Hi Everybody

I hope all of you are doing well and ending off the year alive and blessed!

I want to apologies for the lack of updates due to college and other priorities.

I took a little break for myself just to rejuvenate because activism is not easy...not at all. I've been feeling frustrated lately and I am not sure if the frustration stems from the fact that I am in an environment that constantly demands pressure in terms of studies etc. or am I feeling frustrated because of the world of humanitarian affairs and how unjust it actually is?

I'm bothered by the fact that there are entities such as the United Nations portraying themselves in good light but every morning I have to wake up to messages from victims crying about the fact that their case has been dismissed by the UN themselves.

I am frustrated by the fact that there are individuals who are given a platform of power and resources but they are not using what they have, to do good for the people around them, even though they can see how desperate the worlds circumstances are.

I am also really frustrated by the fact that we have so many humanitarian entities in the world (Over 500,000 active ones) to be exact but yet we have twice as much problems. Something is wrong.

I am just really frustrated about a lot of things that I have witnessed and experienced in my journey of activism and it only hurts twice as much because there are real people getting hurt out there. You receive that one email calling out for help or that one tweet from an individual informing you that they are in anguish but how exactly do you help them? when the world is filled with fake honorary awards that applaud the wrong people or entities that deem themselves saviors of the world only to be the villains... or influencers of all industries who pride themselves in labels that don't befit their character in nature after approach...

I'm not really a person who says much but I just need to let this thing out of my chest because it angers at me. Lol it angers me so-much-so that if I weren't wearing the veil of Christianity, most of these entities would label me as the "black crazy woman who used profanity against us".

No seriously, there are times where the middle finger looked enticing to pull at a lot of these so called organizations and its officials but I've always promised myself and the God I serve that whatever I do should be done in Respect, Love and most importantly Grace. I'm not only representing myself and God but I am also representing the victims and the people who support me like you guys. Whatever I do or say will ultimately drag people down with me directly or indirectly and I cant afford to disappoint anyone like that let alone please my enemies.

Therefore as the fight continues, we will continue just as hard and just as tough. It's hard yes, but if it weren't hard then is it really worth it? Close your eyes, take a deep breathe and continue. I speak these words to those who might be frustrated in their employment, school, homes, relationships. Breathe and know that your strength is the glory of your crown. You can do this.

As the Book of John 14:27 says, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be trouble and do not be afraid"

 

Love you all and thank you for reading my rant. Next week I will update you on the latest. Take care, be still and may peace be upon you.
