" The Selma to Montgomery march was part of a series of civil rights protests that occurred in 1965 in Alabama, a Southern state with deeply entrenched racist policies. In March of that year, in an effort to register Black voters in the South, protesters marching the 54-mile route from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery were confronted with deadly violence from local authorities and white vigilante groups. As the world watched, the protesters—under the protection of federalized National Guard troops—finally achieved their goal, walking around the clock for three days to reach Montgomery, Alabama. The historic march, and  Martin Luther King Jr. ’s participation in it, raised awareness of the difficulties faced by Black voters, and the need for a national Voting Right" Quote from : https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/selma-montgomery-march As someone who was born and raised in the motherland (Africa), there is such a huge disconnect about what our public educatio...

The "My Favorite Things" genre usually revolves around listing beloved products and subtly nudging readers towards purchasing them. But in our hyper-consumer world, do we really need more stuff? I'm taking a different approach. I want to share my favorite things to give – things that enrich lives without emptying wallets. Join me on a journey of decluttering and giving back! We're constantly bombarded with messages to buy, buy, buy. But what if we shifted our focus from consumption to contribution? What if, instead of accumulating more possessions, we focused on giving more of ourselves? This list isn't about what you can buy; it's about what you can give to make a real difference. 1.

I hate that in 2024 , I have to be very careful in choosing my language when am just trying to express the facts of the matter. We are being forced to accept people who will not accept themselves and are constantly changing what it is they say they want.  It's like being forced on a carnival ride that you do not want to be on.  P.s. I hate rides. All of them . Six flags , the horses on the Merry go round, super man and etc .  The only thing I want to do at a theme park is the lazy river rides and even that is questionable for hygiene reasons #kids  So what do I do with my feelings of frustrations? I don't let it fester inside of me in silence. Feel your feelings . Let it out in a healthy way: Exercise  Creative outlet- arts - Journaling- painting  Community group Laugh about it  Find others who feel the same and share ...again not in an unhealthy way that leads into the creation of a hate group with a violent agenda....that's not peaceful.....

It was never suppose to be a replacement to running.  It was meant to be a supplément to running especially during the rough 120 degrees summer days. But like all affairs, it starts small, next thing you know, you are divorcing your first love, joining a fantastic hiking group and also leading a hiking group yourself! This is my confession. I am sorry mon amour 💘- running. I am currently trying to find my way back to you and failing at it. StayWell  mes amies
