Notes From a Native Daughter

In July, 2008, I, Princess Rachella, Intrepid African American Girl International Journalism Consultant, pulled up stakes once again and headed to Nairobi, Kenya. Through my various adventures, I've concluded that if I get any MORE explosively fabulous in these prequel years to "THE BIG 5-0," I will have to register myself with the Pentagon as a thermonuclear incendiary device.

Luck Be a Lizard...


What is it about the New Year that makes creepy, crawly critters come after me like there's a mob hit on my ass?

New Year's Eve 2008, it was "The Behe-MOTH" that terrorized me under the mosquito netting in Gulu. Yesterday, I opened the cabinet in the bathroom, and a little lizard snaked out, eyeballed me for a second and then skittered away.

When you consider that I've lived at the Liza(rd) Apartments for 6 months now, and this is the first lizard I've seen, I'm doing pretty good. But DAMN! There's nothing like almost grabbing a lizard instead of the roll of toilet paper you were reaching for to give a sister a major case of the heebies.

Looks like "Princess Rachella's 2009 Madcap Adventure" is launching in grand style!
