Young
EDITOR’S NOTE
APhoto: Kola Oshalusi @insignamedia Makeup: Zaron
s this new generation continues to rise, one thing becomes increasingly clear: impact is no longer defined by age, but by action. We have highlighted some individuals in our cover story who represent more than personal success; they reflect a broader shift in how influence is built, shared, and sustained. Across different industries, they are proving that leadership can be bold, creative, and deeply connected to the moment.
They are united not just by talent, but by intention. Deliberate in their craft, aware of their platforms, and mindful of the narratives they shape, they engage a generation that values authenticity, innovation, and relevance. They don’t follow trends—they create them.
There is also a strong sense of ownership in how they operate. They understand the importance of controlling their stories, building their brands, and defining success on their own terms. This independence is part of what makes their impact both immediate and lasting. It signals a shift toward a more self-assured and forward-thinking Africa.

MAXI VS. MIDI
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SKIRT LENGTH
BY DORCAS AKINTOYE
Skirts are one of the easiest pieces to style, but choosing the right length can make a big difference in how your outfit looks and feels.Two popular options are maxi skirts and midi skirts.While they may seem similar at first, they give very different vibes.A maxi skirt usually goes all the way down to your ankles, while a midi skirt stops somewhere between your knees and ankles.The truth is, there is no perfect length for everyone. Once you understand a few simple things, choosing becomes very easy. Here are four clear ways to decide which skirt length is right for you.
CONSIDER YOUR HEIGHT
Your height plays a big role in how a skirt looks on you. If you are on the shorter side, midi skirts can sometimes cut your legs at an awkward point, making you look shorter. But this doesn’t mean you should avoid them.You can still wear midi skirts by pairing them with heels or choosing ones that sit slightly above mid-calf. Maxi skirts, on the other hand, can make you look taller if they are well-fitted at the waist and not too bulky. A straight or slightly fitted maxi skirt works better than a very wide one.
LOOK AT YOUR BODY TYPE
Different skirt lengths highlight different parts of your body. Midi skirts draw attention to your calves and can show off your shape nicely, especially if they are fitted or slightly flared. If you like to show a bit of leg without going too short, midi is a great choice. Maxi skirts cover more of your body and give a longer, smoother line.They are great if you prefer more coverage or want a more modest look.They also help hide areas you may not want to draw attention to.
THINK
ABOUT OCCASIONTHE
Where you are going matters a lot when choosing your skirt length. Midi skirts are very versatile.You can wear them to work, meetings, church, or even casual outings.They give a neat and polished look without trying too hard. Maxi skirts are more relaxed and flowy.They are perfect for beach days, weekend outings, travel, or when you just want to feel comfortable. However, some well- structured maxi skirts can also work for formal events if styled properly.
THINK ABOUT COMFORT MOVEMENTAND
Comfort is something people often forget, but it matters a lot. Maxi skirts are usually very comfortable because they are loose and allow easy movement. They are perfect for hot weather or long days when you want to feel free and relaxed. Midi skirts can sometimes feel more structured, especially if they are tight or made with stiff fabric. But they also give a more put-together look.
Choosing between a maxi and a midi skirt is not about following rules. It is about understanding what works for your body, your lifestyle, and your mood. At the end of the day, the best skirt length is the one that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself.

TRUTHS
Never Ever Have I…
We decided, rather spontaneously, to go to the tulip festival in Amsterdam. It felt like the right kind of escape. Colour, canals, bicycles, and the illusion that life is simpler somewhere else. There were six women and two men, all old friends stitched together by different seasons of life. Some of us had known each other for decades. Others had drifted in later, yet the familiarity was immediate. It was the kind that allows silence to exist without explanation.
If this is a judgment-free zone, I will admit that about eighty percent of us were very high on marijuana. If this is a judgment zone, please forget I wrote that, as my backspace key was not working.
The atmosphere softened quickly. Laughter came easily. The conversation wandered. Someone suggested truth or dare, but we abandoned it almost immediately. We were too old for dares and too aware of consequences for reckless truths. We settled on a different game instead.
Never ever have I.
We agreed to avoid the predictable, sexualised questions. This round would be about friendships, secrets, morality, and betrayal. The things we rarely say out loud.
