Art Forum Africa (AFA) is a discourse initiative that seeks to address matters that concern artists, curators, collectors, governments, art and culture managers, and others that are involved in art in Africa. The forum is created by Bukola Oye of The Sole Adventurer and Wana Udobang of Wanawana.net. This maiden edition of the forum proposes to answer the question: “Where…
So I bumped into this and I simply loved it! In a recent, #Spirit post, we discussed practical ways for showing kindness, but what better place to demonstrate kindness than in the office. Truth is, rarely does the office conjure up feelings of gentleness or kindness. Many of us see the office as a competitive zone, filled with water cooler…
Today marks the start of the 16 day global campaign against gender violence. As an organisation that proudly supports gender equality, positive discrimination for the African women and the eradication of social norms and cultural practices which confine or degrade the African woman and girl, we shall be actively taking part in the campaign. So you’ll notice that the usual…
How many times have you felt like quitting? just throwing in the towel and wondering but who sent me?! I know I have felt that way so many times, especially when the pressures of my ambitions seem more than my capacity to handle them. I found this article written by Dream Life Specialist- Brandy Booner and felt it was an…
They call us the microwave generation. We like things fast and quick. Meteoric rise in your career, extra fat pay check after a few years from graduation, married with kids before 35, the list is endless. We expect nothing but quick and fast results from all the seeds in our life and when this doesn’t happen- we say- why me!…
It’s strange but 5 years ago, I never saw myself as an entrepreneur. In fact I still don’t see myself as one. It’s really about having the opportunity to create my future and entrepreneurship seems to be the only way to express my vision and create the future I want. But as a 9-5 girl with more experience in urban…
I remember the 1st of January 2015 like it was yesterday. The new year euphoria, goal setting, ambitious targets and resolve. Today, most of those goals haven’t been met. Targets have been revised and my resolve isn’t as strong. But I know its only 5 weeks till we scream another Happy New Year and that means there is still time…
I LOVE me some Iyanla…the woman speaks truth for days. This video reminds me of some of the recent relationship vlogs we’ve shared. I guess it has to do with our culture but there is a significant narrative in Nigeria, and I dare say most of Africa, that makes single women feel incomplete. When that is most certainly not the case.…
By Glory Edozien When it comes to women, I feel we place a narrow definition on the term relationships. We often feel the only relationships to be maximised are those between the opposite sex, family or close knit group of friends. While these relationships are important and also form part of your network, there are many other forms of relationships…
I cant speak for everyone but a flat tummy is definitely something I will be asking father Christmas for this year. But as with all good things in life, it takes deliberate action to achieve. Here on IBG we never emphasize aesthetics over health. So please remember that this isn’t about having a bikini body, rather about developing a healthy sustainable lifestyle that is pivotal to achieving your life’s…
