Mariam and the girls

I’m going to start with apologies cause it’s been a whole year. This is honestly uncalled for. I don’t know if I should name this episode “a much needed life update” cause there’s a lot to share. It’s not going to be a long one. I’m just going to share a few life updates and call it a day but I’m back now and not leaving you guys anymore. Anyways, let’s get into it now. I’ve gotten married and I’ve moved to the UK!! Surprised much?? Lol yeah, that’s a lot to take in. But honestly I know this isn’t news to most of you. Cause almost everyone that reads this blog knows what I’ve been up to at least to an extent. I’ve gone to the UK to pursue a masters degree in Gender and Development at the University of Sussex and got married a couple of weeks before my programme started. Someday, I’ll talk about my experiences so far. But for now I’ll just say it’s been a roller coaster of emotions. Being away from home has taken a huge toll on me, and honesty this whole uni thing is kicking my behind c

  I know I always say this, but its been a long time! I hope everyone is keeping safe and taking care of their mental health? Today we're going all in, we're having a chit chat and just reflecting over lowest points in life. This is a topic I am very passionate about, I have spoken to a few people about this and I mean obviously everything I have talked about here revolves around this. So in this episode, we're discussing hitting rock bottom, let me just say it happens to the best of us, I mean this is very vague cause everyone's definition of hitting rock bottom differs and that's okay cause we live different experiences but the point is, we all experience it here and there and I am not an exception. Mine would be when I completed Uni, getting adjusted to life after university and jobless at the same time was really overwhelming. To be honest I really enjoyed the first few weeks, cause I mean, I always slept in, I did not have to rush into lecture halls or have to

Prioritizing our mental health  This place needs some revival to be honest!  No, that was a bad intro, let me take that again....Hey guys, I’ve been away for a while ,I’ve been caught up lately, not really caught up I’ve just been trying to survive amidst all the chaos around the world and in our society most especially. It’s been so surreal and these things can take a very big toll on our mental health. I hope all of you are taking good care of yourselves and that you’re talking to people about things going on because it helps. Okay enough of that long intro, although it somehow leads us into our little discussion today. Emotional and mental well being. With everything going on in our homes and societies these days, and even things we see on social media added to our personal struggles can be really overwhelming but we overlook these things and we tend to focus more on our physical well being. I mean, it’s very important to take care of your physical state but that can’t be achieved w

It’s been ages. Sorry for being MIA. As we’re still commemorating women’s month, I thought I should  come here to appreciate women in all spaces. I think we’re all going to agree women are the back bones of society and they have held this position since time immemorial. We hear histories of the wives of the prophets and how supportive they were to the cause of their husbands. We hear stories of our great grandmothers and how they’ve stood for their families and communities And we see everyday examples from our moms at home, other women, doing wonders in their respective fields and different business ventures.  The the mom who takes care of her kids, the woman who works to support other women, the woman who works to run the nation and the one who runs the home are all special in their own ways and run different parts of the society.  I want us all to be women who will continue this cycle in our own ways. Whether you’re a mom, a daughter, a student, a wife, an entrepreneur, an activist,