Never ever have I stayed in a friendship long after it stopped being kind.
A few hands went up.
It questioned my morality, my faith, and the identity I had carefully built. I am deeply Christian. I believed I was grounded spiritually. Then, in a single moment, I became someone I never believed I could be.
It destroyed the friendship. I never told him. I never told anyone. I have carried it quietly ever since, and the silence has been heavier than the act itself. It did not heal me. It did not hurt him. It simply fractured me. She looked up at us.
In that moment of pain, if someone had handed me a gun, I genuinely do not know what I would have done. This felt like the closest thing to pulling a trigger. It was impulsive, destructive, and deeply human. The regret arrived almost immediately and has never really left.
I cannot undo it. I cannot rewrite it. I keep wondering whether confession would bring peace or simply transfer the damage. Do I tell him? Do I carry it? Do I forgive myself? What would you do?
Never ever have I read a message I was not meant to see. More hands.
Never ever have I forgiven someone, but never really forgiven them.
That one drew quiet nods.
Someone else spoke, almost casually. Never ever have I said I would leave if I were cheated on and then stayed.
That one landed differently. One hand went up slowly. Then another. No one commented. The tulips stretched endlessly in front of us, rows of impossible colour under a calm sky, and the game began to feel less playful and more revealing.
Then she spoke.
There is something I swore I would never do, she said quietly. Yet I did it. No one interrupted.
When my partner cheated on me, something in me collapsed in a way I did not recognise. It was not anger, and it was not sadness. It felt like a hollowing out of certainty. I had always believed I would walk away with dignity. I had said it repeatedly. If he cheats, I leave. That was the person I thought I was.
She paused, choosing her words carefully. Instead, I cheated back. It was not planned, and it was not calculated. It was pain searching for somewhere to land. The person I chose was someone he knew. It was also someone I knew. She was a friend.
The air shifted.
It lasted the whole night. The most confusing part was my own response. My body responded even while my mind resisted. For those hours, it felt as though someone else had taken residence inside me. I do not identify as gay, or at least I do not think I am. That is part of what unsettled me. It was not desire for her. It was grief, anger, confusion, and something reckless that I did not recognise in myself.
The moment it ended, the weight arrived. I realised I had crossed a line I had always judged in others.
No one rushed to answer. No one judged. No one attempted to rescue her from the discomfort. We sat there recalculating the lines we had all drawn in our lives, the things we had declared we would never do.
The truth is that life rarely asks permission before it rearranges principles. Pain does not consult morality. Betrayal does not wait for values to stabilise. Even the most religious and morally upright among us remain human. Humanity sometimes reveals itself in moments we would rather not claim.
The conversation eventually moved on. Someone made a joke. Another changed the subject. The laughter returned, but something had shifted. The game had stopped feeling like entertainment and started feeling like exposure.
I still wondered what the others were thinking. Should she confess? Should she bury it? Should she forgive herself? Or accept that some mistakes live quietly beneath the surface.
Perhaps the #Unshakable truth is this. We are all certain of who we would be until life places us in the moment that proves we are something far more complicated.
What would you advise her to do?
See you next week.
THE NEW WAVE YOUNG LEADERS, BIG IMPACT
BY JOHNSON CHUKWUEKE
Across Africa, a new generation is stepping into the spotlight, bold, creative, and unapologetically driven. They are not waiting for opportunities to be handed to them, and they are certainly not following outdated paths. Instead, they are building their own lanes, challenging norms, and redefining what leadership looks like in today’s world. Their presence is not just being felt; it is actively reshaping industries and influencing how Africa is seen on a global stage. This “next wave” goes beyond age. It is defined by mindset, energy, and approach. These young leaders are products of a connected world, digitally aware, culturally grounded, and globally exposed. They understand the power of visibility, the importance of storytelling, and the value of staying authentic while reaching wider audiences. Whether in music, film, fashion, business, or politics, they are merging creativity with purpose, building platforms that reflect both ambition and identity. What makes this generation particularly compelling is its ability to balance relevance at home with recognition abroad. They are deeply rooted in their environments, drawing inspiration from local culture, yet they operate with a global perspective. Their work travels, their voices resonate, and their influence continues to expand beyond borders. In doing so, they are not just representing Africa; they are redefining its narrative.
