In light of my recent rant about sexism and racism in this election cycle and it being Black History month and all allow me to present “And Ain’t I a Woman” by Sojourner Truth! That man over there say a woman needs to be helped into carriages and lifted over ditches and to […]
Election Rant: Sexism or Racism – Choose Your Devil
Warning Rant ahead! Right now, Americans are being very smug. Oh look at us. “We have a White woman and a Black man running for President of the United States”. “Oh look how far we have come”. “Racism is a thing of the past”. “Obama not only has the African-American vote, he is also drawing […]
Dear FutureMe
I came across this FutureMe website in my countless hours of surfing the web today that lets users send emails to themselves in the future, anywhere from a day to 30 years ahead. So cool! I sent an email to Future KChie in 2015 asking her if she had reached her short-term goals: financial, personal, […]
Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year! The early minutes of January 1st, 2008 found me huddled among the throngs of spectators in Embarcadero, San Francisco watching the fireworks. My pictures do them no justice. There wasn’t much of a countdown in the minutes leading up to the spectacular event. I had secured my spot a couple of hours […]
Randomness Music
Weird and KChie are essentially synonymous – at least family and friends make it seem so. As I surf the web and record my thoughts, I’m listening to my fave songs on random shuffle on my YP-T9, yet to fill up all 4GB I have available. What? No Ipod? Nope! I decided I wanted to […]
Holidays in Northern California
When I left Accra in February, I promised myself I would return for another run of fun during the Christmas holidays. That’s when every other Ghanaian in the diaspora returns to be with family and have fun. Unfortunately, somewhere between studying for the Boards, drowning in medical articles, and fielding consults I forgot to buy […]
Randomness
This randomness is from a couple of weeks ago…. Why did I walk out my door one fine morning, to the sound of very heavy snoring, thinking wow! either these walls are thin, or my neighbours have a terrible snoring problem, only to see a full-grown man, fully clothed but with his shoes strewn around, […]
NYTimes.com: The World’s Best Candy Bars? English, of Course
A friend forwarded this New York Times article about just how great English candy is, and I knew it had to go on my blog. I agree with it 1000% that the world’s best candy bars are English. See my earlier post on nostalgic tastebuds. I just knew I wasn’t crazy! DINING & WINE July 11, […]
Boston Here I Come!
So with the end of residency and the start of fellowship comes my big move. I decided to go to a large city. I was tired of being in the middle of the boondocks or surrounded by lots of settled people in their perfect houses and gardens and 2.1 children. And since I’m not a […]
Nostalgic Tastebuds
I recently had afternoon tea at the Four Seasons. Sitting there enjoying the scrumptious warm scones with clotted cream and lemon curd, and the delectable small finger sandwiches with fillings such as cucumber/cream cheese, and egg salad/caviar made me very nostalgic for good old English cuisine. Was that just an oxymoron? In recent years, I […]
A lover of mangoes. A woman - smart, without pretense, lefthanded, Afropolitan - navigating this thing called life. An unapologetic believer in social justice and karma. Choosing to radiate positive energy and be true to myself. Here, my musings.
