Expertise

Afro-Hair

I love everything to do with the care of Afro Hair. I've had my hair for as long as I've been alive (:) ) and have always taken pride in how it looks. I also have experience in working in Black hair salons. I'm also a long term member and contributor of a Black hair forum.

Skin-Care

I'm an avid user of cosmetics and skin care products, having suffered over the years with cystic acne. I also trained briefly in Beauty Therapy. I'm a long term member of two very popular Skin Care discussion forums, to which I've extensively contributed.

Life-in-Botswana

I recently returned to Botswana, my home country after living in the UK for thirteen years. A couple of years before we left, I found trying to get information on various aspects of Botswana from that end very frustrating. In my search, I also stumbled across countless people across the world looking for information on Botswana, in vain. I would like to have had someone to look to for information on life in Botswana in general. In hindsight, there're also MANY things I wish I'd known before making my move back to Botswana. I'd like to be able to help returning Batswana as well as other people with interest in Botswana.