This cover story highlights a group of these rising voices, individuals who, through their work and presence, embody the spirit of a generation in motion. They are not simply the future of their industries; they are the present force driving change.

In a fast-paced industry, she brings a refreshing sense of ease, allowing her music to grow organically while building a loyal and engaged fan base.

She represents a generation that is confident in its individuality, unafraid to be different, and intentional about its creative direction.

And through their work, their vision, and their influence, these young leaders are not just participating in change; they are driving it with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
BEAUTY HOW TO INFUSE NIACINAMIDE INTO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE
BY DORCAS AKINTOYE
Skincare does not have to be complicated. Sometimes, one good ingredient can make a big difference. One of those ingredients is niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3 that works well for many skin types. It helps control oil, reduce the look of pores, calm redness, and improve uneven skin tone. It is also gentle, which makes it easy to add to almost any routine. In this article, we will show you five simple ways to include it in your skincare routine.
USE A CLEANSER WITH NIACINAMIDE
One easy way to incorporate niacinamide into your routine is to use a cleanser that contains it. While the main job of a cleanser is to remove dirt, oil, and sweat from the skin, a niacinamide cleanser can also help calm the skin and control excess oil. This is especially helpful for people with oily or acne-prone skin. Even though cleansers are washed off quickly, they can still support your skincare routine by providing your skin with a gentle dose of this beneficial ingredient.
APPLY A NIACINAMIDE SERUM
A serum is one of the most effective ways to enjoy the benefits of niacinamide. Serums are light and absorb quickly into the skin, which helps the ingredients work more effectively. A niacinamide serum can help reduce the appearance of pores, balance oil production, and improve uneven skin tone. It is usually applied after cleansing and before moisturiser. With regular use, it can help the skin look smoother and healthier.
CHOOSE A MOISTURISER WITH NIACINAMIDE
USE
NIACINAMIDE IN TARGETED TREATMENTS
Another simple way to use niacinamide is through your moisturiser. A moisturiser with niacinamide not only hydrates the skin but also helps strengthen the skin barrier. The skin barrier protects the skin from dryness, pollution, and other environmental stress. This option is perfect for people who prefer a simple routine because they can moisturise their skin and still enjoy the benefits of niacinamide at the same time.
Niacinamide can also be found in products like toners, face masks, and spot treatments. These products are often used to target specific skin concerns such as dark spots, acne, or dull skin. For example, a face mask with niacinamide can give the skin an extra boost and help brighten the complexion. These treatments are usually used a few times a week to support your regular routine.
USE A NIACINAMIDE TONER
niacinamide to your routine is through a toner. Toners are applied after cleansing and help prepare the skin for the products that follow. A toner with niacinamide can help balance the skin, reduce excess oil, and calm irritation. It also helps the skin absorb serums and moisturisers better. Using a niacinamide toner regularly can leave the skin looking fresh, smooth, and more evenly toned.
Niacinamide is a gentle and effective ingredient that can easily fit into different parts of your skincare routine. Whether you use it in a cleanser, serum, moisturiser, or treatment product, regular use can help improve your skin's overall health and appearance.

THE THING YOU STOPPED WANTING OUT LOUD
You weren’t thinking about it.
That’s what made it strange. It didn’t come through a song. Or a conversation.
Or watching someone else do the thing you once said you would do. You were just… doing something ordinary.
Waiting for a meeting to start.
Sitting in traffic.
Folding something you’ve folded a hundred times before.
And then it passed through.
So quickly, you almost missed it. A direction your mind started moving in before it caught itself. You pause.
Just for a second.
Because something about it feels familiar.
Not new.
Just unfamiliar with how long it has been.
You don’t name it.
You already know what happens when you do.
If you look at it directly, it might ask something of you.
So you don’t. You go back to what you were doing. Answer the message. Adjust your seat. Look up when someone speaks.
Nothing harsh.
But it doesn’t leave completely. It stays somewhere just beneath the surface. Quiet.
Uninsistent.
And then, slowly, it settles into place. Not as an idea.
