Hi Guys,
I hope you are well and keeping safe. We live in challenging times and I know it’s difficult for everyone nevertheless, we are looking forward to a bounce-back soon.
I send my love to people who have been drastically affected by the Co-Vid 19 crisis, those who have lost their loved ones, those who have friends and families battling in the hospitals and those who still go out every day serving humanity. Strength and courage to you all!

The quest to conquer
A sole element of human destruction
An insatiable appetite to remain relevant
It often sprout from failure to remain united
Enemies creep in to explore the loophole
Sanity goes into disarray…
The sounds of the gong,
Joyful chattering
Incessant cry of the children,
Chatters of adult,
Men and women tranquility.
Boom!Boom!!Boom!!!
All lost,
Wailing in the market place
The children are excruciatingly helpless
And the women and elders mourn,
The feeble are left behind
The wise one are far away in strange land
Captured into captive
The women and children, rendered homeless
The elders, living a life far worse than death
The one with father becomes fatherless
The one with mother, motherless
The land, Desolate and Deserted
Every single war ever fought started with a logical dialogue
Words they say is mightier than sword,
Capable to rebuild and destroy,
A peaceful dialogue saves nation,
Our children happy
Our youth untainted
Our women chattering
Our men productive
Our talent useful and usable,
And our land prosperous.
Life is sweet in it fullnesss
The assumption of it is oblivion
The past we can’t nevertheless change
The present we accept
But the future we never know
We move with the wave of time
We assume,we make predictions
But the full knowledge we never have
We live life in a void
A kind of emptiness we feel everyday
The next step in journey of life
We never know .
At times you struggle hard to do something
It fails
But many a time, you get it easily done without delay
At times you struggle hard to get it.
You feel like doing something great
But you don’t know how or
Where to start and begin
The choice is yours either to sit down
Or build yourselves to a greater person
And allow time to take charge
Human struggle is nothing
Without God..
At the edge of every human success is God.

In 1903, the Wright brothers invented and flew the first airplane, this was recognized as “the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight”.
Why was plane invented?
Airplanes are important because they are capable of transporting parcels as well as people to the other side of the world in less than a day. Airplanes deliver quick supplies to remote locations in emergency situations and restock military operations. Airplanes also improve medical care by quickly moving patients from rural areas to large medical centres and transporting organs to distant locations for transplants. Before the advent of safe and convenient travel by airplane, journeys took much longer and were more difficult. That’s why invention of airplanes was considered important.
Now to the main gist….
A plane is simply a means of transportation.

Black is beautiful,
Black don’t crack,
Love your skin, it’s your glow.
You are perfect.
About five years ago, I wrote an end of thesis that was focused on “Reading Images and the representatoion of black people in text books and Encylopedias ” It focused on beauty and the way people do everything possible to enhance themselves to look fairer and whiter, unfortunately, it is still the case as of today with more sophisticated products.
Inspiration of the Day
Meet 30-year-old REXY ROLLE, the woman running one of the most successful Black-Owned Airlines In The World. She is born Sherrexcia ROLLE and hails from Bahamas. She currently works as the Vice President of Operations and General Counsel at Western Air based out of the San Andros Airport in the Bahamas.
She deals with the daily operations of the company and also anticipating new destinations and plans on expanding the fleets and currently, the fleet is valued at over $90 million.
The company is owned by her father Rex Rolle, who is President and CEO of the company. Leading a company as such is not what we see black women do daily, Rexy Rolle is an inspration because young girls can do look up to her and believe in themselves. In her interview with essence she said
” I hope the lesson that they take from me is that you have to take advantage of any and all opportunities that may be presented to you. When I was younger I didn’t fully understand everything that my parents were sacrificing to do in terms of what their bigger vision was. I had to make a decision as to whether I was going to embrace their dreams, and build upon it or just feel comfortable and live my life, and not be aggressive in doing anything else. It’s important to know that whether you have limited opportunities or an abundance of opportunities, there’s always going to be an abundance of open doors, and it’s up to you whether you slam it shut, or burst it wide open.”
The Choice is always ours to make when the time is right, things may not always go as planned but never stop aiming, never stop dreaming.
Suicide, a serial killer whose only weapon is its victim’s mind, an outlaw who never get prosecuted, he creeps into your thoughts and corrupt the mind…
No matter how the world treats you, Say no to suicide
No matter how frustrating the situation is…
No matter how much that word hurts..
No matter how discouraging your parents are…
No matter how far your mates have gone and you feel left behind,
No matter how inconsiderate your siblings,husband,wife, children
Might be,
When your family turn against you…
When the whole world neglect you, Say no to suicide
When it seems there is no one on your side, No to suicide
When you feel like giving up…
When you run out of strength…
When the situation overwhelms you…
When it seems the problem is unending…
When you fall and no one to help you…
When your pillar of support turns against you…
When your last ray of hope is lost, Say no to suicide
If you lose the war,
The people you are trying to please, will say worst at your funeral
The house you don’t want to lose,will be sold eventually to a new family
To the friend you are trying to please, your death will be meaningless
That friend you think has gone ahead of you, will still be above you
The world you see as hopeless, will give hope to others
That situation you see as frustrating won’t mean a thing
That situation is not your end, pick up the pieces
Be happy with yourself no matter what, Your happiness is not dependent on anyone
The world may neglected you, But GOD will always stand by you
Never give up on God
That life is not yours, It was given to you by your creator
YOU CAN’T END IT
Remember,
GOD created you
Remember GOD as that last resort.

Adultism just like childism, ageism, are discrimination against a particular set or oppression of people based on the age group the victims belong to. It is an indirect and mental attacks, mapping out how they should behave, communicate, react, dress by the majority group with social power and privilege whom fall outside the victims age bracket.
Adultism according to a source could be explained as behaviors and attitudes based on the assumption that adults are better than young people, and entitled to act upon young people without their permission or agreement. This treatment is reinforced by social institutions , parents and organizational structures,who often abuse the power that adults have over their children.
When you can dream but dreams do not control you;
When you think but you go beyond thoughts to actions.
When you can keep your head high, when all is falling around you;
And the voices keep telling you are not good enough.
Trusting yourself when all men doubt you, nevertheless;
their doubts make you strife better.
The universe is such a beautiful miracle with its conglomeration of inestimable elements, features, wonders, puzzles, creatures, hosts of other discoveries and the most amazing of all – its environment. It takes a creature with a brain, no matter how limited to identify and observe consciously what the universe offers, its effects, how to maximize or minimize its influence and dictate how it affects his or her personal life.
Thus conscious living as some writers agreed involves questioning negative behaviors, actions, inactions, habits and substitute them with more positive ones. Consciousness empowers you with amazing sensation, motivation, and control over your life and situation,
On the other hand, to embrace personal growth means to relentlessly work on self to improve and develop with age, advancing in wisdom, knowledge, and self-actualization. Personal growth is a way of evolving through a determined mindset and calculated attempts to overcome challenges and obstacles.
