For Kayla, it's not only a way of life, but keeping secrets is what's keeping her alive. Her boss, Ms. Wright is a walking soap opera in the flesh and is willing to deceive anyone in order to uphold her social status. Not only has she dragged Kayla in the middle of her drama, but Ms. Wright continues to add layers of treachery along with violence, which are things that Kayla didn't bargain for. Unfortunate for them both, not everyone is willing to continue in this twisted debauchery and it's only a matter of time before an unstable fortress becomes a pile of rubbish.

The first genocide of the 20th century, though not well known, was committed by Germans between 1904-1907 in the country we know today as Namibia, where they exterminated thousands of Herero and Nama people and subjected the surviving indigenous men, women, and children to forced labor. The perception of Africans as subhuman - lacking any kind of civilization, history, or meaningful religion - and the resulting justification for the violence against them is what author Elizabeth R. Baer refers to as the "genocidal gaze", an attitude that was later perpetuated by the Nazis.

Unforgettable prose style poetry pieces from amazing writer Julius Kane.

"Poetry, I believe, is about candid questions and conversations for and of the poet's time. This is what runs through Success's poetry.

(Nnanna Ikpo, author of Fimi sile Forever)

He has kept me and made sure that I had the strength to go through all God had in store for me. When people think of their personal strength, the first thing they think of is weakness. They think they can’t do whatever the activity is.
