This weekend marks 40 years since I arrived in London aged 18 from a working-class background, not knowing anyone - just determined to become a great secretary. I became a Cabinet Minister and Leader of the House of Lords. The real story about me isn't where I started, but...

Dear friends, I turn 43 today. Thank you for all your warm wishes on this day. I took a leave from hospital today to be with family and unwind. I started doing this every birthday after a near fatal crash in 2021 (at a time when I was wholly married to my work) and everything changed since then. I decided to smell the flowers, and touch the grass, but also do quality work as a professional. Yes work life balance is possible. It is not a myth. As a clinical doctor sub-specialist, there are many things I changed for the better. I stopped being a workaholic. I found that seeing 20 patients a day with utmost dedication and care was far more satisfying than seeing 100 quickly. It also helped me improve my patients lives. I learned to prescribe less, listen more, treat when needed and advice lifestyle changes. It is now more than 3 years since I have touched alcohol. So that I can authoritatively treat my patients and advice them with what is right. I stopped meeting medical pharma representatives and accepting to go for every medical conference and sponsored meeting. This actually improved my clinical knowledge because I started to improve myself, on my own. I read more... I became that student I once was. I became my most important competition. Everyday I try to be a better doctor for my patients - by following science and evidence and updating myself. I started to love myself, because of which I started to take care of myself. From finding time for daily work outs (not to develop a 6-pack, but to be physically active to improve overall health), keeping aside time to unwind, and saying no to additional work and over indulging in commitments - because of which, I found time to feed my passions - music, book writing and movies. My first book (non-fiction) is now in proof-reading (hopefully will be out next year). And I started working on my new book projects. Bound India (Bound) and Tara Khandelwal will be representing my future literary works. At some point in the future, I want to write so much more (not like these days when I have to burn midnight oil to get through a chapter after an exhausting day at work). I stopped believing in publish or perish. This is a myth. Academic life is important. I am still active in it - but I choose my battles wisely. I do not get anxious or depressed if I cannot publish medical papers consistently. I decided to publish medical papers if I find them worthy of spending time, money and effort on. This gave me the option of indulging in public health research projects (like Citizens Protein Project) and spend more time with MESH ( This was far more satisfying that wasting money to publish medical science that only catered to my peer-circles and not the public. Today, I had a good breakfast with my wife, and we decided to get inked (my fourth and fifth tattoos), got some choux pastry instead of traditional 'cake cutting' and worked more on my new book (a semi-autobiographical medical college memoir). I thank you all for the great support and love in here... and I hope I can do more for my patients, their family, my family and the public at large... as long as I can. ...and thanks also to my trolls and loud but irrelevant critics in whose minds I live rent free.

Playing pro basketball has always been a dream of mine ever since I was a little kid. Being able to travel the world and get paid to play the past 5 years has truly been a remarkable experience. To get the opportunity to live in 7 countries, be immersed in different cultures, meet new people, and play basketball at a high level are memories I will always cherish. Since being back in the States in May, I have had a lot of time to reflect on what the next step is for me and my family. I got my Real Estate License in the summer with the intentions of just doing it in the off seasons, and then get into it full time when I was done playing. But when our daughter Rinnie was born in September, my mindset began to change. Having a family and being a father has always been a dream of mine too. And now that she is here, I look at life a lot differently. It has been amazing to be around family and friends and raise our daughter in our own home right here in our hometown in Illinois. On top of that, I have really been enjoying being a Real Estate Agent and adjusting to the new challenges that come along with it. I still love basketball, but I always knew there would come a time when I’d have to hang it up, and this feels like it for me. Being a father and a husband is the most important thing to me and that will always come first. Knowing that this is the best decision for us really gives me peace in walking away from a game that has been so good to me over my life. Thank you to basketball for giving me the life I had dreamed about since a child. Now, on to the next chapter of my life 👶🏼🏠🌾🇺🇸