As something you used to want. You didn’t decide to stop wanting it. There was no moment.
No clear point where you said, this is no longer for me.
It just became harder to say out loud. At first, you mentioned it.
The way you say something you’re still trying on. Lightly. Casually. Like it didn’t matter too much. And each time, it was met with something reasonable.
A question. A concern.
A better option.
A more practical path.
And that’s what made it harder to argue with. It wasn’t cruelty. It was care that didn’t quite know what to do with what you wanted. So it offered you something it could hold instead. Something clearer. Something that made sense. Something you could explain.
And you took it. Because the thing you wanted didn’t come with answers. And this one did.
So you adjusted. A little at first.
Then a little more.
It didn’t go anywhere.
It just moved. From conversation to thought. From thought to something quieter. Until it became something you stopped reaching for.
Not because you stopped wanting it. Because wanting it out loud started to feel like more effort than it was worth.
So life filled in around it. The plans that made more sense. The version of things that didn’t need explanation.
And you became good at that version. Actually good. Not pretending. Not forcing it.
And at some point, you stopped mentioning it. Not as a decision.
Just… gradually.
Just… living there. And that was enough. Until it wasn’t the whole thing anymore. Until now. This small, passing thought. You almost let it go. But you didn’t. You stay with it a second longer than you usually do.
And that’s enough. Enough to notice: You didn’t stop wanting it. You just stopped saying it.
Even to yourself. Maybe this is how it works. The things you stop wanting out loud don’t always leave. They don’t push. They don’t remind you. They just stay.
The way something true tends to.
Even when you haven’t thought about it in a long time. And maybe that is Luxury Silk.
WINE TRAILS DISCOVERING AFRICA’S BEST VINEYARDS
South Africa: The Crown Jewel
At the heart of African winemaking lies the Cape Winelands. Regions like Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl are internationally celebrated for producing some of the world’s finest reds, whites, and sparkling wines. The scenery is just as intoxicating, endless vineyards framed by dramatic mountains and charming Cape Dutch architecture. A wine tasting in Franschhoek can easily turn into a full day of luxury: gourmet pairings, art galleries, and even tram rides through vineyards that look like they belong on a postcard.
Ethiopia: The Unexpected Elegance
Ethiopia is renowned for its coffee, but its vineyards are beginning to make a name too. The Rift Valley, with its unique microclimate, produces wines that are surprising in depth and complexity. For travellers who enjoy being ahead of the curve, exploring Ethiopia’s budding wine industry offers the thrill of tasting a hidden gem before the rest of the world catches on.
Morocco: A Blend of Old and New
Few realise that Morocco’s winemaking traditions date back to Roman times. Today, vineyards in Meknès are producing bold reds and crisp rosés that pair beautifully with the country’s rich cuisine. Picture sipping a glass of Syrah while watching the sun set over olive groves, with the scent of spices from a simmering tagine in the background. It’s a sensory experience where ancient tradition meets modern craft.
Kenya: Safari Meets Sauvignon
In Kenya, wine trails come with a twist of adventure. Around Naivasha and the Rift Valley, vineyards are sprouting near safari landscapes. Imagine starting your day spotting giraffes and lions, then ending it with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc overlooking Lake Naivasha. It’s this blend of wild beauty and refined taste that makes Kenya’s wine scene so exciting and unique.
BY JOHNSON CHUKWUEKE
When people think of wine, the rolling hills of Tuscany or the cobbled vineyards of Bordeaux usually steal the spotlight. But quietly, steadily, Africa is pouring its own story into the glass. From the sun-drenched valleys of South Africa to the Mediterranean charm of Tunisia, the continent’s vineyards are gaining recognition—not only for their unique flavours but also for the immersive travel experiences they offer. For wine lovers and adventure seekers alike, Africa’s wine trails are a toast to discovery.
Tunisia: Mediterranean Charm
Tunisia brings a coastal flair to the mix. With its warm climate and cool sea breezes, the country produces light, refreshing wines that perfectly accompany its Mediterraneaninspired cuisine. Whether paired with fresh seafood or enjoyed on a terrace overlooking the coast, Tunisian wines capture the easy elegance of life by the sea.
