Stand for something that is bigger than you.

    Today my spirit is a little angry so bear with me. For those who don't know, there is civil unrest and turmoil going on right now in English Cameroon. Fighting to abolish marginalization of Anglophone Cameroon. Its very painful to watch kids being teargassed men and women being beaten in the streets because they are standing for what they believe in.
For those of us out of Cameroon in the diaspora, we forget how blessed we are sometimes. We live in a country where we can seat in a room and empower each other, but yet we take it for granted. We live in a country where a woman can run for president and we don't know how darn blessed we are. We are given all the tools to be the best we can be. We are not here by chance, so please whatever you have chosen to do in this time, your job, purpose, career etc do it like you have never before because it's a blessing. Take the rest of the day and ask yourself what you did to not be in the streets of Cameroon right now being teargassed, kicked around and tortured? Are you anymore special than the ladies in the streets being beaten, mothers who can't sleep for fear of their children out of the home? Are you not Cameroonian or of Cameroonian decent? Take this time to reflect on what you can do to make sure that your walk in this LIFE is touching and affecting someone else and not just you.

   Your purpose has got to be bigger than you. As a mother what are you doing to change and impact your community? Who are you giving back to? Who is better today because of your generousity? You have been given all that you need to stand out and be a blessing to SOMEONE ELSE. It starts with YOU.

  Mamipikintalks is my effort to break the silence in our communities. Don't be on the sidelines. Stand for something that is bigger than you.

Happy Monday.
