Posted in: , ,

Serena Williams last Saturday, beat Maria Sharapova in the French Open finals to take the title at the Tennis Championship. It was her 16the Grand Slam win and she's not backing down.

It appears Beyonce is another fan, and in a show of support, she posted a handwritten note on her site congratulating Serena, "Stunt on them Serena, 31 and in your prime...You have no idea how much you inspire all of us women."

I've been wanting to see some non-entertainment women on magazine covers and TW seems to have read my mind. Olajumoke is an architect. Well done TW!

Jennifer Eliogu – Ifunanya : Romance Meets Music

Posted in: , ,

This is honestly one of the best songs I've heard come out of Nigeria in recent times.

I love this, and will buy a CD when it becomes available.
