Being a black diamond. My people. The long road. That we have traveled for freedom. It All Began a long time ago. The winding roads. The different distances that we have all traveled. Across the Across the sky. And we are still moving. From one place to the other. Sometimes. We travel with friends. Strangers. And most times we do it on our own. When no one is looking. And you're not able to see. Beyond who you are. The color of your skin. You still can raise your hand. To be noticed. And be given a fair chance. The world is changing. It is important to love one another. The greatest. Is to be persistent. When you only have a few supporters, Take each moment as it comes. It takes sometimes the strongest and sometimes, the even the weakest. To make it to the end. Of a difficult situation. We are all human beings. Some are destined. For greatness. And some Gonna have difficult times. In this troubled. But we are all great. We are all important. We are Special. We need to. That yearning. And that desire for victory. Against all. That may be happening around us. Even if we have to walk alone, You can help. Others. And think about where you have been. And how long it has taken you to reach your ultimate goal. Even though there are more distance to go. You keep moving. You do not give up. The fight. No matter what the obstacles. The Emancipation of. Was only a starting point. For my people. We work hard. For sometimes for the least amount of respect and pay. But in the highest level. We are like the stars in the sky. We are infinitely the most beautiful. The most blessed. And the most courageous. We are fun to be around. We are exciting people. Sometimes, it's not always easy to smile and be positive. But we try not to regret the past struggles. We developed that much needed resilience to pursue. And continue. To keep moving. When we are going through the poor situations. But we are sometimes the richest people in the world. Being a black person. We still do feel face discrimination. And sometimes a lack of acceptance. Diamonds. Start as rocks in the ground. And over time, it becomes the most beautiful precious object. Being black or part of the global majority. Is is a privilege. And we should not lose who we are. And what we have become. We have achieved so many things in this world. Through music dance. Our food. Through education troop politics through healthcare and true, social justice. Will still not be the ones who will be silenced but we know But that we will feel that we need to be silent. But I would say, keep reaching, keep shouting. Keep being open. And continue to rise. And to love even more.
Migration is here to stay because there are limited professional skills in the UK. The problem is partly a symptom of the UK system not fully preparing young people for work in every sector. Young persons are sold empty dreams in some sectors, becoming rich before 30 and not necessarily adopting the right motivation of giving back to their communities.
A Survival Story

A Survival Story

2023-08-0702:06

Everyone will have a dream and a vision for their life. In reality, hard work and support from others may not be enough because opportunities can be restricted in your chosen careers. Thinking of others and showing kindness makes the world a less empty place.
During a championship game there will always be one winner, let it be you. Be nice to yourself in the workplace and let your aspirations take you to places that you truly enjoy by striving to make a difference in the world. Please try not to forget about the most important commodity, which is you. Keep the momentum, and when it gets too much, take a rest and start building that ground again another day. Do not be too shy to accept help and support from others. Step forward and make yourself the new number one!

No Pain No Gain.

Moving into recovery after a long battle with ill health or other extreme problems takes effort and great strength. The pain can leave your body wasted and unable to cope with any more of life challenges. Moving on is the victory after so much pain and hurt as well as other major incidences like the pandemic. To be able to cry and be upset is the healing point to making a fresh start and building a better chance for yourself and others.
