Dear Diary, I'm about to be a mom! I mean like a mother! Someone's number one go to...that’s so crazy to me.

Dear Diary, Being a first generation Canadian is hard! What does being ‘Canadian’ mean anyway for an individual like myself who was born here, but whose parents weren’t? Growing up, I enjoyed traditional Ghanaian cuisine at home, but I do remember my mother telling me that when I’m older and working in the corporate world, … Continue reading October 22, 2018 →

Link to Part 1 Dear Diary, I ended my last entry explaining that myself and the male had decided to meet up and talk about what was going on and what had happened, which was the grown thing for both of us to do rather than yelling at each other on the phone. He is … Continue reading October 15, 2018 →
