My mum had a job in your field when I was younger. She was called the “nits, tits and naughty bits lady” back then and went to schools talking to girls about their bodies and their rights. I was mortified. But my friends often sought her out at our place (they low-key wanted information when we were meant to be

Now playing

LOVE STEP IN TIME SO HARD so maybe you’re a worthy opponent.

Whew. I was tempted to answer until I read ‘Bill.’ I have neither the skill nor patience to take this on, so I will leave it to your higher power. Bless your heart.

This was hilarious, as usual. And thanks for confirming, as suspected, I just need to YouTube Latifah’s solos, and maybe Shaggy for shits and giggles.

Whoa, after all this above I still wasn’t ready for what is in that link.

Not talking about it is a radical interpretation of my text (and actions since I am out here commenting!), which literally opened with -good for Robyn owning and sharing her truth. I’m saying its possible to feel conflicted; you can celebrate Robyn finally sharing her personal truth and finding joy in what she has

Sadly true, and I realise in calling her a child I infantilised her in way I did not intend. I meant to make the point that somebody sensible and with authority, needs to put safe space between this young woman and her abusive parent. He does worryingly have a 3 year old girl, and a bunch of sons he’s modelling this

Happy for you? I haven’t seen any shaming here so I feel like you’re conflating two separate issues. Whitney, admittedly like other stars gone too soon, has had so many of her most vulnerable moments exposed in death. Often this has been for the worst reasons (the Daytona album cover being the most egregious to me),

This child (and any others in his care) needs to be removed from that home. A person that feels this level of entitlement over another person’s body is possessive. When it is a man specifically trying to exert control over a woman’s sexual and reproductive rights (however fashionable), through force (subjecting a

Good for Robyn for owning and sharing her truth. But the continued excavation of Whitney’s life feels wrong. I’m glad she had some happiness, I wish she could be left to rest in peace now. Can’t believe its seven years though.

That sentence started with a supposition, IF. I then clarified that I did not mean it should, but that there is an expectation of good faith. This was fun for the single minute in which we were have having a discussion. That is before you set about trying to stage and fall into semantic traps to mask the weaknesses in

That Nigeria desperately needs America to honor its films does not sound like the anti-cultural imperialism position.

I hear the technicality of the rule. The bigger question is, what is the spirit and purpose of the award? If that is to bring much needed exposure, funding to less developed film industries, to tell bigger stories with wider narratives that actually foster cultural dialogue beyond borders, as one would hope in an

The ignorance is real. Elite, white, insular American institution is ignorant about black nations, not a shocker. But the logical fallacy in having English as the administrative language in the US because of colonisation, and conveniently forgetting that they did that shit elsewhere is hilarious. The British colonised

Exactly this. I don’t believe it for a second. Firstly, pretty much the entire current pool of royal correspondents for mainstream papers (as def the tabs) are mad because they have been shut out by Meghan and Harry, in favour of long established confidants like Tom Bradby (who did the docu). Secondly while the

You need help. Its both cynical and boring to jump on the divisive Harry/Meghan vs William/Kate bandwagon, which is probably the cleverest trick our crappy tabloids have pulled off in terms of turning people against Meghan and Harry.

Watched Little the other day and was very distracted by what appeared to be natural wig on her (Google didn’t verify either way), so accustomed am I to her beautiful hair. But she’s gorgeous and can pull off this as well as anything, except that Little wig smh, so I like it.

“Kanye uses gospel music as a generally Christian genre—not as a musical experience sacred to black people’s theology of hope, righteous anger and liberation—to reel in white supporters and prove to them that black people can, too, believe in a God that aligns with the evangelical values of a self-sufficient faith

The only conclusion is that Kanye has no people left.
