Waris Dirie

So I'm watching Desert Flower and the story that is being told couldn't be any more amazing.

Yes, it is true. We ALL have a story. Yes, yes, yes, we do. From genital mutilation to forced marriage to maid, a model and then becoming an Activist, Waris Dirie always aimed to be something greater, to change her life first so that she could then help others.


No matter what the obstacles are that we face, we are strong. 

We are strong in spite of our imperfections, our weaknesses, our downfalls. 

Nothing can stop you from achieving greatness.

So I'm working on something exciting! Years ago I started writing my own magazine. However, with all of life's distractions I put my magazine to the side.

Just Smile!

There are days when it seems like everything is trying to test your patience and your willpower.  Just smile!  Nothing can ease the soul than to smile.

It is in this episode that you get to hear the stories of those who have misjudged based on their appearance. It's so important to remember that whenever you cross paths with anyone, they have a story to tell. Whether that story fits their physical description, acknowledge the fact that you can't decide what someone else's story will be. I support the No Body Shaming Campaign. We are real. We are human. This means that even with the imperfections we are still intelligent. Take the time to understand someone's story if they are willing to tell it. Don't be so quick to associate a physical appearance with a misconstrued life story. The whispers, the pointing, the stares, they all mean something. Even when you think it might be subtle, it is noticed. So yes, maybe in...
