Oni, BAO and the mathematics of alignment

Black Women, White Men and the Question of Marriage

She’s Just Not That Into You…

For every time I have been single and toyed with the possibility of being in a relationship, especially in the driest of seasons when there was just no eligible bachelor on the scene, there was always the one guy in the least that I just wasn’t into...

He’s Just Not That Into You…

Love, Religion and Agnostics Like Me

What is the matter with all these Bible-carrying proselytes who bump into me everywhere I go? They want to know what Church or denomination I belong.

The burdens of Islam
