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. My social calendar comprised of glamorous industry parties and my ‘9-5’ included building the portfolio and securing the next big contract. So, after months of toying back and forth in my mind, I decided to finish with my childhood sweet heart and embark on an adventure that comprised of me, myself and I! 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!”.
The truth is I was so use to being on that grind that I found it hard to do anything else but tick off my ever ending to-do-list. I actually found myself feeling guilty for allowing myself the necessary time to just stop and do nothing. My plan was to use the holiday as time to just work in the sun, catch up on things that had been outstanding, without the endless interruptions of staff, phones calls and demands. I was happy to just continue as I was and thought it ok to say “hey will at least I am doing this by the pool!”. Read more

Kubi’s Diary … 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

Every woman’s a Sisterhood woman!
Approximately 3 months ago my cousin and I were sitting down by the river times in Docklands, it was about 7pm and the evening was buzzing with corporate executives drinking by the bar or having dinner. It had been one of the warmest days for a long time in the UK and so no-one seemed to be in a hurry to get home.
I was late due to a potential sponsor meeting running over, so by the time I sat down, I was exhausted from spending the afternoon trying to convince someone to part with their money and buy-into the Sisterhood brand. Read more
