Sex, intimacy and black middle-class Christianity in South Africa - a difficult history.
How were views of intimacy shaped before colonialism? Before colonialism in the 1700s, black South Africans viewed sex and its relationship to morality very differently than it’s viewed today. Views of intimacy were largely shaped by the expectations of the extended family. When a young man married, his family transferred ilobolo (bridewealth) to a young woman’s family as an acknowledgement of the joining of families. Ilobolo cemented families together and introduced a bride not only into her husband’s extended family or lineage, but also to his family’s ancestors.

WAITING IN VAIN: A CONFESSION OF UNREQUITED LOVE
I always thought that waiting for you would be worth it. That somehow, in the end, you'd see me the way I’ve seen you for all these years. I’ve held on to this quiet hope, telling myself that you’d eventually realize we were meant to be, that all the time we’ve spent together had to mean something. But it didn’t. It was just me, foolishly clinging to a fantasy, while you were living your life, unaware of the weight your presence carried for me.

I’m Battling Depression and Writing Through it all
I read Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar in high school, and that’s when the penny dropped for me. I realised that the dark feeling of dread when I experienced each morning was depression, a severe case of clinical depression.

Turning 29
Last week, I entered the last year of my twenties. When I look back, there are many times I wish I could give my younger self a hug (she really was doing her best.) Other times, I wish I could give my younger self a good shake (because at points... girl, what were you thinking?)

Who Am I?
Who Am I? "Who am I?" This profound question arises in everyone’s mind at least once in their lifetime. It is a question that prompts us to reflect on our existence, our purpose, and the significance of our lives. Who am I? What is my identity? What is the meaning of my life? These are not easy questions to answer. Understanding oneself is not a straightforward journey—it is an evolving process shaped by struggles, joys, sorrows, and failures.

A Tapestry of Leadership: Reflections on the Lives and Legacies of Former US Presidents
An unexpected melody from a long-forgotten hit can transport us to moments we thought were tucked away forever. With it comes a flood of memories—of places, people, and who we were at the time. This phenomenon isn’t limited to music. A similar effect unfolded at Jimmy Carter’s funeral, where the rare gathering of former U.S. presidents became a living portrait of history, unity, and leadership.