Africa’s vineyards are about more than what’s in the bottle. They’re about journeys that weave together history, culture, landscape, and taste. Each country offers something distinctive, from Morocco’s ancient roots to South Africa’s polished estates. For travellers looking to broaden their palate and their perspective, Africa’s wine trails are a reminder that some of the best stories are discovered off the beaten path—one sip at a time.

5 Tips For Decorating With Neutrals
BY DORCAS AKINTOYE
When it comes to decorating a home, neutrals are always a safe and stylish choice. They create a calm, clean, and timeless feel in any space. But here's the thing, decorating with neutrals isn’t just about throwing beige or white all over the place. To make it work beautifully, there are certain tricks to keep in mind. Neutrals give you a soft base, but you still need to know how to bring the space to life. Here are five easy, practical tips to help you decorate your home with neutral colours without it feeling flat or boring.
MIX TEXTURES TO ADD INTEREST
Because neutrals are calm and subtle, you can use a variety of textures to bring the room to life. Think of soft wool throws, linen cushions, velvet chairs, a rattan basket, or a wooden coffee table. Each texture adds something special to the space.
ADD NATURAL ELEMENTS
Nature goes hand in hand with neutrals. Adding natural elements like wood, plants, jute, or bamboo helps create a grounded, refreshing feel in your space. You could add a wooden side table or a large potted plant. These natural touches add warmth and personality to neutral spaces, making them feel more lived-in and welcoming.
USE NEUTRALS AS A BACKGROUND FOR BOLD PIECES
One of the best things about neutrals is that they let other pieces shine. If you have bold artwork, colourful throw pillows, or an eye-catching rug, a neutral background lets these items stand out beautifully. It’s like giving your statement pieces a blank canvas to be noticed. So don’t be afraid to use neutral walls or furniture as a base, and then add pops of personality through accessories.
PLAY WITH LIGHTING
Lighting can completely change the way neutral colours look in a room. In fact, good lighting can help bring out the richness in your neutral shades. During the day, natural light can make the space feel airy and open. At night, use warm light bulbs, floor lamps, or candles to create a cosy vibe. Even a simple table lamp with a soft glow can make neutral tones feel warmer. Don’t rely solely on overhead lighting; experiment with layering light in different corners of your room.
LAYER DIFFERENT SHADES OF NEUTRALS
Neutral doesn’t mean just one colour. There are so many shades within the neutral family, from ivory to taupe, cream, tan, grey, beige, and even soft browns. Instead of sticking to just one tone, layer different shades to create depth and warmth. For example, you can have light cream walls, a darker beige couch, and soft grey curtains. When you layer these tones together, your space feels more complete and visually interesting.
Decorating with neutrals doesn’t have to be dull. With the right mix of shades, textures, natural elements, and lighting, you can create a home that feels both peaceful and stylish. Neutral doesn’t mean boring; it just means you have a soft and flexible base to work with.
LEVELLING UP
Securing That Promotion Without Begging
MASTER YOUR ROLE, THEN GO BEYOND IT
You can’t rise if you haven’t nailed your current position. Be excellent at what you’re already paid to do. Do this by delivering consistent results, solving problems, and adding value. But don’t stop there. Start asking how your department or company can improve, then pitch solutions. Show leadership, not just competence.
KEEP RECEIPTS OF YOUR WINS
Document your achievements. Create a “brag book” or keep a running file of wins—big or small. Include data, positive feedback, successful projects, and new skills acquired. When promotion discussions come up, you won’t be scrambling to prove your worth—you’ll have the evidence right there.
BUILD STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
Visibility matters. You don’t need to be the loudest in the room, but you do need to be seen. Build authentic relationships with people in and outside your team. Join crossfunctional projects, attend work events, and contribute to meeting discussions. Let your work and presence speak volumes.
COMMUNICATE YOUR CAREER GOALS
Don’t assume your manager knows what you want. Set up regular one-on-one meetings to discuss your growth and make it known that you’re aiming for a promotion. Ask what you need to work on and follow through. Being vocal about your goals signals ambition, not desperation.
