Before Someone Defines You, Define Yourself

Most empowerment advice tells women what to do. This piece is about who to be. On the formation we inherit, the wholeness we forget, and the practices that bring us home.

Helen happily blocked MKP from the Premier role in KZN, now it's not fair if she's blocked? Pot, meet kettle.

She wanted the Ten Commandments in Texas schools. So James Talarico challenged and humiliated her in front of everybody. Her name is Rep. Candy Noble. And she lost on the same night James Talarico won his Senate race.

To stop this Coalition Chaos for the next 5 years, SA urgently needs legislation regulating coalitions! For example, the biggest party should get the mayoralty in Local Elections & the number & timing of Motions of No Confidence needs to be strictly regulated!!

What is El Niño? El Niño happens when parts of the Pacific Ocean become unusually warm, often contributing to hotter and drier conditions in Southern Africa. As dangerous heatwave conditions approach, the public is urged to take precautions and stay protected. Follow the heat safety tips provided on the poster and take steps to beat the heat. #GovZAUpdates #ElNiño #StaySafe

Sorry but I’m absolutely not doing 30 designs for free for any brand so I can maybe get the job. Everyone needs to get a grip and start paying up like normal business practices!

The Actors talk about navigating a film set as a man in our time. About money & a touch on their personal journies- the limits as far as their growth is concerned. We laughed & tackled as much as we could with the limit of time youtu.be/KXzCtdZBGVA?si=wx-2…

I was speaking to a French researcher yesterday who is here to wrap up his PhD on our democracy. Apparently the ANC had setup a policy in the 90’s foreseeing the mass unemployment we’re currently experiencing today and nobody did anything to act on that document

I will never forgive ANC for what they did to the South African Post Office.

I'm learning that we are painfully unaware of what's actually happening in our municipalities. This morning we had a power outage and in the whatsapp group, they were blaming the ANC. I'm like, they haven't been in power since 2016, my guy...

Was getting off Rosebank station (Gautrain) and the 2 men in front of me were reminiscing about how Israel trained them (they were in the army) during apartheid. 😃

You could be in the same grocery line as a former guard who tortured people held in detention or who shot at children in 1976
