• I dream of the day when these, the African mathematicians and computer specialists in Washington and New York, the African physicists, engineers, doctors, business managers and economists, will return from London and Manchester and Paris and Brussels to add to the African pool of brain power, to enquire into and find solutions to Africa's problems and challenges, to open the African door to the world of knowledge, to elevate Africa's place within the universe of research the information of new knowledge, education and information -Thambo Mbeki, former South African President
  • They therefore concluded that “the findings of this (and other) surveys indicate that coverage of Africa, by the leading sources of American media is, at best, dismissive of the continent’s progress and potential, and thus leading to continued ‘exotification’ and marginalization of the African continent. At worst, coverage disregards recent trends toward democratization, thus betraying an almost contemptuous lack of interest in the potential and progress being achieved on the continent.”

Sometimes i do, sometimes i don't.

I never thought i would say this, but i love my life in America today. 6 months ago, i didn't exactly feel this way. Don't get me wrong, i love my husband, my girls and i would never imagine my life without them. Yet, i always felt there was more for us to do, yet i didn't feel it was here in this country. But the giver of life works in mysterious ways. His word and his comfort comes to me this day like a warm blanket filled with the smell of hot chocolate and surrounded by evening fire.....almost like a heavenly feel to it (never been to heaven tho). I feel content, satisfied, fully secured into the life that God has bestowed on me. I love my time now, my friends, my church and the promises of tomorrow.

I am stronger than i was yesterday, and I am willing to go an extra mile to foster this feeling.

How long will this feeling last?

Help me maintain what i feel today and clothe me in your righteousness.
