In 2018, a friend introduced me to the Lean In movement during one of our conversations. At the time, I dismissed it as just another American phenomenon—a sort of feminist hype or a gathering where women came together to collectively voice their grievances about perceived disadvantages cause by male counterparts. My perspective on such groups underwent a significant transformation after reading “Invisible Women” by Caroline Criado-Perez last year. It proved to be an eye-opener and a stark wake-up call, making me realize my own naivety and ignorance. Continue reading

The multitude of lockdowns has made it impossible to meet and even when we meet it seems like an event to dread where Vaccination and Government policy seems to be the dominant topic.

Comedy is a tough job. You have to get your message across and make people laugh at the same time. The way you deliver it is important. If you can make people think, highlight the ridiculousness of it all and leave them with an afterthought, you’re doing comedy right. Trevor Noah is a great storyteller and a brilliant comedian. What he and his mother went through is unimaginable. From facing the cruelty of apartheid to defying a system that was designed to break them, their story is a testament to strength and how to overcome hardship. Continue reading
