When I stopped seeing my mother with the eyes of a child, I saw the woman who helped me give birth to myself.  ~Nancy Friday

Rise Above Your Trauma: The Keys to Achieving Personal Development

-
Image
According to Google, Personal Development is a lifelong process. It is a way for people to assess their skills and qualities, consider their aims in life and set goals to realize and maximize their potential. Incidents and events that happened in our lives have scarred many of us. It has injured us to a point where we have lost ourselves, our dreams, visions and aspirations. My story dates back to my earlier years. I grew up as a brilliant and spontaneous child. I was that youth who soared through everything; I had a powerful personality but was also very fearful of displaying my full potential as I passed through an emotional and traumatic childhood. This was a trauma that stuck through and blocked me from bringing out the best version of myself. I continued existence as the little girl who had a wonderful vision of growth. I had flushed out all that I went through and endured life. Likewise, I matriculated, then later on graduated with flying colours. Likewise, I had lived at the...

Last week Friday, I was kindly invited by Indlovukazi Society to MC at their opening function. It was such an overwhelming feeling to see men and women gathered in a Women Empowerment Function, engaging on issues that affect women in Tertiary Institutions. The theme was Women and Education.

Black African Man...

This one is for you... I yearn for a strong greet in your mother tongue Sanibonani (isiZulu); Molo (isiXhosa); Hallo (Afrikaans); Thobela (Sepedi); Dumela(Setswana); Lumela (Sesotho); Abusheni (Xitsonga); Sanibona (siSwati); Avuwani(Tshivenda);Salibonani (isiNdebele). And ooze me by asking how am I in your mother tongue, and not with some old and lame pick up line, which you just carelessly grabbed along the shores of life, but let your true reflection reflect your upbringing, your roots, and your blackness. Black African Man would you please sway a sister with a rich feel that speaks to the soul with no intention to flirt, when you kindly ask to get to know me in your mother tongue and not an “I’d like to get to know you more babe” kind of statement. Rude, arrogant guy I will perceive you as. Here me correctly, there is no issue with a black English speaking man, but seemingly a black man’s mother tongue sounds more legit and appealing. To our Black African Men, aware of ...
