My 11 ‘Secrets’
- I’m absolutely crazy about Beyonce… It’s almost unhealthy. She just inspires me so much. #BeyHive
- I’m going to marry Ian Somerhalder one day… one day…
- My favorite movie is Steve Harvey’s Think Like A Man and I cannot wait for the sequel to come out this year!
- I am an Amercian-born Nigerian. I was born in Dallas, Texas. I’m proud to be Nigerian/African and I express that in any way I can through my blog eg my excessive love for ankara material. Africa isn’t solely a continent with poor starving kids and I feel the negative aspects are publicized more than the positive which sucks.
- I attend Duke University (It’s awesomeeeeeeeee!)
- I absolutely love French language and culture. I’ve studied it for over 7 years and intend to continue doing so here in college.
- God’s grace, I’d like to become a doctor specifically a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.
- I could talk about anything skin or beauty or self-care related all day if you left me or care to listen
- I don’t like weaves. I have nothing against those who do but it’s just not my style. I tried weaves once but I couldn’t stand it and took it out after a week. Maybe I’ll change, maybe not.
- My friends call me Lizard (gotten from Lisa… don’t ask how cause I don’t know either), Hairy and Bushy (I’m really hairy, it’s not funny)
- I have conversations and debates with myself. It’s really fun, you should try it sometime.
Tiff’s Questions
1.How old are you?

2. Why did you decide to create a blog?
I created this blog because I wanted to showcase the beauty of Nigerian/African culture but I can’t say that’s all I talk about. I also talk about things that have to do with college and anything self-care. Let’s just say a lot of things.

7. Tell us one of your fondest memories?
Not to be cheesy but it was when I got my acceptance letter into Duke. I didn’t know my tear ducts had such stamina. I cried so much (tears of joy) God help me that my next door roommate came knocking on my door cause she thought I was dying or something. Poor child, she was half asleep and I was a happy mess.