BY JOHNSON CHUKWUEKE
You’ve been showing up, meeting deadlines, going above and beyond— and yet, you’re still waiting for that “We’re proud to promote you” conversation. Climbing the career ladder can sometimes feel like a waiting game, especially when you’re quietly putting in the work while others seem to be getting all the shine. But here’s the truth: getting promoted isn’t always about who shouts the loudest or who schmoozes the boss the most. It's about positioning yourself so well that when the opportunity shows up, your name is the obvious choice. Working towards getting that moment is never easy, but to increase your chances of getting there, here are a few tips on how to secure that promotion without begging for it.
BE A CULTURE ADD, NOT JUST A CULTURE FIT
Promotions aren’t only about skill—they’re also about influence and impact. Be someone who uplifts the team, mentors new employees, solves conflicts, and contributes to a positive work culture. Leaders are those others look to—not just for expertise, but also for energy and encouragement.
In addition, there are times you need to level up outside your workplace. The promotion comes when you invest in growth off the clock. Take relevant courses, earn certifications, attend workshops, or stay on top of industry trends. When you bring fresh knowledge to the table, you make it easy for leadership to see your readiness for more. You don’t need to beg for recognition when you consistently bring your A-game and position yourself as a valuable asset. Promotion is less about pleading and more about preparation. Walk the walk, stay ready, and make it impossible for them to overlook you. Because when opportunity knocks, it should find you already standing at the door.
FEEL THE HEAT Spicy Desserts That Set Your Taste Buds On Fire
BY JOHNSON CHUKWUEKE
Sweet meets heat, and the world has never been the same. For years, desserts lived safely in the land of sugar, cream, and chocolate. But today’s daring food lovers are pushing boundaries, mixing fiery spices with classic treats to create bold, unforgettable flavour experiences. Whether it’s a warm chilli kick in your brownie or a surprising peppery finish in your ice cream, spicy desserts bring an exciting twist that wakes up your senses in the best possible way. This trend didn’t come out of nowhere. Around the world, cultures have long paired sweetness with spice, from Mexican chilli cocoa to Indian masala milk sweets. Now, chefs and home cooks are reinventing these traditions with modern flair, turning desserts into flavour adventures. If you’re bored with predictable pastries and want something that makes you raise your eyebrows before you raise your spoon, these are the spicy treats you absolutely need to try.
Here are some fiery desserts guaranteed to set your taste buds ablaze in the most delicious way.
CHILLI-INFUSED CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
Chocolate and chilli have been flavour partners for centuries, and brownies take the pairing to new heights. A touch of cayenne or fresh red chilli cuts through the richness, giving each bite a warm, lingering heat. It’s the perfect dessert for those who love a little drama in their chocolate.
MANGO HABANERO SORBET
Sweet, tropical mango meets the bright, fiery punch of habanero pepper. This refreshing sorbet starts off cool and fruity, and then quickly surprises you with a satisfying burn. It’s the ultimate dessert for hot days, ironic, but effective.
SPICED CINNAMONCHILLI APPLE PIE
Apple pie isn’t usually bold, but adding chilli flakes or chipotle powder to the filling changes everything. The spiciness enhances the warm cinnamon notes and balances the sweetness of the apples, creating a comforting dessert with a kick you won’t forget.
GINGER-PEPPER HONEY COOKIES
A soft cookie made with honey, crushed black pepper, and fresh ginger delivers a layered heat that builds slowly. They’re sweet, fragrant, and pleasantly spicy, the kind of treat you enjoy with a cup of tea, wondering why you never tried pepper in cookies before.
HOT
CHOCOLATE WITH A CHILLI TWIST
It’s simple, classic, and undeniably addictive. Add a pinch of chilli powder or a piece of fresh chilli to your hot chocolate, and it suddenly transforms into a warming, sophisticated dessert drink. It’s comfort with attitude, a must-have on cold nights.
Spicy desserts aren’t just about shock value; they’re about contrast, balance, and adventure. They remind us that sweetness doesn’t always need to be safe; sometimes, the best flavours come from taking risks. Whether you’re a dessert lover looking to switch things up or a fearless foodie ready for your next thrill, these fiery treats prove that heat belongs in more than just savoury dishes. Grab a spoon, embrace the burn, and let your taste buds explore something new.
cassy’s chronicles
BURNT LOVE
Ifound out he was cheating on the morning of our anniversary.
