EXCUSE MY AFRICAN

Ooops!
I did it again.

So I forgot to tell you all that I was approached by TEAKISI.COM to write an article for them. You can actually check out my profile on the website.

The great news is that my first article has just been published and I am already receiving messages, questions and meeting requests because of it.
I wanted to share it with you, so that my dear supportive and loyal readers will not be left out.

It's called EXCUSE MY AFRICAN.

As an African girl who lives abroad, I have had a lot of experiences that made me realize that life is not what it seems. I actually thought that it would be easy for me to introduce myself as an African and it will be understood and accepted. Little did I know that to the foreigners, there is only one type of African and unfortunately, I am not that.

TO PROTECT AND SERVE

I was watching an episode of my favorite television series LAW AND ORDER (SVU) one evening and it took my mind to a million places. The episode was about a mentally unstable man who decided to start killing cops. Some police officers watched their partners get shot in the head right in front of their eyes and couldn't do anything about it. They couldn't even find the shooter, which made some of them decide to quit. According to one of them "I would rather be a coward on the beach in Florida than become a dead cop".
The part that really struck me was the speech given to the officers in their precinct by their lieutenant, telling them that even though many people hate cops, and want them dead, they should never forget that their job is to protect and serve these same people. The speech ended with "please try and come back alive".

My Heart Breaks For This Generation

I have come to realize that there is no more innocence in the world.

I know some people will read that line and roll their eyes saying "Here we go again", but for the sake of this generation, we have to keep saying it.

The vulgarity, violence and sex that our children are exposed to has become simply ridiculous. Have you tried watching a movie with your kids recently? Even the so called ‘family movies’ still have some sort of hidden sexual connotations, and this generation of kids are smarter than we think so don’t sit there thinking “they don’t know what that means”.
Now, don’t even get me started with ‘Kids TV stations and music’ these days! They have lost their innocence, all of a sudden its acceptable to show kids shows making out?

I found an old episode of my diaries (Stella Damasus Diaries) on YouTube and I have decided to share it with you because I am hoping that it will inspire someone to start filtering what their kids are exposed to and take them back to a time were music, movies and TV shows for kids were more innocent.

ARE YOU TIRED OF CRAP?

I am one of those who have complained over the years about the lack of good, clean and high quality entertainment for our children.
As shocking as it may seem I had to get my children off some "SO CALLED KIDS CARTOON AND ENTERTAINMENT CHANNELS". The violence that I see in some of these cartoons is gradually becoming more morbid than that on normal channels.
