#MyKpenkpeshie: Kim Green On Societal Reaction to Her Natural Hair.

Kim Green is a Capacity Building Manager at YES-Ghana and we met at Twists n Locs recently.  I sat by her whilst waiting to be picked up after my cornrow+twists updo.

How You Can Love Yourself & Attract The Right Man in 2016.

There’s always that one thing which you don’t mind waking up at dawn to do. Whether it’s baking scones, writing a short Children’s story or painting still life. You need to go back to it if you somehow abandoned it along the way. I went back to my love of writing which life had almost made me forget about. Rediscovering your passion ignites an inner joy within you which lights up your face every time you focus on it.
