I’ve assessed thousands of scholarship applications/interviews for different organisations over the past decade— all I can say is; just apply beloved, shoot your shot and don’t count yourself out. Perfect is the enemy of good. There’s no typical or model applicant, so Apply!!!

You don't. It's a whole new accent y'all have invented and I like it.
My thing about the “coconut” or “model c” accent is that I don’t actually think we sound white.

This past Wednesday at Your Weekly Touch Up was such a humble reminder of the impact of the work we do. Gratitude to those who continue to see us, to hold us, to grow with us. We remain grounded in the gifts and the work. And we still have a whole lot more to share with the world. ...malifezeke... IPhupho L'ka Biko 🎥 : Your Weekly Touch Up

They asked me why I wanted to work for that bank instead of others , I said because this one is the “Beyoncè” of banks 😔 I knew I was cooked. I work for them now lmaoo , different department though 🤏🏾
Nothing lives rent-free in your mind quite like an interview that went horribly wrong 😭

Yes, ladies. Don’t jog alone, don’t go to the post office, don’t take an Uber, don’t drive your own car, don’t go to work, don’t even go home.

Again, new restrictions for women without actually addressing the PEOPLE doing this. Someone commented on her post saying “why was she running at that time, it’s dark around that time”. Why should women have curfews? Being a woman is such a violent experience 😔.

Be laughing, it’s the way he’s “jokingly” trying to enforce that she changes her name to his even down to her business cos this is not the first time. Reinforcing one of the oldest ways patriarchy has used to show that a woman is owned. She should keep her name let him run mad
“Really Towns by Jordyn” 😂 Karl Anthony Towns not playing bout his wife! He said it’s Jordyn Towns!!! IKTR.

Hello @CityofJoburgZA 👋🏾 I tried borrowing a book from the digital library via the Libby app and I was informed that you no longer offer this service. Is this a permanent decision or are you working on reactivating the service? Thank you 🙏🏾

Guys is this a weird request? I have specific requests when I travel that my employer knows about. And I know many other people who also have their own specific requests about travel 🤷🏿‍♂️

And the idea that as a result of your gender you are incapable of harbouring harmful rhetoric or beliefs because you exist in the world as a victim as well is bio essentialist nonsense.
Being a woman or a feminist does not mean you are above being an oppressor or a bigot🙏🏽

We do, that’s why we don’t have kids
People with no kids have no idea how much free time they actually have.

I can bet my inheritance that stuff like this is going on in Cape Town 🫤
Two Dutch men have been banned from re-entering Indonesia over alleged violations and discrimination after claims that their Bali run club events were reserved for Westerners and shut out locals went viral.
