Content Creator, Photographer, Visual Artist, Musician, there is most of the time a hesitation when you mention this as your chosen career path to African parents, because it’s not the usual doctor, lawyer, engineer they are used to or want you to become.

PERFECT IN BROWN
“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor.” – Anne Lamott Initially, I wanted to write a post about Minimalism but paused at a point because it wasn’t perfect – I struggled with words to write because I wanted it to be intelligent, witty, insightful and void of errors; so as all my posts.
