Who are Your Heroes? Part one of My Heroes: Erwin Mcmanus

March 6th, 2008

Part 6 of the 10 things I wish I knew before I left Africa

Today, I challenge you to examine why you think the way you think. Who is it that gave you your ideas, your thoughts and your feelings about the world you live in? Who are the teachers, not necessarily academic, who impacted you the most? I think when we know where our thoughts and ideas came from, that is power. We begin to see what draws us to our teachers and what draws us to ideas and certain feelings. With such knowledge, we gain better control of ourselves and ultimately better control of our environment. This of course gives us greater power to make a better world.

I don’t like to write short posts but respect must be shown when it’s due. We need to hear more stories, heck if no one else, I need to hear more stories like this. Stories like the ones below keep me going:

2) Magdalene Odundo

3) Julius Nyerere and the Arusha declaration

4) Whoever doesn’t think that South African vocalists aren’t the greatest vocalists in African history should be exiled. Need proof check out the African Mamas; listen to the sample tracks and tell me they don’t light you up.

Finally support a great African initiative that rose out of the Kenya post-election violence: Ushahidi. You can do so by visiting this post written by the White African

7 Barriers to Immigrant’s Success

February 29th, 2008

Hello, hello. I thought I would take a break from the writing for a couple of days and recharge my batteries a little bit. It would be an outrage for me to leave y’all high and dry and so I thought I would enlist the help of someone I met via this blog, Coach Caroline. Definitely one of the most interesting and passionate people I have spoken to in quite a while. Below she outlines some of the things that stand in the way of immigrants living the best lives possible. I hope it is of service to you. Leave comments below and I will get back to you as soon as I get back. Be blessed and bless others, Mwangi!

Money, money, money

Many of us already know how to do this.Many of us have already heard the principles needed to achieve success in a capitalist world recited over and over again. We have heard story after story after story about people who used these principles to climb to the capitalist mountaintop.
