Greed can never be quenched.

“Whether you have a Maruti or a BMW, The road remains the same. Whether you travel economy class or business, Your destination doesn’t change. Whether you have a Titan or a Rolex, the time is the same. There is nothing wrong in dreaming a Luxurious life. What needs to be taken care of is Not let the NEED become GREED. Because needs can always be met….but greed can never be fulfilled.”-

Say no to Xenophobia

Following the spread of xenophobia attacks in South Africa this week, it is disgusting to witness what is becoming of the world. For those of you who don't know what Xenophobia is, It is the dislike of people from different countries residing in one's country.
It has grown wildly in South Africa as they claim foreigners are snatching their jobs. .and there is no food. ..and there is no water....blah blah blah! ...
Zimbabweans are mainly targeted, among others. In one occasion, a man was burnt to death as onlookers watched while others even chanting and laughing.
Now, the saddest bit is the killing of the children. I looked at this photo below and nearly teared up. The kid is not even above 5years old, but is being targeted. In most cases, we look at these stories in the news and we sympathize and move on with our lives. Some people even have a preconceived idea that that's just Africa. It is already sad that we have racism to deal with, but the wound is much more painful when hate comes from the same kind.
I wrote this in order to bring awareness to you, spread the message and let us put a stop to this sick curse. Africa is for Africans #saynotoxenophobia.

Chronicles of a dark skinned girl

While waiting for my Internet problem to be fixed, a gentleman beside me tries to engage in small talk with me and automatically goes on to do this in kinyarwanda. Now he goes on for some good five minutes as I smile politely before letting him know am not Rwandese to which he argued saying I look Rwandese. Keep in mind that is supposed to be a compliment.
It then reminded me of the beautiful baganda women who are told, "Ur so beautiful! " & reply saying, 'Munange, Mama wange aina mu aka' banyarwanda!' meaning "My mum has Rwandese blood"
Which further got me thinking, "Why is to hard to embrace black & I mean Dark skinned beauty? " why do we always have to justify the ethnicity when this happens?
The worst kind of compliment is your beautiful for a dark skinned person.
We sneer down at people who bleach but aren't we the one bringing out that low self esteem.
Women like Lupita Nyongo shine in their dark skinned beauty. Why must I change my origin to be deemed as beautiful. And to the women who bleach,  let no one lie to you, that bleach will only take time to begin burning your skin and ruining your ego. And bleached skin doesn't mean you look rich, get that conservative & ignorant idea out of your heads people!! Always remember its ur self esteem that needs help,  not your skin. Go talk to someone.
