  • The Power Of Words

    The Power Of Words

    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.

  • Plane: A symbol for success or A mere means of transportation?

    Plane: A symbol for success or A mere means of transportation?

    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.

  • Let’s talk about Skin Bleaching.

    Let’s talk about Skin Bleaching.

    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.

    Beauty and Brains: Rexy Rolle, the 30-year-old woman who runs a Black-Owned Airline

     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.
