Beautycook Studio, created a makeup masterpiece on this bride who we featured on Bridal Beauty: Yoruba Bride (Nigeria)

The response was phenominal when this article was shared.

Why do we have so many friends around us but we still feel empty? Haven’t you noticed that there is someone your heart wants to identify with even in the midst of the multitude of friends? I grew up seeing my mum with friends. I saw them stand by each other through thick and thin. I saw them cover each other’s nakedness. I must say this without holding back; we don’t have friends, not any longer.

Short Stories: Daughters


A Couple made a deal the night of their wedding to not open the door of their room to anybody who comes knocking in the morning for no reason.

In the Morning the parents of the husband came and knocked the door, the Husband and the wife were looking at each other & as they agreed before, they didn't open the door.
After a while the parents of the bride came knocking at the door to check on them,

the couple was looking at each other, then bride dropped a tear and started crying
She Said"I cannot keep them knocking and not open the door, I miss them already"


The Husband didn't say anything and he let her open the door for her parents.

Relationships: Playing Wife With No Husband?

Our Relationship article got alot of us talking...

Let me just warn you…this will be a very raw article in which the truth is more important than spared feelings 

or sugar coated realities. You see, as a woman, I’ve realized the dangers of being a person who hates truth 


and lives a lie. Unfortunately, there are many ladies, ourselves included, who are living lies and r



ejecting truth even though it has been living a lie that has caused us the most sorrows. Most of us have gotten 

this whole relationship thing wrong, so wrong that our relationships look no different from marriage. In 

essence, about 70% of black women are single, but probably at least 40% of those women are still playing 

house. I ask you, does it make sense to perform wifely duties if technically, we have no husband?




How is your boyfriend your hubby?


As black relationships and marriages continue to decline, I have seen a frantic surge of desperation in my

sisters. Now, I love you all because I love my people, but we are not, nor have we ever been a website

aimed for preaching to the choir.



What good has that ever served?

But back to the surge of desperation…it is this desperation that has many single black women referring to 

their mere boyfriends as hubbies. Now this premature label does hold power, and no, it is not harmless. As 

we begin to call our boyfriends our hubbies, we begin to act like wives. We’re shacking up with, cooking,

Short Stories: The Date

An African-American woman is shown with a pensive expression as she looks out a window.
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.”

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally

. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. “What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked.

My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. “I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much..

Short Stories- I Wanted A Divorce

Many readers could sadly relate to the post, 'I wanted a divorce'.
My husband is an Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature, and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.

Three years of courtship and now, two years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.
