Pakistani-Canadian journalist Habiba Nosheen was born in Lahore, the capital city of Pakistan in1982, where she spent her early years. Her family migrated to Toronto Canada as refugees, when she was nine years old. Growing up in Toronto, Nosheen obtained a bachelors degree from the University of Toronto, a Masters from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism and a second Masters degree from York University, Toronto in Women’s Studies. She started her career in journalism as a reporter at the CBC Radio Pakistan where she was later nominated to report for Kroc Fellowship, on-air for NPR ‘s Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

Fashion Trends 2018

By Cynthia Munwangari

In my opinion, 2018 fashion trends will remain the same as 2017 because, in my vocabulary, the synonyms for Trendy are decency, simplicity, and assertion, which as far as I am concerned never go out of fashion. The less important details of fashion may vary but these basic elements tarry on. In this regard, my quintessential stars are the following women:

Africa and Time Management; Can Women champion this too?

One common trait of successful people is that they don’t waste time. They Invest time rather than spending it. Throughout the World and all history, every Greatness, every Success story, every commanded respect, all begins, is sustained or crumbles by the art of personal time management. I believe Africa is greatly despised by the Globe due to our Lack of and poor time management skills. Anyone who can’t manage his time can’t manage his own life and easily become a slave to the ones who can make use of that time properly. I guess this sadly explains why most Africans work better under other races.

Teenage Girls, Fashion, and Style!

By: Mwila Mwila Parents may not sometimes approve of the dressing styles that the teenage girls are following but in most cases, it’s just a lack of a good memory in most of us Parents, especially Mothers, on what a confusing stage Teenage hood can be, especially when it comes to individual style and fashion taste. Teenagers usually experiment with different elements with regards to clothing and try to find their unique sense of style. If you have a teen girl at home, you’ve probably already seen her fretting over what to wear and how to style her look, please allow them, a little experiment would do no harm. And besides, it’s just another phase in growing up, which eventually fades. Instead of trying to have them fit in with your preferred and imagined kind of peer dress code, as most parents to Teenagers do, you have to remember that,…

Why Men Won’t Let Women Rise in the Corporate World

By Matshona Dhliwayo

I was born into a male-dominated family, nurtured in a male-dominated society, and educated in a male-dominated country. Because of this, I realize I’m going to be in a lot of trouble, especially from the matriarchs of the very system I benefited from my entire life. How dare you bite and spit at the very hands that fed you, some might rightly ask? They are, of course, correct. But, something strange happened in my 20s — I grew a conscience.

Black Don’t Crack: A Story of Congress Woman Mia Love

In 1975, Brooklyn witnessed the birth of a heroin and a spectacular trailblazer. She was born as Ludmya Bourdeau but presently known as Mia Love. Mia Love who happens to be the first black female Republican Party member to be elected into a US Congress was born on the 6th of December 1975 but was raised in Connecticut by her Haitian parents, Maxime and Marie Bourdeau. She was raised with very little resources and had a humble childhood. She was the youngest of three children born to her Roman Catholic parents. When Mia’s parents migrated from Haiti to the US, things were a bit difficult because they got into the country with a tourist visa which only afforded them a temporary stay. At the birth of Mia, the couple got a permanent residue status based on the immigration law at that time that grants immigrants from the Western Hemisphere who…

What More Can Women Do to Make Their Mark in Government?

By Joshua K. Ogbonna. Politics has never been a strong point for women in particular regions or countries, but with democracy taking the center stage in most elective processes across the globe, a lot of women are coming into the picture and this was at its peak in 2017. The global movement for gender equity is meant to bring about social change leading to increased political participation by women. Legislating equality does not instantly guarantee a society’s acceptance of it. In Africa, Asia, and the Middle-east the focus of the women folk has largely been relegated to household upkeep but that narrative is being corrected by countries promulgating several women’s bill of rights and the active involvement in the political process – seeking elective positions and being voted for. According to a Chinese proverb, “Women hold up half the sky” and that has become internationally adopted to affirm women’s equal…
