Check your expectations …

Earlier today I was on twitter and I saw this exchange that really “bothered” me.

Michaël Brun is a young Haitian artist (a Dj to be precise) who released a fire album earlier this year – around summer time. He tweeted this morning that he’s touring in 2020. The tweet read “Bayo Tour 2020 💡”.

Some fans were excited and were giving ideas of cities etc and there was that one reply…

Now, he’s said it already because of the type of person he is and how he was raised, Michaël likes it when everything is clear and there no misunderstandings or issues with the people who comment on his posts and tweets. He really is as positive as it gets.

He genuinely seems like a sweet person so he tried to explain a couple of things to the person.

Whilst I am also a positive and polite person, I got annoyed by that person’s tweet. I really failed to understand what he (Michaël) is supposed to do about the fact that “Haiti is literally on fire (sic)”.

He is a DJ, not a firefighter therefore I couldn’t see what she expected from him.

First of all, I realised that it was not the first time that people had this attitude and behaviour in celebs’ comment section.

I really want to know a couple of things:

– what are THESE people effectively doing to make it okay for them have such expectations of celebs?

– do they have a plan/ idea/ project in which the celebs could invest?

– why are they so entitled? Why do they feel like the celebs OWE THEM a better life or whatever?!!!!

Haiti is going through a major crisis at the moment- potentially the worst to date. I got to notice that a crazy amount of the people talking the loudest are just looking at things from their screens in a house outside of Haiti.

They even have a textbook view of the situation and offer textbook solutions.

Togo back to the Dj- bless him- he started to explain the things he’s been involved in and the programs he’s been running etc. It’s like him justifying the fact that he can still do his job during the crisis.

I really felt for him. Celebs are human beings too

Let’s stop being entitled like this when interacting with them… they didn’t really owe anyone anything!!

They are not you!

Hey there!

It’s 23:26 Jul 8 2019 and I am editing this draft from July ’18. I feel a bit down and almost teary if I’m being honest.

“One thing that amazes me is how IG comedians keep coming up everyday. Right, left and center!

You want to know another thing that amazes? That people get to sell headscarves/ head wraps like bread… it’s just bits of fabrics!!

They might attract the same type of customers but they can’t reach all of them geographically.

Buenos días chicos y chicas!

How do you do? The weekend is soon approaching- wassup? What are your plans for the coming weekend? By God’s grace, I shall be in London, celebrating Haitian Flag day with my fellow Haitians in the UK.

But that’s not what I’m here to discuss today. I’m here to show y’all my dress à la Jennifer Aniston/ Angelina Jolie/ Jennifer Lopez (if you can remember the one leg Angelina Jolie meme, you’re an OG).

#StudyingSociety: “Would you date a woman with an Afro? “

#StudyingSociety: “Would you date a woman with an Afro? “

Seriously, social media is full of people asking stupid questions!! It makes me sad…

The other day, as I was scrolling through my Instagram’s explorer page, I saw this picture with 3 photos of the (same) (gorgeous) woman with her hair in a MASSIVE Afro. It came with the question: “would you date a woman with an Afro?”… yeah, SAME!
I want to rephrase the question for them: would you date a woman with her 4c hair in its natural state?

If I were… || My Chinese portrait

If I were… || My Chinese portrait

A Chinese Portrait is an abstract artistic depiction of a person. You complete several sentences of the form “If I were a(n) X, I would be…” to provide insight into the way you feel.

If I were a color, I would be RED. It is such a vibrant colour! As clothes or accessories, it can make you stand out from the crowd…. so me!

If I were a fruit I would be MANGO or STRAWBERRY. The first one is very sweet and reminds of back home and the second on is red and yummy.
