For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
"Enough," said Dex
TRIGGER WARNING: Gun violence, self-harm and suicide, kidnapping, discussions of violence. “I have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and I’m wearing sunglasses…Hehehe…plus, a bottle of Jager and a couple pre-rolls of Marley Natural.”

Loved & Locked with Luna
As I was visiting my Grandma with breast cancer, 300 miles away from my home, we sit in her trailer outside of the hospital talking about life. We spoke of past resentments and tribulations, I spoke of my sexuality with her for the first time, and she relayed the best and worst parts of going through a treatment such as this. I listen to her in depth as my Grandpa drifts asleep.

The weight of the world
When you realise that we are nothing but animals on a rock bobbing our way through space you may have one of two reactions; 1) everything means nothing, or 2) everything is so very important as its so fragile. And both of them reactions are so completely valid and overwhelming. Do we focus on work and ensuring we have everything we need to simply survive, do we focus on passions and interests and ensure that we live a fulfilling life, do we focus on family and making sure we love as hard as we can? What is it that you're planning on achieving during you're short time on this rock? That's what it all comes down to in the end. Some want to be remembered forever and some want to see it all. But how to do you figure out what it is that you want before you feel as though you've wasted too much time?

King of the World
A man stands with his boy at an arm’s length, his wife by his side, he closes his eyes and remembers his first trip to this place. The child's eyes move from one attraction to the next as he tugs his father from the distant memory. The ground sticks to the soles of his shoes, and for the first time he notices the graveyard of cotton candy and slushie strewn across the ground. He tugs back at the hand guiding him and smiles, "Can I have some cotton candy?" "Later," comes the one worded response. His eyes shift from each attraction and stand, the lights and sounds an extra-sensory overload. The lights crowds and stands thin out as he reaches the ominous wheel, and suddenly, he isn’t so eager anymore.

The Covid-19 recovery effect.
Low and middle-income countries have limited resources to deal with the social and economic disruption created by COVID-19. Vulnerable populations across Africa resulted with the reduced ability to access healthcare and a daily sustaining diet. These effects have widened health and wealth inequalities adding anxiety, isolation and fear across the continent.
