m the second out of five girls. There’s Tee, myself, Seember, Nguamo and Mimi. I have my primary and secondary certificates fro...

A Year of Service, A Lifetime of Lessons

Service, friendship, growth They say life is in stages- I agree. But if I hadn’t passed through the challenges that came with NYSC and made it to this point, I’d probably still be in comatose, asking God “Why me?” Before graduation, my friends; Lucy, Kyen, Melody, and I, discussed where we’d love to be posted for service. We’d done the entire four (technically six) years of university together, so it only made sense to plan to do life after school together, or at least close enough. We compared dreams, and they basically aligned. Little did we know. You know, when you’re in a particular stage of life and preparing for its end, the only logical thing to do is to dream of better, to stay optimistic, because faith, among other things, teaches us to believe that there’s always better ahead. Camp was the experience. I’d attended boarding school and even gone to camp as a junior cadet back in secondary school. I remember an endurance trek we went on one morning that nearly rendered my legs i...

Dare to dream- you are more than the figure you see in the mirror.

In one episode of Young Sheldon, Sheldon asked the librarian what her religion was because he was learning about different religions in order to find the one he liked better. She said her religion teaches that when people die they go their own planets but women have to go to their husband's planet, except her because she's single.    In all 23 years of my life, I have battled with people's different beliefs in relation to love, respect and ambitions. It's been a tough and conflicting battle on what to belief as right or not. I have made my own assumptions and research based on what I've been taught intentionally and I believe at this point, I have the right standing.     The argument about God's intention when he took a rib out of man to create woman is one that can put one's brain in a turmoil. Did God mean for a woman to only be a helpmate and not have her own identity? Did he instruct Adam to be fruitful, multiply and subdue the earth by himself?   ...
