So without further ado, Let me introduce to you Songwe! Introduce Yourself: Tell us who you are, what you do and a little about you. My name is Songwe Chiyombwe… different I know!

Boss Lady Up Series
Hello everyone! It has been a while! I have been so busy but I am excited because for the month of July I will be doing a miniseries called: Boss Lady Up! I have had the honor of meeting some incredible people in my life. For July, I am going to share five incredibly successful women’s stories and how they are a Boss Lady. When you think of a boss lady, what comes to mind? For me, I think of Michelle Obama, Serena Williams, Kate Middleton, and other BIG names. However, there are boss lady’s that are not former first lady’s, famous tennis players, or duchesses, that make a difference.…

Stay Calm and Exercise
Exercise, the majority of people have a love-hate relationship with it. However, exercise is very important in staying healthy and staying/ getting in shape… did I mention it is GREAT for you and fun!

ALL HE DOES IS WIN!!!
It has been SOO long since I wrote, I have missed all of you! I took a break from writing to study for the MCAT. If you have been reading the blog and have been a part of this journey with me then you know that being a doctor is the dream. However, I became paralyzed with fear when I graduated from college because my GPA was not competitive enough (so I thought) and I did not think that I could complete the dream. But then, God showed me His promises that tell me how He is for me. I decided to take a leap of faith and to take God…

Wakanda forever
On February 15, 2018, the movie that we all have been waiting for came out, Black Panther. In the opening weekend of this movie, it made over 400 million dollars. People came out and supported this incredible film. Some people dressed in African garb, while others wore outfits representing the African American culture. We all were captivated while we watched T’Challa, Kilmonger, Princess Shuri, Okoye, Nakia, and the other amazing characters come alive on the screen. But what truly made this movie special was Wakanda. Wakanda, a city ran by Wakandans (Black people), occupied by Wakandans, highly technologically advanced, and home of all the Vibrainium in the world. Wakanda is a…

Water should be your best friend!
Water is essential for living. It is important for cooking, cleaning, proper hygiene, and the environment. Water is also very important to stay healthy. Water is a chemical compound of two Hydrogen molecules bounded to an Oxygen molecule (I’m a scientist). This incredible compound, water, keeps the body working and is needed for hydration, immune health, and waste removal from the body. Fun fact! Did you know that the body is made up of 70% of Water? Water is used to help remove toxins from the body. When you do not drink enough water, your kidneys work twice as hard to remove toxins and waste from your body. You might suffer…

Wait on God
God has been teaching me patience. We all know this because of me writing The Wait, The Gift of Patience, and Being Patient Because God Has You ( if you haven’t read these post you should, they’re Great!).

Well, sometimes you have to go through some heartache to learn the lesson. So, this post tells the reason why we need to be patient and wait on God. There will come a time in life that you learn just to trust God and the journey…

I love Good Food
One of the biggest components of your health is what you eat (aka diet). The diet is one of the hardest things to control but is extremely important. With the endless amount of places that you can get food and the busy schedules you might have, it is extremely hard to have a proper diet. I mean for me it is hard to eat healthy if I don’t meal prep on Sunday. When you have an unbalanced diet, your whole life is off balance (well that is true for me). So how do you keep your life in balance? Through a good diet! A good diet needs to have a…

He help’s me choose good godly friends that will love and cherish me. God, the God of the universe means provider. When I am without He provides for me. Even when I am not worthy of it, He blesses me.…
