On Recap Culture and the importance of Having your Own KPIs

Life Lessons & Rambling

End-of-year reflections aren’t new. We’ve always done them, some of us in journals, some of us at “crossover nights on New Year’s Eve, most of us around an impending birthday… when the year is slipping away, or you’re becoming older, you suddenly feel an itch to reflect. I think it’s a sign of us being […]

For Cameroonians who are wondering what next?

Socio-political Commentary on Cameroon

Tensions are rising. And while I can’t call that a win, I can say it’s understandable, maybe even necessary. Before sharing this, I had to pray. Because this isn’t about me, it’s about sharing a lesson that’s been growing in my heart for the past year, one that the Holy Spirit has been teaching me […]

On post-elections Cameroon, and the Dangerous Death of Hope

Socio-political Commentary on Cameroon

Years ago, I began using the hashtag #MakeCameroonHopefulAgain. People thought it was a mockery of “#MakeAmericaGreatAgain”. It wasn’t. It came to mind as I thought of what we needed most. We need hope. I write this having just concluded a conversation with a friend where we discussed our sadness at another sham of an election […]

Somewhere between Belief & Understanding: Lessons from wrestling with God at 36

About My Faith

I recently completed my 36th turn around the sun and I would like to share what has been the lesson of this age for me. Before I begin though, I must preface this by saying that I believe in God. Belief aside, even my logic affirms that there is a God. Still, I acknowledge that […]

Earlier This Year, I Was Asked About Cameroon’s Politics. Here’s What I Said…

Socio-political Commentary on Cameroon,  Uncategorized

In January of this year, I was invited by Line Sidonie Talla Mafotsing to share my reflections on Cameroon’s political culture, our history of leadership, and what lies ahead as the country prepares for elections. Unfortunately, it appears that she can no longer publish the piece for which I was interviewed. Nonetheless, I remembered the conversation and how I spoke candidly about what we have normalised as a nation, the muted sense of agency many of us feel, and much more. I’ve decided to publish some of the transcript here on my blog because the interview gave me space to think more deeply about history, memory, silence, and the guardrails we must build if we want change to mean more than just a new face at the top. And as we head into the month where we’ll be seeing yet another (sham) of an election. These words are all I have for now.

Musings on the Cost of Caring… and the need to unlearn busyness (Aug 2025)

Career Journey Reflections,  Feminist Rants,  Life Lessons & Rambling,  Socio-political Commentary on Cameroon

They say it costs nothing to be kind. But it does. It costs a lot. I can’t only be kind with words. I have to be kind with actions. I have to be kind with my time. I have to be kind with my energy. And all of those cost something. Attending a child’s birthday […]

Musings on Love, Faith, and the Daily Call to Choose

About My Faith,  Life Lessons & Rambling

So here’s what I’ve been musing about lately… We often hear it said: Love is a choice. Increasingly, this message is gaining traction among my generation. We’re moving away from the idea that love is just a feeling. I think we now know better that it’s not the butterfly-infused infatuation we grew up watching on […]

Because I did a THING! Booklaunch Vlog! (March 2025)

Poetry, Flash Fiction & Book Reviews,  Vlogs

Dearest Reader, So… I did a thing. After last year, I had to face the fact that I wasn’t really writing anymore, not in the way I used to. I was letting fear get in the way: fear that I wasn’t good enough, that the next thing I wrote had to be serious, had to […]

In Praise of Being God’s Gen-Z Baby Girl (Jan 2025)

About My Faith,  Life Lessons & Rambling

I used to call my good friend Ettamba “God’s first-born daughter.” You know how Jesus is described as God’s only Son, and we’re all adopted as brothers and sisters? Well, she was that friend who seemed to have the “ask and you shall receive” thing down to an art form. Whatever she prayed for, she […]
