Breaking Chains Of The Mind

By OREVA GODWIN Chains of the mind. As I wrote this piece, I came to the realisation of how much I've grown as to identify the chains that once held me bound, and how I confronted and broke them.

By OREVA GODWIN The good days of our forefathers, when men were men are gone. When men proudly stood and took up responsibility and felt they had failed the family for not being able to provide for it's upkeep. But now? Men scout for women that would split the bills.

By OREVA GODWIN Can a husband truly rape his wife? This question is controversial in nature, and you, my dearest readers, know I am controversial in nature. Will I say I am a traditional woman? Yes, I will say I am one, but I am not an ethnocentrist. I'm an exposed mind, and being an ethnocentrist shows I have not evolved as a person.
