Embracing Diversity: Out Of The Closet

I remember the awkward moment when I came out to my mom during another potential introduction to another female friend. Mustering up courage, I blurted out, “Mom, I’m gay.” Her response? “Well, that’s certainly a unique choice.” I could practically hear the crickets chirping in the background, briefly.

Growing up closeted, embracing diversity was a challenge. I felt isolated and alone, struggling to reconcile my true self with societal expectations.

Coming out was a daunting step, but finding acceptance within the LGBTQ+ community and eventually within my family was incredibly rewarding. It was a long journey, It remains a never-ending one. One slip can terminate all that LGBT freedom that was fought for.

Food | Roman’s Pizza

South Africa’s Roman’s Pizza, born as Little Caesar’s back in 1993, was once famous for their “two in one” deals. However, the Covid-19 pandemic and consequent lockdowns wider business woes led to discounts getting sliced from the menu. The tough times turned the pizza industry into a topping battleground, with traditional classics locking horns with adventurous newcomers like fruit, aloe vera, caramelized onions, and, yes, even insects. Yet despite the hardships, the game of pizzas marches on, armed with DIY recipes, versatile ingredients, and an insatiable appetite for innovation (and melted cheese).
