A man fit for the job? I don’t think so!

Well, that didn’t last long! A man put in charge of women’s monthly periods, tampons, sanitary towels, period pains, and the like. And it didn’t stop there. Jason Grant of Dundee, being the man in question, was also charged with menopause matters. He was appointed as, wait for it… Period…

Missing Black Lives Matter Too!

A woman and her two young children go missing. That’s bad enough. It takes the police three weeks to find them. Buried in the back garden of their home. Why did it take three weeks? Why did it take so long to find the former Eastenders actress Sian Blake and…

It’s Official: Dogs Love Reggae Too!

Reggae. Reggae. Reggae. Here comes Jonny Reggae. Who doesn’t like a bit of reggae? Eh? Who doesn’t like Bob Marley’s No Woman No Cry or Tree Lickle Birds, I mean Three Little Birds? No self-respecting party or jump-up would be seen dead without these iconic numbers: as was evidenced down…

Blame it on the sunshine…

Is Netflix better than sex?!

Netflix is better than sex. Nooo! Wot? Say what now! Under normal circumstances, in situations such as these, I would have coupled that statement with the word ‘allegedly’ meaning ‘without proof’. But no need for that ‘cos there is proof. Plenty of it. To boot. And it comes straight from…

No Ifs…But More Butts?

When I was quite young, I decided to save up as much money as I could get my paws on to pay for what I believed to be a much-needed and life-saving operation. You see, I was well-endowed in the derrière region and spent much of my life being embarrassed…

Flights of Fancy?

I could be wrong about this, but if I have a health condition, I do believe it is my responsibility to take care of myself and not leave that responsibility to others. What do I mean by all this? As we go along, you will get the picture. To begin….

Break the Bias – Do It For The [Black] Girls!

March is the month for The Girls. Mothers’ Day is celebrated this month of course, as is International Women’s Day, which got me thinking about us Black women and how we stand in society today. A report set to be published ahead of International Women’s Day states that there is…
