  • So About that Barbie Movie..

    Ah by the way , we now have several movie theaters options..ten years ago there were not that many but since then you have: http://www.pathe.sn among several other movie theaters.

    My daughter really wanted to go see the Barbie movie which kinda surprised me because her” playing with Barbie “phase didn’t last that long…

    But anywhoo we went, there were a group of young ladies all in their pink drip😄.. I guess all the way to Dakar, the pink dress code was respected. They reminded me of my College days, going to the movies with my girls.. it was always exciting and fun.

    Next to us, was a young Senegalese father on dad’s girls duties, he was buzy between the several bathroom breaks and the little girl chit chat.. come on Ken you got this 🦸🏾‍♂️😅..

    It was a cute movie with its obvious message of women empowerment. I’m glad they incorporated characters of different origins. It was particularly nice seeing Issa Rae ( 🇸🇳Represent)

    Definitely a cute outing with the lil’ one, glad we got to create a new memory together:)

    Until next time, take good care of yourselves:)

    Yaye

  • Oh how I missed this blog:)

    It’s funny I haven’t posted in this space in such a long time.. try une dizaine de years…can’t believe it went by this fast..

    But anywhoo the space is still available and I am still living in Dakar. You can easily imagine that Dakar living has evolved a lot, lots more cultural spaces, cultural events, concept stores , lounges ..restaurants ect ect..

    Frankly I still have a lot to explore but I wanna do it organically so if I see anything worth sharing I’ll do so.

    Thank you for some of your messages .. I didn’t know some of y’all still stop here.. IG & fast social media have taken over.. people have less patience with reading and sharing..

    I used to read so many cool blogs but many have disappeared ect..

    I Hope you guyz are well and thriving…life is not easy but what a beautiful journey..

    Donc voilà anytime I will feel like sharing my thoughts or places I’ve been to…I will be back

    Gros bisous and take good care of yourselves:)

    Yaye…