I stared at the screen longer than I should have, looking at what she sent him, like maybe the words would rearrange themselves into something less painful. They didn’t.
For a few seconds, I couldn’t breathe. Then I heard the shower running. I wanted to confront him right there in the bathroom, but I didn't.
I placed the phone back exactly where it was and sat on the edge of the bed, staring
at the dress I had planned to wear that evening. Red. His favourite.
We had plans. Breakfast, a movie, dinner at that restaurant he always said was “too expensive but worth it.”
A whole day built on love suddenly felt fake, but I decided to follow through anyway.
When he came out of the bathroom, smiling, towel around his waist, he kissed my forehead like he always did.
“Happy anniversary,” he said.
And I smiled back.
“Happy anniversary.”
I don’t know where the strength came from, but I played my part perfectly. At breakfast, I laughed at his jokes. At the cinema, I rested my head on his shoulder like I had done a hundred times before.
At some point, I even forgot. It's funny how easily love makes you pretend.
By evening, we were back home, getting ready for dinner. I wore the red dress too.
Dinner was beautiful. It was everything I wanted it to be. He toasted us, smiling like he meant every word.
Only if he knew I already knew… about her. About the pregnancy.
We got home late, quiet in that familiar way that used to feel safe. I slipped off my heels. He loosened his shirt and looked at me like nothing had changed.
“You looked amazing tonight,” he said.
I smiled. “Thank you.”
He came closer, touched my waist as if it were natural. Like it was still his place.
And I let him.
Maybe I shouldn’t have. Maybe some people will say it was weak. But in that moment, I wasn’t thinking about right or wrong. I just wanted to feel it one last time. To understand what I was about to walk away from.
We had sex.
“Today was perfect,” he said.
I stared at the ceiling for a second, then turned to him.
“I saw her message,” I said quietly.
He went still.
“What?” he asked.
“I saw everything,” I continued. “And I know she’s pregnant.”
The silence that followed was heavy. Real. Nothing like the silence we shared before.
He sat up. “I can explain...”
I shook my head, sitting up too.
“There’s nothing to explain,” I said. My voice was calm, but my chest felt tight. “I just needed today. I needed to be sure that what we had was real before I let it go.”
He looked at me like he didn’t understand.
“I’m done,” I added.
“Done?” he repeated.
I nodded. “We’re no longer together.”
He didn’t argue. He didn’t say anything. He just stared, as if the weight of it had finally caught up with him.
I turned to the side, pulling the covers over me, my heart still racing but my body exhausted.
Sleep didn’t come immediately. I lay there staring at the ceiling, replaying every moment of the day. And in that, I realised something: I had given us today, all of it, on my own terms.
Eventually, exhaustion won. My eyelids grew heavy, and I let myself drift.

MOVIE REVIEW:
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Let’sgive The Super Mario Galaxy Movie this: for a piece of intellectual-property exploitation, it’s created with far more craft and care than it had to be, with dazzlingly colourful backgrounds and action that’s constantly moving forward.
At the same time, it never stops to explain the rules of the characters and their interactions for those of us not steeped in four decades of gameplay. In other words, people who want to see The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will get a full-throttle The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and for people with no interest in the source material — well, this just isn’t for you.
That refusal to explain itself to newbies is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, the flick moves at a brisker pace than its predecessor, never pausing to footnote its world-building. On the other hand, outsiders will have to take it on faith that, say, Princess Peach (voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy), eating a magic mushroom will make her grow in size, Alice in Wonderland–style.
The villain this time around is Bowser Jr. (Benny Safdie, which should thrill all the toddlers who loved Good Time), seeking to rescue his father, Bowser (Jack Black), who was imprisoned and miniaturised after trying to kidnap Peach in the previous adventure. Bowser Jr. steals another Princess, Rosalina (Brie Larson), to use her powers in nefarious ways.
Rosalina is “mother to the stars,” and she sends one of her children to find Peach. After Peach departs in pursuit, Bowser Jr. steals her entire castle, including plumber brothers Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day), and the galaxy-spanning chase is on.
