THE MASK
Once upon a time in the small town of Normal, Illinois, lived a girl named Ndim. She was American, but her father was from an African country called Cameroon. That is why her name did not sound America. Her mother was American. When Ndim was three years old, her parents told her stories about witchcraft and sorcerers in African countries. She was scared about these stories because she did not like witchcraft or sorcerers.

The Quest for being right
You really have no idea how desperate most people are to be right all the time. It’s quite amazing!, they’ll go as far as denying reality itself if that means they can be right in the end. This yearning for validation can shape a person’s judgment and fundamentally influence their overall worldview. Deep down, the need to be right comes from a drive for certainty and self-assurance. Being right is comforting, reassuring, and provides an internal balance. Humans always seek for validation from other humans, this builds up their assurance, ego and happiness, it makes up for the flaws they might have while satisfying their biases.

The Love and the Difficulty of Loving
After all these years, I recently discovered that my mother is a toxic person. Not because she wants to be, but because life made her that way. And when I stop to analyze, I understand that she can’t change that now. It’s too late!

A Glimpse into My Latest Reflections
Life has a way of prompting us to reflect at unexpected moments, and recently, I found myself in such a state of contemplation. It wasn't a grand event or a life-altering revelation, but a series of small, interconnected experiences that led me to pause and look inward.

My recent reflection. Top Story - August 2024.
Life has its ways of teaching you important lessons. Everything that happens in our existence strides its convoluted intersectionality with a purpose, a purpose that in its divinity has an impactful metamorphosis in our reality. How little do we know about what is about to come when we so confoundingly announce that I know this is how my life would turn out to be. In its own magnanimous and unexpected ways, you would get to what you deserve rather than what you want in most anomalies that our choices create. Whether we get what we want or face a delay or rejection, every event is a rendered outcome of the myriad of choices we chose and how divine intervention in its beauty shielded us from the things that could have destroyed us.

Using AI to avoid conflicts
The words we use, a combination of our tone, gestures, and personality could lead us into conflicts even against our will. This isn’t something we think about very often, but the reason you might be in conflict with others isn’t necessarily an ideological disparity but rather the missteps in our communication.
