I am Katherine Tatiana Daniel.
He calls me Cat.
October 26th
I'd missed my flight from Kenya to Lagos, Nigeria earlier that morning so waited for the next available flight which was later that evening. It's been a long day, all I wanted was to go Home to the comfort of my bed.

When Dayo had touched my hands offering to give me a lift from the airport down to my apartment claiming to care for this stranger he'd just met I knew and i saw the desire in his eyes and I felt it too; undermining the fact he was way older I admired him.
He was sitted next to me on the flight, he'd listened to my distressed conversation with Walter and couldn't help  but interfere.

He was Kind. Really Kind.
Yes I know Men could be extra-ordinarily nice when they want to get in between your thighs but when i looked in to Dayo's eyes it felt really intense and sincere.
I didn't want to know if he was married or not. We never talked about that, moreover he obviously wasn't wearing his wedding band when we first met, I just wanted to enjoy all the love and happiness he was willing to offer so long as it last.
Yes! I was lonely. In desperate need of love and protection. One which my father had deprived me, love which mum was scared to give me and shyed away from.
If I've had ever had a boyfriend?
Yes!
I was obsessed and so transparent. Physically and emotionally abused. Used and Dumped.

Dayo was promising. He felt like the father figure that wasn't there for me.- He never judged me.

I am Katherine Tatiana Daniel.
Twenty-five years old and I am a dancer.
Nigerian Father and Angolian Mother.
Based In Nigeria for over three years now and in search of my Father.
Left Mum with my step father in Angola in search of my father and peace. Mum shyed away from the idea pretending not to care if I reunited with Dad or not. The only specimen I have in search of my father is the wallet containing his passport photograph he'd left behind  at Mum's apartment.

Our Potty Training Story

Our Potty Training Story As at the time I'm writing this blog my baby 'Vida' is two years old and she's potty trained. Initially she got potty trained at about 21 to 22months old officially even though before then she'd indicate when she needed to use her potty but i choose to say 22months old because she decided independently on her own to stop wearing diapers, whenever I wore her diapers she'd remove it and that's when I came to the conclusion that we were potty trained! So initially I introduced potty to my daughter quite early, I think somewhere around 8-9 months; reasons because the bath my mum gifted us came with a potty and also she (my mum) engineered the idea of how nice it'd be if I started potty training early. So I do as told even though I wasn't doing it consistently, reason because it was difficult to tell when she needed to pee or poo, it just happens plus I wasn't always into it, so it was off and on for me. Fast forward to when s...

Fifteen Things I Would Teach My Daughter

Motherhood is overwhelming . I mean all what I think about is ensuring a sustainable and bright future for my baby girl. For me having a baby girl is like recreating the mini version of yourself and doing anything possible to avert her from making the same mistakes you made and encouraging her to do things you wished you'd have done but was too scared to do. Now that's my truth, I can't say for any other person. Fact is I can't manipulate my daughter's future neither is it right to dictate her life, but here are things I'd love to teach her.  Your Gender Doesn't Define What You Should Do,  Become or Love:  Growing up as a young girl society made me believe some certain things are meant for the male and also for the female; from career choices to hobbies, even as far as to politics, TV shows or entertainment etc.Now this is not a sexist blog but I'd love for my baby girl to know that the things she loves and is passionate about isn't and shouldn...
HOW I GOT RID OF ACNE So late last year 2015 I had this very terrifying acne experience; I've always been prone to pimple but not like the once that had appeared on my face. At first I was thinking it's due to change of environment since I had just returned from school back to Nigeria, so I prayed they just disappear as soon as possible,  This was somet ime around December 2015; but Instead of my face healing it was getting worse.  Not too long every one I knew became a cosmetologist, offering different advice on what I could do, I read blogs, I fell in love with any acne help product I came across; from scrubbing my face with baking powder, to cleanser and fade out black spots face lotion nothing seemed to be working for me. My Dear I gave up! Gave up applying make up because I felt those color corrector I was applying before and after my foundation were doing more harm than good so I'd purchase another once it's finished.  We've seen amazing wonders of ma...
