Why Not Do It All? {Behind the Talents of Rahkua}

Rahkua is a beautiful multi-talented women who is equally passionate about modeling, singing, and acting. Originally made in Jackson but currently lives in California, she has managed to travel various areas around the world including France to perform art. Rahkua received a Bachelors of Fine Arts from New York University Tisch School of the Arts. Not only has she appeared in independent films, strutted across runways allover counting Jackson, Los Angeles, and Paris, but in 2013 she dropped a project called “Love Loss Lies”. “Love Loss Lies” consists of 13 songs expressing on the different situations and feelings that could occur going through a relationship.

During the interview that I conducted with Rahkua, I asked her if she could only choose one talent to focus on. I now know why she couldn’t choose! She has the complete package being photogenic, the look of fierceness in her eyes while walking the runway, and the expression of song. If you haven’t heard or seen this fresh talent be lucky that you are being exposed to her now. With continued good energy and faith she is destined to make her mark as an artistic creator in this industry. Watch the interview I did with the lovely Rahkua below and comment your thoughts!

Being Faithful to Someone Who Isn’t Faithful to You

Have you ever been that girl who was being faithful to a man that haven’t committed to you? If not, you at least had that one friend who was in a one sided committed relationship with a man that made it clear they were not together, or with a man who was already in a “committed relationship” with another woman. However, why and how is it that we as women sometimes end up in these twisted circumstances? Based on an example from my own experience, I remember walking past a guy I was dating while he was with his girlfriend and he did not even give me eye contact or recognize my presence. To make matters worst there were people around that knew of the relationship that me and this gentleman shared. I heard some of these people laugh and snickle at the shamed look on my face and I swore never again would I put myself in such a compromising situation. With that being said, there are still women who are being humiliated and left to wallow in shame as they attempt to bandage there self-inflicted emotional wounds. They are consistently ending up in these unfortunate situations.

Whatever the case maybe, my question is why do some women feel the need to be FAITHFUL to a man who is already with someone, or who has made it clear that he is not looking to be in a relationship? Especially, after you have already experienced the end result of side chick status or giving a man your undeniable all who refuses to even consider commitment. Simultaneously, I have noticed that a lot of men expect this role to be played by most women. Some men can’t handle that while you are dating them you may have other suitors that you are getting to know as well. Why do some women find it invigorating to be faithful to a man they are not in a relationship with? Why are some men uncomfortable with women dating other men at the same time they are dating other women or perhaps in a relationship?

Do You Require Someone to Get Tested Before Having Sex With You?

Have you ever required someone to get tested before they began having sexual intercourse with you? I know you may be thinking well there is no need for that because we will be using condoms. However, let’s be truthful! How many of y’all had sex with a condom and the condom broke? Or you eventually got comfortable with that person and y’all just stopped using condoms altogether? I’m sure that question applies to most of you all, but that’s why it’s important for you and your partner to get tested together!

Some people are afraid to get tested because they are more comfortable not knowing their status. Also some don’t get tested off the strength of their partner getting tested. They believe that since their partner didn’t have anything they don’t either, so there is no need to get tested. I think that it’s mature and a safety protection for yourself and others, if you know your status. One of my friends was having sexual intercourse with someone that she has known for years. She went to the doctor to get her normal checkup and she received all negative results for every sexually transmitted disease. The doctor’s office gave her a printout of all of her results. She then presented the printout to the guy and asked if he could go get tested. He gave her every excuse in the book of why he couldn’t go get tested. She even offered to go with him. He told her that he couldn’t go to any clinic because of the way his insurance is set up. He then told her that his doctor was booked up for a couple of weeks and he could only go on Friday because that’s his only off day. Every week, Friday came and went and he never mentioned testing. She eventually fell back from him and I would have too!!! This same guy has tried to have unprotected sex with her numerous times but never presented her with test results.

What are reasons that people refuse to get tested? There are many people who are having sex with others but are afraid to confront their partners with real issues that are on their mind. SEX SHOULD NEVER BE A TIMID TOPIC. I have heard numerous men say that they don’t like going to the doctor. I feel that people in general are afraid of going to the doctor because of what could happen or what they might have. But you can’t cope with the maybes or what ifs, you can only cope with what is real. Getting tested helps builds trust with you and your mate/sexual partner. It also kills the elephant in the room. A lot of people feel that their sexual business is their business but you are having constant sex with me, your sexual business is my business! But that’s just me! Do you know your partner’s sexual status? Are you afraid to ask them to get tested with you? Would you stop having sex with them if they refused to get tested? Express it below!!!
