The Speech

I graduated from University on Wednesday.  I am alive just doing lots of toasting, wine drinking and enjoying myself really. I have felt so many emotions coming up to this moment. I must say that I did not cry, which many of my friends thought that I would. Yayyyy me, #notearsonraduationday, #classof2012. 

All in all I would just like to thank all of my friends and family members who supported me financially emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Those who had unwavering confidence in my abilities to get this degree done (and still do). Even though at times I was trying to lead myself off the garden path, you were always there to listen and bring me back to my centre. 

To my lecturers thank you for stepping up the the challenge of being educators and passing on your knowledge, experience and support to not only myself but my peers.

Some friends/confidants have been there from the beginning, some joined in along the way, but one thing they all share, is that they saw and believed in the greatness I possess and to you all I say thank you. 

For all the well wishes and the gifts I say thank you, for all the wine and rum and cokes thank you. I wish you guys the best and hopefully you will be here in great health when I do my masters.

Autumn House happenings: A revelation

Today I was bored as hell you I was just chilling then I came across the strangest thing. Then I really had to read it again and again and again to really let it sink in that what I read was such. Then it hit me BAM You know what the problem is with Black Women? They have no damn sense Yes they went to University read and learned what was in the books, graduated top of the class, but still they have no sense. They operate on this thing I call selective intellect. Now it is strange to me how people have no stance on anything, but from time to time they jump up on their high horse and decide to chat rubbish. I find it shocking that people who routinely comment on posts which demean and decry woman suddenly find a moral compass today. Where were you to say hey this is not funny you need to dial it back? Where is your status to call for a boycott of certain tv channels until the Bring better programming?--------------> **crickets** Where was your status calling for recruits to join in with some sort of community based programme to empower youth and young people-----------> **crickets** Every year carnival costumes get less and less where is your status calling for mas makers to put more feathers and beads on the costumes so they have more coverage and preserve more modesty?---------------> **crickets** The women on tv who are degraded sooooooooooooo badly get paid to be half naked, whereas you pay someone to make you walk the streets half clothed. So you who has made no stand why are you complaining about other people? See that I am speaking about?----------------------> no sense.

Tyler Perrys movies and his 2 televisions shows have no depth. Tyler perrys movies are one dimensional his characters have no depth and they do not grow they are mass of clichéd ideals regarding black people. That is why people along with myself dont think he should have directed the movie "For coloured girls who have attempted suicide when the rainbow is not enough" it is not about racism or the portrayal of black people. This is the same selective intellect that has them drinking lady gagas kool aid but treating nicki minaj like a leper.

Summer House Happenin's: End of exams

   

Hello well the end of exams came and it went just as swiftly. Leaving me in its wake with a beating delivered by managing finance, Economic theory, and business statistics----------> shudders. For those who think that student life is easy let me tell you it is not. You are broke and constantly in need and the time. The light at the end of the tunnel is your only hope that gets you through day by day. There are highs and there are lows, and some days there were just tears. However this year has been unlike any other. I have opened up myself to my faith more than ever before, also let some new friends into my life. These new faces have been the source of much laughter, joy, arguments, debates, inspiration and motivation. My love for my family has been ever bountiful for on the days when I didnt believe in myself they kept me going with kind words about my capabilities. I am so grateful to the lord for blessing me with what I have.
