What I’ve Learned in the Pandemic (So Far…)

Well, we are about 8 months into this thing. Honestly, did not think we would still be here but we are and it’s taking a heavy mental shift to accept this current new reality as is. Like most people, when the pandemic first hit, I was distraught. Emotionally, it was hard to wrap my mind around wtf was…

How My Upbringing Never Prepared me for Death

Nothing could have ever prepared me for losing my mom. I mean nothing. My family never really talked about death (and what to do after someone dies). Growing up in a Christian (and Nigerian) family, it was always taught that death would not come near us until old age. Death was something to cast away fervently and by doing so…

When It’s Necessary to be a “No (Wo)Man”

2018 Goals

2017 sucked. While there were a few positive moments, the negative was quite overwhelming. I would say that this year comes in at very very close second of being one of the hardest years of my life (2016 taking the cake). I am vowing that 2018 will be much better, by God’s grace. So, here I am, writing…

#SeyiSpeaks: Relationships

Alright y’all. I am touching on a topic that I have rarely ever talked about…like ever. RELATIONSHIPS! More specifically, intimate relationships. I was inspired by the always beautiful Victoria Sanders of Vic Styles to share this piece of my life because it may just resonate with some of you. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP…

My Grief Journey

It’s been 9 months since my mom passed…9 whole months. It’s kind of crazy to think it’s even been that long. I wish that time will slow down for just a minute so I can catch my breath. But, time waits for no one, not even the grieving. This post is sharing…
