Dare to Dream

February 4, 2018 Leave a Comment

What did you want to be when you were young? I wanted to work as a doctor for Doctors without Borders. I loved the idea that I could help people while living in a new country; learning the language and the culture. That dream didn’t happen and for a long time I was upset withRead More

Call Me When You Start Dreaming

July 10, 2016 Leave a Comment

What is your ultimate dream? What makes you stay up at night? What is that thing that keeps tugging at your spirit, calling you to grab it with both hands? What are you doing to achieve this dream? My mom claims I began reading newspapers in preschool. I would sit with the newspaper for hoursRead More

Pick Up Your Dream

May 10, 2016

There are days when giving up feels easier that striving for your dream. You grow tired, impatient and lose all will to live. For a few weeks now I have been contemplating giving up on my dream of writing. It all began when my application to Oxford University was declined. Hearing, or in this caseRead More

Forging Your Destiny

April 7, 2016

“Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.” ― Rabindranath Tagore The last few months have been very difficult. I read so many letters and emails containing “We regret toRead More

As #Namibia celebrates its #IndependenceDay may yo As #Namibia celebrates its #IndependenceDay may you be reminded that you are indeed free to be the authentic version of yourself. 

You are not bound by the thoughts and beliefs of others. Who you are matters. Don’t be afraid to occupy that space.

The word of this month is PASSION. Passion not f The word of this month is PASSION. 

Passion not for what’s around you, but for what’s within you.

How much time do you spend doing things you are passionate about? The things that bring your spirit joy and solidify your purpose?

Many of us grew up being taught that we have to serve others. But very little time was spent being taught that we, before anything, have to serve ourselves. It’s only when we are at our best that we can best help others. 

So this month, be a bit selfish. Spend time on things that light up your spirit; spend time on things you are passionate about.

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer… you have within you the strength, patience and passion to reach for the stars to change the world” - Harriet Tubman

This year I’ve decided to have a word for every This year I’ve decided to have a word for every month. This helps set the town of what I wish to accomplish during the month. 

The word this month is POWER.

Alice Walker once said “The most common way people give up power is by thinking they don’t have any”. I realised that I’ve been doing that for most of my life. 

I’ve always felt powerless because everyone seemed to have it all together. Everyone seemed to have the upper hand because they were smart, prettier, stronger…

But I’m starting to realise that there is power in being myself. Power in being a socially awkward extrovert that loves people in a very quiet and gentle manner. Power in wanting to help other become the best versions of themselves (ironic I know). Power in living a life that I love even if it’s not what is expected of me.

This is an example of how an eating disorder looks This is an example of how an eating disorder looks like on a black woman.

Black women suffer eating disorders at the same rate as white women, however, black women are less likely to be diagnosed.

This is due to a number of reasons. But the leading factor, in my opinion, is the stereotype of “strong black woman”. Society, of which doctors and psychiatrists are part of, look at black women as not needing any help or assistance. 

For as long as the world continues to push this narrative, many black women will fall between the cracks and fail to get the help they need.
