Hello!
I hope you are well :). So, another month just ended. We thank God! How was your month? Good, Bad, Meh!, what you expected or not… Whatever the case is, we made it out alive…so we are thankful regardless.
First of all, I will tell you about a series on Netflix I have been hooked on..’One of Us is Lying‘; if you do have Neflix, you should check it out! It is actually based on a book written by Karen M. McManus about five students in Bayview High School who go into detention on the first day of school (their last year) and only four come out alive. The series explores the investigations surrounding the death of the student and how the killer is unraveled. But, it does not end there, there is another death at the end of Season 1 leading into Season 2 with a blackmailer/killer on the loose. How will the Baywview Four (now Five) survive this? In my opinion, Season 2 is more dope compared to Season 1 and I cannot count how many times I have watched it….especially with my favourite couple currently ‘Natewyn‘ (Bronwyn and Nate).
I found out about the series from one of my students some time in February and since then I have been hooked! It is a Peacock Original series but unfortunately, I read that it has been cancelled after just 2 seasons…and I am gutted! I do not understand why you will leave a show on such a cliffhanger and then not continue…how are we supposed to deal with that? Fortunately, one of the runners of the show says they are working on getting another streaming platform to acquire the rights and give us a Season 3 because we really need it! I do not want to give you spoilers but if you watch it, you will understand. Even if Season 3 is the last season we get, I am fine, as long as it ties all the loose ends and fills in the gaps. There is even a petition ongoing to save ‘One of Us is Lying‘…love it! Do sign it if you also agree we need a Season 3!
People have said it gives ‘Gossip Girl’, ‘Breakfast Club’ and ‘Pretty Little Liars’ vibes but the good thing is I have not seen any of these series and even if I had, I will still watch because I love murder mystery and thriller movies/series! Also, according to those who have read the book, there are some changes to the storyline but who cares, it is still dope!
Moving on, I opened a new account on IG @travelwithgeezy where I will be sharing updates on my travel journeys (as much as I can remember from way back till present). If you are on IG, please do follow this account for more exciting things moving forward. This idea came from a conversation I had with a friend confirming my love for travelling and how I can use that as a form of educating and informing others when travelling to places I have already been to.
I was also a UK delegate for the UN CSW (Commission on the Status of Women) 67 which was an enlightening experience only that it was shortened because I had to take a brief holiday to clear my head for a few days! (Totally Needed!)
I also finally put my ideas on paper to start an initiative/organisation that has been on my heart for a while. I will reveal details of this once everything has been finalised and also something else (I will reveal this soon!)
I am also a regular panelist on a show ‘Ladies Avenue‘ on Ghana Talks Radio, Monday to Friday 11am to 11:30am, Ghana Time. Do tune in if you can.
And last but not the least, just yesterday, I was a panelist/speaker for the March 2023 edition of SSP’s (SDG Students Program) Global Issue Forum (GIF) centered on the theme of Extreme Poverty. It was an enlightening session coupled with the brilliant submissions from my fellow speakers. I had a great time and what a great way to end the month of March!
I hope this new month brings all the good things we deserve and is better than the previous one. Happy New Month! See you soon with another post :). Take care and stay safe!