Being boldly outspoken online holds risks. Exposure holds risks. This is why so many fear taking up space or using their voices on the internet. People will pick your words apart, project their own beliefs, fears, insecurities and perceptions on you, make assumptions and even get off on the drama. I have been exposed in the online space since 2018. And through the years, I have been more and more outspoken about my philosophy around FemDom and BDSM, unapologetically. My practice as a Mistress was always sacred to me. And as a Mentor, I hold myself on the same standard and understand the responsibility I hold to lead women on their Mistress Journey, I do not take this lightly. It is also sacred to me. I first entered the SW industry in 2011 from a very disempowered place and experienced heavy trauma. I barely got out of what I got myself into (if you know my story you know). And when I reentered the industry in 2017, I knew my boundaries, that I would work for myself, and that becoming a Professional Dominatrix was a calling. In 5 years, I built something extraordinary. I made a shit ton of money, yes, but I also had real, genuine and long lasting D/s relationships, with subs I respected and who respected me. Not just who admired me, but actually cared about me, as I cared about them. I had my own Dungeon, that was one of the best in Montreal, and I had an online practice that I developed during COVID that helped my business explode. When I got pregnant and decided to leave the industry as a ProDomme, I dedicated my heart and soul to build the most powerful courses for Dommes. It started with The Dominatrix Academy, and then building a Membership and Sisterhood for Dommes to connect from all over the world. I show up there every single day and create classes and programs based on what they are moving through and need to improve their practice, make more money and from a way that feels aligned with them, not at the expense of their integrity, and to build something that can sustain them in the long haul. Up to this day I get messages from my clients/subs from many years ago. Thanking me for our time together. And now I consistently receive gratitude messages and even gifts from the women who work with me. I am very proud of what I built and most importantly, how I built it. It holds my heart beat. Yes, there will always be people who don't resonate, or who don't like me or what I teach or how I do things. But we are all adults, and we should therefore address concerns like adults. In a mature, ethical, loving way. Not with hate threads. I am extremely disheartened that the controversy I am facing is coming from peers and women I respected. Not from some online troll or someone outside the industry judging SWers. That I was prepared to debate with, to defend my community. Yet, the women who are questioning me publicly and writing about me as if they know what they are talking about, have never met me, spoken to me, been in any of my containers. It's just based on assumptions, wrong interpretation of my words, triggers and prejudice. It is because of women like this that there is such a sister wound in this industry. And one of the most beautiful feedbacks I get from the women in my world, is how healing it is to be in a genuine sisterhood, with no cattiness. I stand by what I said and how I meant it. And if it did not land for you, that's okay, it was just not meant for you. Enough time and energy has been leaked on this. I am just going to share a video of the Graduation of The Dominatrix Academy. THIS is what I do. And this is not just words... you get to actually watch what I create with the women who work with me. Thank you for reading.

“My name is Gammee Lolo Waaqayyo. According to the Gregorian calendar, I was born in 2007. I am an Ethiopian national, born in the Oromia region, West Arsi zone, Gadab Hasasa district, in a place called Woqeenxara. When I was 10 years old, both my mother and father passed away. Because of this, the community in my area gathered a small amount of money and bought me a motorcycle. I started working with it by myself. Since I worked between the town and the rural areas, government forces threatened me, saying I was transporting goods to the Shanee armed group in the forests. Out of fear, I fled the country when I was 15 years old and went to Sudan. I stayed in Sudan for about one year. There, I met a friend, and through him, we contacted a smuggler and came to Libya. After we entered Libya, we were placed in a warehouse. Once inside, they demanded money beyond my capacity. Because I had neither my father nor my mother, and my siblings were themselves struggling, I had no way to pay the ransom. Because of this, they subjected me to severe torture. After enduring this for a while, I fell sick and spent about one month inside. Eventually, they released me, and while traveling with my friends towards Tripoli, I was arrested by the police and taken to a detention center called Tajoura. I stayed in the detention center for two months, where I suffered greatly. After that, they released me. One Ethiopian man saw me where I was abandoned and took me to the UNHCR office. But when he brought me there, UNHCR refused to accept me. The young man also abandoned me right outside the UNHCR gate and left me there. I slept in front of the UNHCR gate for four days. After that, another young Ethiopian came to me and asked what had happened. He recorded a video of me and posted it on social media. Afterwards, some young people who knew me by face saw the video and came and took me with them. Even now, I am still in a very difficult situation. I am very sick. I am currently 18 years and 4 months old.”
