• 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.”

Unrestrained and Unashamed

It's been a while since I last wrote, or pretty much copied and pasted someone else's writing onto this blog..haha, but i have something i need to share that is working in me right now. Gratitude

I'm thankful that I have a home, a family and food to eat.

I'm thankful that my Lord and Savior chose me of all other people to save and make me totally His.

I'm thankful that God's mercies are new every morning, and He saw it fit to add another day for me.

I'm thankful that I have the 5 full senses - sight, smell, touch, and the other 2.

I'm thankful that I have work to do, and even in my place of work, Christ is still glorified.

I'm thankful to God that I have brought forth two beautiful girls with the help of my husband.

With all that I am and with all that I have, I honor the Lord and I give my whole life and heart to Him.

Unrestrained and unashamed.
