Part I : Don't hate me cause I'm capable
Ok, so I'm a woman and like most of my specie, I constantly feel the
world at large is on a mission to GET me. I see the bruva's rolling
their eyes, well that in it self proves my point. We (women folk) wake
to the world with phrases like "it's a man's world" "a lady is to be
seen and not heard". Where a man seeks to advance his career he's
ambitious, when a woman does it she's put a career before a life. Like
I'm going to stand by and ask 'oga' for monthly tampon allowance.
What happened to equal opportunities? Hmmm? We don't live in the times
of our fathers where men were actually polite, gentle and didn't
stammer when their women asked for a Lil cash. Now men lie, cheat,
lust and sit on their asses comparing themselves to their alter ego's.
I'm tired of these reproductive organs on legs acting like they own
the world! You ate the apple: didn't read bout anyone holding a gun to
your head. Don't blame us cause your life blows. It's double hard for
a woman to succeed at anything 'cause of the same double standard
setting spawns of Satan: we're met with indecent proposals, akward
glances, grabby hands and we still come out on top! I'm making paper,
socializing, and still have time to cuddle.
So you and your double standards can bite my dvb denim cladded behind!

Style & Grace: STYLE SESSION
We know what it's like to have your head buried deep in files, eyes glued to the monitor while fingers punch away at the keyboard... it's a living and man must WHACK!!
Tthen again, just cause you're committed to making that paper, it doesn't mean you've got to give up the social scene. The clubs ain't everybody's thing, the monotony of hitting the same spots, seeing the same people and swaying to same beats can't be that much fun, so we at Style & Grace propose, you get invited to one of our Style Sessions...
It's smooth conversation, tasty treats, and beautiful people all in one place!
The secret to all this is (drum roll please): we're never gonna do the same thing twice- it'll be a Different theme, Everytime. and you're privy to this only if you make the cut as a young, savvy, and stylin' entrepreneur!
So look for u on facebook, drop by our office or better still buy a copy of our mag and hit us up; There's an invite with your name on it!

Dare to dream
It started with a dream: a little girl sees a magazine,she flips through the pages, she smiles at the colors, feels the pictures, the textures. Her name is called, she opens her eyes... but holds on to the dream.
She's in secondary school, she studies the arts, literature, religious knowledge. She tells the guidance counsellor she wants to be a lawyer.
5th year law at uni, she thinks her thesis supervisor is the spawn of satan...
Who knew that good Lord placed the sun in an extraordinary place called Bwari, it's hot as heck, and she's stuck in the auditorium listening (but not understanding) to a lecture on civil procedure, wearing a black suit and white shirt and wishing she was any place but here...
Smile... click! "OUR BARRISTER" she's heard that a million times today.Her family look on her with pride, she's proud... but feels unaccomplished.
Passing out parade????!!!! NYSC is a farce!
"THE LAW IS AN ASS!! She's driving her principal partner's son from school and asks herself if running domestic errands for the boss was a clause in her employment contract. Drops the boy off at home, and heads straight to the airport. She's tired.... and is going to live away from naija wahala for a while.
She's pitching this campaign, trying to convince foreign investors to trust her with their money... the glamorous world of corporate finance.. a very far cry from litigation.. and further away from that dream she had a lifetime ago. She's selling out on her passion... she tenders her resignation.
She exhales... it maybe 20 odd years... but it's done. Her dream finally comes true. The first edition, a sigh of relief, and a tear.. for the little girl that dared to dream

Someday
It is so difficult to be in a relationship where u give and give and ask for little in return but get nothing... it is as painful as slicing your finger with a knife yet we continue in the belief that some day NOTHING could add up to SOMETHING.
I dunno how we come to reach that though?, because all reason, arithmetic and science have proven that 1-1=0.... But what do I know, living in denial seems to work just fine, after all some day is.... Some day.
