Okpornorvi is an Ewe expression which means someone who nurtures others; either family, friends or strangers. Ideally we should all be…

But If I Should React…
Dealing with people who know the right thing but deliberately refuse to do so is very frustrating, they put you in a very uncomfortable position to either rant, complain, or scold them. Afterwards they have the audacity to feel offended and make you the bad person when they created the entire mess. Maturity is lacking…
MY EXPERIENCES WITH “NO” IN BUSINESS
This afternoon a customer told me he was no longer interested in doing business with my startup company Defia Art Services. I was very sad but not shocked because I am used to being told NO since I started running my own business. He is one of the many people who decided not to purchase…
JUST DO IT!
I am not good with giving advice because I do not have much experience myself. I believe people need to live to experience life. In the last few years a lot of opportunities have come my way. I was not expecting them. They are all pleasant surprises and I am grateful for them. I love…

HOMO JUDGING
I was at the beach when I saw some young men in their underwear having so much fun playing games. They did not care about what the rest of the world thought of them. It is very refreshing to see men or boys play and have fun without people around labeling them as gay or…
NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING DIFFERENT

FREEDOM TO LIVE
I am broken in many places. I have been weakened by many attacks. Sometimes I want to concede defeat but I need to win. I am not fighting for myself alone. There are many people that depend on my victory. I need help. I ask for strength. This is a freedom battle. A…
