I was listening to a podcast and the topic of discussion was centred around a young woman who said that she was single until she was married due to the fact that men are not trustworthy and may be doing this, that, that and the third. This in and of itself is not an uncommon [...]
The new age definition of feminism seems to appropriate that women believe and behave in a manner that portrays they are superior to men. I, myself, have zero interest in that. I agree with textbook feminism, that we are equals, neither being more superior. By this view, I neglect to identify as a feminist. But [...]
I suppose the by the title, you are aware that it's me, Trina. As usual, I wait for a topic of discussion to come up so that I can throw my weight behind it and... well... aphrodisiacs it is. Let's provoke a few inner vixens tonight, shall we? Tell me honestly, do they work? Aphrodisiacs, I mean. [...]
When I was about 18, I lost a friend that I had loved like a sister due to one most basic girl code reasons that I had thought shouldn't take place, a guy.
Hey there folks, it's T(Tea/Trina) time! This week's banter is again on a dancehall controversial subject. Dexta Daps and his short film, effectively erasing all thoughts and attention from the 'Equal Rights' hallabaloo, squashing its reign. Thursday night, Mieann asked if we'd seen the Dexta Daps short film. We hadn't and JoJo made reference to Dexta as the 'Jamaican Trey [...]
Someday, my husband will take me to Napa Valley or some Tuscany Vineyard for a surprise picnic with grapes, cheese, wine and smooches...
TL; DR. The acronym means 'too long; didn't read' and gets a bad rap because the user is labelled lazy and rude. But is that true? How many of us are guilty of this without typing it to let the author of a piece know? I know I am. As much as I love reading [...]
"I've been more than a little preoccupied lately." This is actually a gross understatement. I've been attending a very lovable, tiny person as her appearance changes the dynamics of my marriage and home life in general. Tiny person, major influence(s) and chain reactions. Overall, I feel as though I've held my head down and when [...]
My name is Shandean. A late 1980's millennial born and raised in Jamaica. Tonight (or this morning rather), at 2:49am as I feed my 6-week old infant, I come across the article that informs of 5-month-old Paris Gray succumbing to being shot in her abdomen. She was killed while gunmen attacked and murdered her mother [...]
Wedding day
I don't know any paternally 'delinquent' men. With the perpetual insistence that black men of today are more often than not avoiding or ignoring their responsibilities as men, I'm not sure how unique of a position I find myself. Society seems to be doing its best to convince us all (women in particular) that men [...]
My last article spoke of the The Modern Traditional Woman, focusing on the acquiring of a fulfilling career and family life. This piece is on that same woman from a different perspective. Marriage and being an individual. "You are one.". I have never known a phrase to bring me joy and yet grind my gears [...]
Sounds like quite the oxymoron, does it not? Perhaps, but it describes the woman who doesn't want to be boxed in. (At least in my head that's what it describes). The woman who doesn't want to spend her life in the traditional role of being barefoot and pregnant. The woman who doesn't wanted to be [...]
