The hidden side of the Russian invasion: The suffering of blacks



 First of all I would like to share my pain and immense suffering that I have for the Ukrainian people.

 This unjustified, inexplicable, irrationally cold invasion by the Russian armed forces has displaced the whole world, leaving a trail of questions and perplexities for the future of the Ukrainian people and the whole world.

 Today I am writing this article not to express my disappointment about this war or to express my concerns in the face of the rising prices of gasoline, gas and wheat.

 But I would like to bring to light the humanitarian drama that my fellow men live in this political disaster.

 Once again, when you think that you think that humanity and common sense can take away from ignorance, from stupidity we find ourselves disappointed and face openly the reality that strikes us without censorship.

Turning on social media, I find a video where a Black girl is denied access to the train departing from Kiev for the Ukrainian border.

 She is expressly ordered to get off the train and later pushed to prevent her from getting into the salo, at the same time another soldier gently picks up a Ukrainian girl who is put on the train and also her family and other compatriots.

Once again, despite her critical situation, she was unable to save herself due to the color of her skin.

 Color that she did not choose, wanted but that the lord our god has granted her.

 Color for which she will surely feel guilty because of this episode.

But I would like to say this:

 you are not racism.

 you are not racism.

 you are not racism.

 you are not racism.

 you are not racism.

 your skin is not burden.

 there is no mark against you.

 your being is a holy beauty.

 you.

 are a holy beauty.

 But it must also be said that Racist insults leave you feeling dirty because, even at five years old, we already know

 on some level that, in this society at least, we are indeed lesser citizens with all

 the baggage of racialised history following us ghost-like about our days.  We are

 conquered people living in the conquerors' land, and as such we are people

 without honor.  At five years old we are already conscious of the offense caused

 by our black body turning up in the wrong space, and have begun to internalise

 the negative ideas about blackness so present in the culture.

 In all this sorrow my thoughts go to this girl to whom I would like to say:

 We are powerful because we have survived, and that is what it is all about- survival and growth.

 Own your magic, walk in your purpose, and rock your truth

 The black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness

 Whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it.  Because you’ll find that when you’re free.  .  .  your true self comes out. "

 Your life is already artful- waiting, just waiting, for you to make it art.

To conclude, I would like to affirm all my admiration for the Ukrainian people for their patriotism, respect for their values ​​and vigor in the spirit of the homeland.  The whole world supports you, hold on to yourself and your children's future.

Set boundaries, find peace at workplace.

Boundaries are expectations and needs that help you feel safe and comfortable in your relationships. Expectations in relationships help you stay mentally and emotionally well.  Learning when to say no and when to say yes is also an essential part of feeling comfortable when interacting with others. Remember this, people treat you according to your boundaries. During these 9 years of work, I have had various experiences with people of all kinds.  But there was always a constant that I noticed in my colleagues, something that turned them off as soon as they crossed the threshold of stamping.  Over time I revealed that mysterious feeling that animated them.  What it was??  Well I would say that they had surrendered to their daily routine immediately, anxiously accepting the pay day, with the hope of better days that vanish day after day;  I was dragging myself to their peak with my nerves already tense, carrying the burdens of economic, personal, and ultimatel...

LIVE LIKE NO OTHER BY FINDING YOUR GIFT.

There is a time in everyone's life when you realize that your life is about to change completely.  It can be due to an event, a decision or something else.  Planning every moment of our life without taking into account that life will throw us any challenge from the most difficult to the most trivial to help us find our way or emerge in a vicious circle of melancholy, depression, envy, luxuriate a complete menu of hell  Dante. Today I will talk a little about my story, a boy raised in West Africa where the equator kisses the Atlantic Ocean creating a mix of dream temperatures with seaside resorts, rain forests, fabulous mountains and his cathedral to honor the Vatican. Grew up in the economic part of the country, with a carefree youth, dedicated to education, sports development candied by the warmth that only Africa can grant you. But one day, I found myself in a cabin sitting next to my father, in the direction of Milan Malpensa, 24 hours later I found myself in a small a...

Daries: 25 november 2021

  I'm always amazed at people's reactions when they see me inside the premises of the company I work for. Their face describes the perfect expression: "HOW CAN THIS WORK IN A SIMILAR COMPANY". The last episode happened just today during my lunch break. I was in the coffee area when a worker from the company arrived who is carrying out the restoration work on the offices. This middle-aged gentleman looked at me and said, "Hi brother" smiled and rested with a simple "Hi"; I stood looking at myself for a moment, incredulous of what was happening before his eyes. I wanted so much to tell him: "Oh yes, brother, you too could have succeeded, surely your children will do better than me. It will not be easy, they will make sacrifices, they will suffer insults, mockery on their body, linguistic, ethnic diversity but they will make it. They will not have to find themselves sitting in front of the kitchen table in the evening, with too many days left bef...
