Look at this ‘lil Square Peg. Taking you back to the early 80s, Accra, Ghana, about 4 years old, wearing a shirt declaring my birth pecking order. Happy throwing it all the way back Jeudi. (Thursday en français)

Started on the left, Going on the right This is the latest trend I’ve been seeing on social media, the how it started and how it’s going challenge. I don’t do the trend thing, by and large, but this one I like. Seeing your growth, seeing your changes. I’m all about that self-assessment life. Your …

Blogtober #14: How Do you Sleep?
Photo by Ketut Subiyanto on Pexels.com I sleep with the television on. Yeah. So ever since I was a wee Square Peg, the quiet of night didn't sit well with me. I couldn't take it. Being a light sleeper since childhood, I can hear everything. Everything. (My Dad worked at night and loved to point …
Blogtober #13: Do Your Thing.
Since returning to my natural texture almost eight years ago (naturalversary is in December yay), I’ve had many, many, many hairstyles.

Shall We?
Yes, let's. Recently, I watched a heartwrenching video of a woman on social media who tearfully spoke of her frustrations while looking for love. Wanting to find the right one and that not happening. Being eternally and repeatedly ghosted. I highly identified with her. In a follow-up video, she spoke of some of the comments …
Quarantine Check-In.
Quarantine Life. It's been a thing. Here's a round-up. Professional Life. I've been working from home since mid-March. It was initially a huge adjustment for me; I've worked remotely before, many times, but in a space where it's happening 8 hours a day, 7 days a week--there were a lot of tough moments.