Along the way, they’ll encounter an amphibian mobster (Luis Guzmán), omnivore Yoshi (Donald Glover), and a very Han Solo–ish space pilot (Glen Powell) — the arrival of the latter two garnered applause from game fans at
my press screening — while a seemingly reformed Bowser finds himself torn between his son’s desire to conquer the universe and the lessons of friendship he’s learned from his former captors, particularly Luigi.
Returning screenwriter Matthew Fogel makes no bones about the fact that he’s adapting a video game here, with the plotting reduced to pure “go to the place and get the thing.” The two laughs I got along the way, even as a non-player, were couched in familiarity: Powell’s never-do-well is clearly playing off its Star Wars references, and a slow-talking information robot utterly rips off the sloth from Zootopia.
The animators and designers, for their part, have crafted a multitude of dazzling worlds and backgrounds for the characters, from the realism of a Monument Valley–style desert (across which Mario and Luigi ride motorcycles) to a gravity-defying casino where there’s gaming not just on the floor but also up the walls and across the ceiling. There’s also some lovely character design on Bowser Jr., whose wide eyes and quivering jaw communicate his desire to make his dad proud (when he’s not ferociously trying to destroy our heroes with his magic paintbrush.)
Directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic (who gave the world the brilliant Teen Titans Go to the Movies! before getting mired in Mario world) know where their bread is buttered, reenacting the left-to-right action of the original video game whenever possible so that fans, in turn, can re-enact the “Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the screen” meme.
And why shouldn’t they? The last few decades of pop culture have demonstrated that, to paraphrase the emperor in Amadeus, people like songs they already know. It’s just a little disappointing that the brain trust behind The Super Mario Galaxy Movie couldn’t throw the occasional bone (or mushroom, or box with a question mark on it) to viewers who don’t already have a high score but might like to join the game.

INVINCIBLE SEASON
The fourth season of Invincible is back to wow us once more with a complicated storyline and thrilling premise, exploring Mark and Nolan’s relationship further while leaving us to wonder what is in store for our young hero as a new issue emerges. Meanwhile, a war is brewing on the horizon that can alter the course of life as Earth knows it, making everything even more tense and thrilling as the episodes go on.
As with every season of the show, we see several villains from different “walks of life” arriving at Earth to take the planet over. The series does a great job of painting these different scenarios in completely new ways, so the vibe is different each time. It makes us sit up and take notice of what’s going on. Furthermore, behind every new villain we see the overarching storyline continuing, following Nolan and Mark at different times as they prepare for the inevitable while also dealing with the complexities of their lives.
Nolan gets an interesting change of pace this season, and his relationship with his sons makes for an emotional addition. I won’t get too deep into it for fear of spoiling these moments, but the series, as always, does a fantastic job of blending the personal with the professional. It keeps the characters flying high as they win one battle after another, while the personal moments
Mark, especially, is going through a hard time, and we focus a bit more on the heartbreak of his trauma in this season. Viewers will be able to feel his emotions as he struggles to come to terms with some of his actions. The internal dilemma of taking a life affects not only human beings but also a superhero, who is responsible for saving hundreds of lives. It’s an interesting and well-done topic, and we see Mark coping with this issue in a rather lonely fight.
At least his home life is a place of respite for him, as mom Debbie is finally in a stable relationship, and Eve and he are having a great time, too. There are some problems here and there, but they are merely bumps on the road. His relationship with Oliver is also heartfelt, and you see their brotherly love in some sweet moments. However, there is one little problem that comes out of nowhere for both the audience and Mark, but the effects of it will probably need another season to be understood!
keep them grounded, reminding them of what’s at stake. The season continues to be entertaining, and there is not one moment when I have found myself bored.
Overall, Invincible Season 4 continues to be fantastic and a must-watch for fans of the show.
With the threat of Viltrumites becoming as omnipresent as ever, allegiances are formed that will leave viewers hopeful. There are several humorous moments surrounding this as well, while the fight sequences leave you breathless. Of course, the animation is fantastic as always, and probably doesn’t need to be mentioned again at this point!
Invincible Season 4 continues to keep Mark’s wins and losses at its forefront, creating a humanised superhero whom we can all relate to. He’s a good person, one not without his faults, and that’s probably what makes this series so engaging to watch.
