Ramadan Routines

Tuesday 30 May 2017

Since it's now Ramadan, I have created a new series of illustrated stories devoted to the holy month.


So without further ado , here is the first story called "Ramadan Routines". This one talks about how I spend time during these long days.

D.C & Boston Travel Adventures

Sunday 28 May 2017


My apologises for not being able to update you all on my recent travels. But I barely had anytime to take the time to blog, however now that I am back in my work space at home, I will share some pictures from my trip to Boston and Washington. 

This trip was defiantly one of the most special trips because my cousin/best friend/sister..etc has just graduated from Boston University and I was able to celebrate with her and the rest of my family.
We started our trip in Washington D.C  and visiting the sights such as; Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial..etc as well as spending time in the Natural History Museum and others.








During my trip, I tested outfits from the high street, which I have created into this lookbook.

Dear White People..... (My 💭)

Wednesday 10 May 2017

Before this became a Netflix series or a film, it was a book written by Justin Simien. A book which talked about the stereotypes black people are placed into, but it is portrayed in a comical way. 

I believe that in this day and age, it's sad to see that racism is still happening all over the world and that it's about time we address the issue it now and come together to fight it.




Once the book became a success, it then became a film, which was featured at Sundance Film Festival in 2014 and  included actors such as Teyonah Parris  (from Survivors Remorse),  Tyler James Williams (from Everybody Hates Chris) and Tessa Thompson (from Creed and Selma) 

When it came to the film, I preferred the way certain characters were portrayed, compared the Netflix series. However, the series shined a light on each individual character and informs the audience about their struggles and how they became who they are. 
I advice anyone who wants to understand the struggles of being a person of color to read the book, watch the film and the series, as well understand the history of black history, before judging our opinions.
