Re: NOTD Thursday - African names
I love Oluchi because I knew a WONDERFUL girl in college with that name (though spelled a bit different), so it brings back wonderful memories of her! I miss her!
I think Thandie, Taye, and Zuri are nice, but I wouldn't use them. I have friends with a dog named Kobe so to me, it's a dog or a basketball player

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
