You cannot: ​Work full time, raise children, keep a spotless home, show up fully in your marriage, maintain friendships, stay fit, build wealth, read books, pursue hobbies, serve only home cooked meals, answer every email, and still make the 3:30 school pickup. ​That standard was created to keep you exhausted and blaming yourself. Let it go.

@Lundarr Please enjoy your soft girl era being back 🥺🥰

@JacintaSakala Lol true but decided to take the chance anyway, home has called 😂.

I hate to say it but even my make up is sitting better ku motherland 🤭.

Nobody talks about how God’s love is not transactional. It doesn’t increase when you’re faithful and decrease when you’re not. It doesn’t reward your good seasons and withhold in your bad ones. It’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Rihanna just etched her name in history as the first Black woman to build two separate billion-dollar companies — Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. From shaking up the beauty game with 40+ shades of foundation in 2017 to redefining lingerie with size-inclusive fire in 2018, she’s turned bold vision and real representation into a combined empire now valued at over $3 billion. No gatekeeping, no limits — just pure Bad Gal empire-building that’s changing industries for good. A true boss leveling up legacies. 👏🏽👏🏽

When I read that someone got a job, bought a house, overcame some illness

Twenty years ago, Congolese man Guy Goma came into the BBC for a job interview but, in a now legendary case of mistaken identity, ended up live on the BBC News Channel. Speaking to BBC Africa, Guy explained how he managed to stay calm under the unexpected pressure of live TV.

We have spent years being told it is “just a period problem” while our skin, our weight, our mood, and our energy were all falling apart. Today, the medical world finally admitted you were right. PCOS is now PMOS.

WE HAVE SURVIVED ONE MONTH WITH NO F1, IT'S FINALLY RACE WEEK AGAIN!!!!!

Don't forget to imagine the best case scenario too

@Lundarr It’s so stressful for sure

@JacintaSakala That must be stressful 😩 All the best!

The money I have spent on a one way ticket home 😩😩 Mwe Lesa.

“Are you free after work?” me after work:

Much like how Love Is Blind teaches us that love is NOT blind, Age of Attraction is also teaching us that age is in fact not just a number.

Well, when a child is conceived, the DNA split is 50/50 from both parents. Except for one small detail: mitochondrial DNA. It’s passed down only through the mother and never through sperm. Which means something interesting: all living humans can trace their mitochondrial line back to one woman, not one man. And every daughter born continues passing that same line forward. Happy Women’s Day 💐

@Lundarr Look, diaspora life is all there is to life. There are so many opportunities back home too. Plus just missing home and the people there is good enough reason to want to move back. Home will always be home as well.

You tell a fellow diasporian that you want to move back home and they look at you so shocked 🤣 Is it not my home? Where else can I go? 😩🤣

God has a plan for your life❤️

“Can I bring my baby to the interview?” The message came in at 11 PM: “Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.” Old me would have rescheduled. Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag. New me replied: “Absolutely. See you tomorrow.” She showed up with her baby on her hip. She apologized three times before even sitting down. Ten minutes in, the baby started crying. She tried to soothe him while answering questions. She apologized again. I stopped the interview and said: “Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.” Her eyes filled with tears. We hired her. She’s been with us for a year now. The most reliable team member we have. Why? Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing. Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire. Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities. If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism. You’re filtering for privilege.

@Wejolyn My condolences

My son passed away last night, he was hit by a car. I will probably not be on X for some days. I’m just trying to deal with the shock and the absolute destructive pain of this.

The moment he saw grandma! This is pure love and joy! Priceless! ❤️🤗
