DEAR DIARY: Where is the respect for women?

>It was just last week when I wrote about street harassment. I talked about two videos I had seen, one was of a male journalist in Egypt who disguised himself as a woman. He experienced physical and verbal abuse.

DEAR DIARY: Beat drums not men and women

I met this woman who had a black eye while leaving home for work. So I stopped and after exchanging pleasantries asked her what happened to her eye. This is all she had to say, “Domi alinipiga ngumi”. Loosely translated to mean Domi punched me.

DEAR DIARY: Stop killing innocent women

>Bring back our girls! It seems like everywhere I turn, that is what I see people chanting about after more than 200 girls were kidnapped by Islamic extremists, Boko Haram. The US First Lady Michelle Obama even posted a photo of herself holding a placard with the plea! People in the West, East have all joined hands to raise one voice, bring back our girls.

DEAR DIARY: It’s not goodbye but see you later

>Leaving on a Jet plane is a song by John Denver, but most people will identify it with its first line All my bags are packed I’m ready to go. My mother loved this song and she hummed it every morning under the bougainvillaea tree as she took a nap. Sooner or later her demise hit us like thunder on a sunny day.

DEAR DIARY: Why would anyone kill a child?

It is hard to imagine that someone can harm their own child, leave alone a baby. It is human instinct to want and protect life instead of destroying it, especially that of a child. But things happen and sometimes, they happen to you.
