Madness: repeating the same mistakes but expecting a different result!
Ok so here’s the deal. I have a new definition of madness. Madness is repeating the same mistake but expecting a different result!
Seriously if you think about it – how can you expect something to change if you don’t start from a new premise? How can you expect you to change if you keep doing what you have always done?!

Can You Find LOVE On The Internet?
On the Sisterhood ‘Dilemma Show’ this month myself and comedian Kat Francois was asking questions pertaining to love. The one that fell on Valentine’s Day was “Can You find Love on the Internet?” Reaching in excess of 10,000 people the show responses were vast and at time hilarious as our listeners revealed stories about searching for love on the net.
Here are just a few of the tips that they gave: Read more

2009…the whole truth.
If you read the Sisterhood 2009 (End of Year) Press Release you would have seen a well designed page full of announcements of our successes; from our BEFFTA Award for ‘Best TV Show’ to our syndication partnership deals in LA and South Africa. We had without a doubt a great year.
However what the press release failed to reveal was the whole picture. As one member of staff said to me “wow Kubi…if people knew the real deal…this would make the press release read completely differently”. He was right.

…When Did She Lose Her ‘Swagger’?
I recently found myself staring at a girl I once knew, as I took a long hard look at her I realized something…she is not as fearless as she use to be. I then looked around and saw that a lot of the women surrounding her had somehow lost something that was once precious and unique about them. Those girls in their 20’s were hungry, bold and unstoppable…those girls screamed confidence, self assurance and resilience – they could and often did, take on the world and its mamma. Fought a good fight with no concept, or even concern for the ramifications…just doing it…regardless. Why? Because they could.

5% Glamour, 95% Hard Work!!!
Today I had to allow a member of staff to fire herself.
She came to me with a long explanation as to why she felt that she was “over qualified for the behind the scenes stuff” and that she would be better utilized if I gave her a more prestigious role as a presenter on the Sisterhood TV Show!
Now, before I continue to write please allow me to say this – I am all for assisting my staff in developing their careers. I encourage, support and relish the opportunity to allow them to shine. I become enormously proud when they leave the team and move onto bigger and even better opportunities. Case in point; my previous assistant is now running her own company and has worked with Russell Simmons.

Thank You x
It’s Monday 14th September and it’s my birthday!
I woke up this morning and lied in bed for the best part of an hour just thing “wow I’m 31!”, I literally just kept repeating those words over and over again “wow I’m 31!”. Isn’t it amazing that when your young you think 30 is so old and when you hit 30 you realise that God winning you have at least another 30 years left on this planet! If the average life expectancy is 65 (or at least that’s what I once read) then I am just under half way through my journey and oh hasn’t it started as a wonderful one?! Read more

He’s just not ready to commit.
I have come to the conclusion that there are some people who just do not want to commit. They are at a place in their lives when the idea of settling is simply at the back of their minds and no-where on their priority list. I know this because I was one of them.
I remember when I was 25 years old, I finished a five and half year relationship with a man who I loved, because I no longer wanted to focus on anyone or anything else but me! Yes I was selfish. I found myself in a place where all I wanted was to dedicate my every waking hour to my career, to building myself and to becoming the best business woman that I could be. Read more

When was the last time you were just silly?
It took me four days to stop doing work…nearly half my holiday. 4 days to put down the Blackberry. 4 days to stop using my T-Mobile USP ‘web n walk’ to sign off new website pages from our designers. 4 days to only answer calls from my “Male Best-friend” (lol). 4 days to stop reading Kimora Lee Simmons autobiography with a note pad and pen. 4 whole days to actually stop ‘appearing to work’. Even then I only did it because my mum got upset one morning stating “what was the point in you even coming if all you were gonna do was work? You should have stayed in the UK!”.

Take some time out K!
I started Sisterhood almost 2 years ago and I haven’t had a holiday since. Yes I have travelled, the team and I have produced interviews in New York, Ireland, Paris and speaker engagements in Chicago, Atlanta and across the UK…but none of them can be classified as a holiday.
As anyone who travels for work will testify, whilst you get to go to some amazing places, you never really get to experience the place much less have any down time. Unless you book extra days after the work engagement you are there to deliver and that’s it. Period. Read more

I promise to the tell truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
Ok so it took me nearly 3 months to think about it and endless excuses as to why not to do it…but, I resigned…there is some validity in what my cousin said. We are all going through it and so why not share my journey and if it helps someone else on their way…that would be amazing.
So, I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and if I can’t tell you the truth…I simply won’t bring it up! (lol) Read more
