I have always been fascinated with the history of racial segregation stemming from slavery in the West and apartheid in South Africa so the fact that this was one of themes […]

February 21, 2018 5 Comments

For many going back to school is a major aspiration and once you achieve that there is a major feeling of achievement and fulfillment. Personally, I had long desired to go for a second masters degree but kept putting it off, so when I finally decided to go for it in my late 30s and with two children in tow it was daunting!Thankfully its all done and dusted and crossed off my to do list. I can thus totally relate with our first guest post of the year written by the indefatigable Azuka who writes about her recent educational pursuit. As […]
