Do your part
She deserves a good life a decent one all of do. No one deserves this kind of treatment
🚨I WILL NOT FORGIVE ANYONE WHO IGNORES THIS
I will not explain at length. Yesterday I lost the last remaining member of my family in northern Gaza. It broke my heart to see them collecting the little girl's body parts. I couldn't imagine the pain that happened to them. Click. I cannot forget what happened to my family months ago when our house was bombed and a massacre was committed against my family. Click. Lolo's father was killed so that she would become a lone survivor and an orphan. All I can say is there is no time. Please, can you save what's left of my family.

Today I was given a compliment while being berated:
"You are being too direct!" (for a girl)
Growing up a woman often means you are taught to always be quiet and speak only when spoken to. That you should not raise your voice, speak with emotion, or cause a commotion. If you do then you are seen as crazy, hysteric. So, being told that I am too direct made me feel proud of myself for being able to piss off adult men by just saying what I mean amd not tripping around my words to feed their ego.
Spread awareness!!!

Unleashing the Power of Your Voice: Standing up for Yourself and Others
Shaina Tranquilino
October 21, 2023
Throughout history, individuals who have used their voices to stand up for themselves and others have played a pivotal role in shaping societies. From civil rights activists like Martin Luther King Jr. to Malala Yousafzai advocating for girls' education, these courageous individuals remind us of the immense power that lies within our own voices. Speaking up is not always easy; it requires courage, resilience, and determination. However, in this blog post, we will explore why using your own voice to stand up for yourself and others is crucial and how it can create positive change.
Advocating for Yourself:
Speaking up for oneself is an empowering act that allows individuals to assert their needs, boundaries, and beliefs confidently. When you use your voice to advocate for yourself, you establish healthy relationships built on mutual respect and understanding. Moreover, expressing your thoughts and opinions openly fosters personal growth by challenging self-doubt and building confidence.
Empowering Others:
Using your voice to speak up on behalf of others who may be marginalized or oppressed is an act of solidarity that holds immeasurable value. By amplifying unheard voices, we help create a more inclusive society where every individual's experiences are acknowledged and respected. A powerful example is the #MeToo movement, which empowered survivors of sexual assault to break their silence while shedding light on the pervasiveness of such issues.
Catalyst for Change:
History has proven time and again that when people unite behind a common cause with a collective voice, they become unstoppable forces for change. It was the resolute voices of suffragettes that won women the right to vote in many countries worldwide. Similarly, civil rights leaders fought against racial segregation through peaceful protests and speeches that ultimately led to significant legal reforms.
Inspiring Others:
When you find the courage to speak up and share your experiences, you inspire others to do the same. Your voice can become a catalyst for change in someone else's life, encouraging them to confront their own challenges and advocate for themselves or stand up against injustice. By using your voice authentically and fearlessly, you create a ripple effect that spreads empowerment throughout your community.
Overcoming Challenges:
Speaking up is not always easy; it often comes with risks and hurdles. However, by embracing discomfort, we grow stronger and more resilient. When faced with adversity or opposition, remember that every great movement encountered resistance before achieving success. Use these challenges as opportunities to refine your message, learn from differing perspectives, and build bridges of understanding.
The power of using your own voice cannot be understated. Whether standing up for yourself or advocating for others, speaking out has the potential to transform lives and shape societies. It may feel daunting at times, but remember that even small acts of courage can have profound impacts in creating positive change. So let us embrace our voices, unleashing their power to uplift ourselves and those around us. Together, we can make a difference by speaking up, even when it is hard to do so.
