I survived Narcissistic Abuse, Again! (A Belgian Photographer, this time.)

I survived Narcissistic Abuse, Again! (A Belgian Photographer, this time.)

I try to connect the dots of specific manipulative actions of Belgian Photographer, Yuri Andries: The love baiting and bombing, the devaluation and lies. Sexual harrassment and dreams of an inevitable end to the fake friendship he cultivated with me to blindside me from his abuse and exploitation of my vulnerability being a black and queer minority. How his plot to use shaming his victims and false reconciliations to escape accountability and continue his abuse failed. How happy I am, setting myself free and using my experience to warn and inform black minorities and empaths in general, creating awareness about Narcissistic Personality Disorder and White Saviourism and being aware of my own conditioning and a need to rise above it to gain the truest sense of self, love and respect I deserve, the three things a narcissist can never have and hence their shaming and destruction of these qualities in their poor victims.

I Don't See Colour - A Trick By White People

I Don't See Colour - A Trick By White People

My Encouter with a white narcissist. When he proposed 'I don't See Color' to exploit my conditioning as a black person to make bigger room for the white skin on the figurative sidewalk even if it's my space. To treat racism as person-to-person rather than systemic.

Narcissistic Abuse - Outstanding from My Three Year Work Relationship with Yuri Andries

Narcissistic Abuse - Outstanding from My Three Year Work Relationship with Yuri Andries

I share the depth of my encounter with a Belgian Photographer. The Emotional, The Psychological and The Sexual Manipulation I endured over the last three years only for the ending to be even more brutal exploitation of black queer art through not just his narcissistic personality disorder but also his racist and capitalist stance which he claims "is the norm" by most photographers he'd spoken to, "you can ask Max Pinckers or Bieke Depoorter," he said. Maybe I should investigate these two others as well.

Knowing Narcissistic Personality Disorder (Red Flags)

Knowing Narcissistic Personality Disorder (Red Flags)

With examples from my recent encounter with a narcissist, I share in layman's terms how to catch this disorder in people. The proof is always in the details and while people have recurring partners with narcissistic traits is attributed to 'having a type' and hence the cycle of abuse, your experience cannot prepare you for it or prevent another cycle if you don't look closely and deeply at what these disordered people present themselves to be and how they do it. Here are a few red flags. @Oteanankanduro (Instagram)

Front Seats Only, Mr. Man

Front Seats Only, Mr. Man

'Balance' is the keyword here whether in commitment to self, a business partner or in marriage/relationship. The role of the masculine and feminine can only be defined through the extension of which energy is dominant and which one is lacking in the self. Once that is discovered, your only role is to choose wisely and let nature run its course. You can be logical or emotional and still be in control and the secret is 'vulnerability'. #gender #masculine #Feminine #wellness #selfmastery #oteanankanduro

UMASS - Racism. Why you can't be Black and Desperate.

UMASS - Racism. Why you can't be Black and Desperate.

Systemic racism and bigotry of all forms condition black people to feel inferior and thus render us beggars trying to find a place at a table of people who are in fact our equals. An anonymous racist letter from the University of Massachusetts makes me question my own circumstances as a queer black man victimised by my own people in a land I call home here in Africa.  #racism #black #africa #lgbtqia #blacklivesmatter #allblacklivesmatter Follow me on Instagram @Oteanankanduro

S02E02 - Dry Humping/Stroke Game Festival of Ghana

Folsom Street in Ghana but for straight people; boring as **** and without the kinky stuff. Grazing the surface of Ghana and its media, the hypocrisy and double standards that marginalize the queer, effeminate and all the different people under the rainbow umbrella. Connect with me on Instagram, lets get personal. If you're interested in Tarot readings, you can also dm. @Oteanankanduro.

Episode 6 - Masculine Cuisine

I like the name Spaghetti Man. If it were a Super Hero name, I would wear it for all effeminate men especially the queer ones because We Love COOKING!!! Everyone can cook! Jump off the ego horse and wrap that apron around your waist, you sexy masculine man. I find cooking meditative but when you cook for me, mmm, it's romantic. I will tell you why.

Episode 5: Tobil Wants Virginity

Episode 5: Tobil Wants Virginity

Some Birthday Wish, Tobil! After a heavy lunch prepared by yours truly, we stay longer at the dining table talking about many things. Knowing that there were two Geminis and two water signs; Kwesi, a Pisces and me, Scorpio, there was no way I was going to let our conversations go with the wind. Tobil wants to talk Virginity and that's exactly what he gets from his three effeminate friends as a proper birthday gift. When four effeminates sit at the table, it's not just gossip like most believe. Connect with me on instagram @Oteanankanduro

Episode 4: Witch Hunt - Grindr vrs Effeminate

My three week unintentional social experiment on grindr. This is an experience I would never forget and I am sure most effeminate men who use Grindr among other dating apps share similar experiences. Our experiences are real. Discrimination against feminine men, gay or straight, by straight people and in the gay community are real. Let's not downplay these experiences. Speak up. Call out the bullies! Join me on my cyber journey on grindr. Let's connect on instagram @Oteanankanduro

Episode 3 - Nostalgia meets Trauma with Kwesi Alibo

Today on The Rest Is Noise, I introduce to you my guest and co-host, Kwesi Alibo. A beautiful effeminate man with whom I shared my childhood. It's been crazy gist after gist since we reunited. We both share how life was and is now as an effeminate Ghanaian; how no one says 'Kojo Besia' these days. Everyone says 'Gay'. This puts all our (effeminates) lives not just in ridicule but in potential danger. Let's connect on instagram @Oteanankanduro

Episode 2: Part of a Grand Scheme - George Floyd

Episode 2: Part of a Grand Scheme - George Floyd

Black people are not angry people. We are just aware and acknowledge that our enemies, seen and unseen, have waged a war, not a laughing contest. They want not just our wealth but our blood. So we are not angry, we are protective! Protection demands aggression and aggression brings revolution. The black people (Especially Africans) who want to stay on the sidelines should stay there and shut up. If you want to stay ignorant and keep being brainwashed it's your choice but don't belittle the stuggles and blame it on us. There are giants in the sky who keep us down. If you are privileged to not see or acknowledge the struggle, good for you but don't for a second, think that you are free; your time hasn't come yet. No black person is free!

Episode 1: Name Game - Kojo Besia

Episode 1: Name Game - Kojo Besia

The difference between Koobi and Tilapia is salt. It can be claimed that Koobi is manmade, however true or false, Koobi is made through a natural additive or preservative, salt. Koobi maintains the right to be called fish, a vital addition to nature. This is what effeminates are, not fish, but close, human. Spice is not to everyone’s taste but we belong here in nature, just like both Tilapia and Koobi thrive together in the marketplace. Instagram - @Oteanankanduro
