Her name is Bohlale Mphahlele from Limpopo and she's only 16 years old.She developed smart earrings for personal safety. Her earrings photograph an attacker and send alert to the authorities.Your thoughts?
💔 This picture has always gotten to me.
Most people know her as “The Dust Lady.”
But her name was Marcy Borders.
She was only 28 years old when the towers were attacked on September 11, 2001.
She was working inside the World Trade Center when everything happened. Somehow, she made it out.
And then this picture was taken.
Covered from head to toe in dust.
Terrified.
In shock.
Probably not even fully understanding what she had just survived.
The picture went around the world.
Everybody saw the dust.
But what they couldn't see was what Marcy carried with her after that day. 💔
She may have walked out of those towers alive…
but September 11 followed her home.
For years, she struggled with depression and addiction and with everything she had seen that morning.
She once described it like her soul had fallen with the towers.
That right there gets me.
Because we hear the word “survivor” and think they made it out, so they're okay.
But that's not always how surviving works.
Sometimes you make it out physically…
and part of you is still trapped there.
Then in 2014, Marcy was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
She believed it came from the toxic dust she breathed in that day.
She fought the cancer. She fought the medical bills. She reportedly even struggled at times to afford the medicine she needed.
And on August 24, 2015, Marcy Borders died.
She was just 42 years old.
42. 💔
She survived the towers falling.
But that day never really stopped taking from her.
So when you see this picture, don't just remember “The Dust Lady.”
Remember her name.
Marcy Borders.
She was a mother.
A daughter.
A real person underneath all that dust.
And she was one of so many people who survived September 11 only to carry that day with them for the rest of their lives.
The smoke cleared.
The cameras eventually went away.
The rest of the world moved forward.
But for people like Marcy, September 11 never really ended.
Rest in Peace, Marcy. 🕊️🇺🇸💔
**We all remember the picture.
Let's remember the woman in it, too.**
Keanu Reeves a fêté ses 62 ans le 2 septembre 2026.
Sandra Bullock, sa partenaire dans le film Speed, dit de lui :
« Son père l’a abandonné lorsqu’il avait trois ans, sa fille est morte à l’âge de huit mois, sa compagne est décédée dans un accident de voiture, son meilleur ami a succombé à une overdose… Et malgré tout cela, il n’a jamais perdu sa lumière, son monde ne s’est jamais effondré.
Lors du tournage de The Lake House, il a surpris une conversation entre deux assistants : une femme en pleurs expliquait qu’elle risquait de perdre sa maison si elle ne payait pas 20 000 dollars. Keanu a aussitôt transféré l’argent sur son compte.
Avec les gains de la trilogie Matrix, il a offert plusieurs millions de dollars à l’équipe des effets spéciaux, qu’il considérait comme les véritables héros du film.
Refusant de recourir aux cascadeurs sauf pour les scènes les plus dangereuses, il a remercié chacun de ces “héros” en leur offrant une moto Harley-Davidson.
Aujourd’hui encore, il se déplace en métro ou en bus quand c’est plus pratique, sans jamais éprouver de honte.
De nombreux hôpitaux affirment avoir reçu des dizaines de millions de dollars de sa part. Pour certains films, il a accepté de renoncer à 90 % de son salaire afin de permettre à la production d’embaucher d’autres acteurs.
En 1997, un paparazzi l’a surpris assis dans la rue à côté d’un sans-abri, partageant son petit-déjeuner et écoutant son histoire.
Tout ce que nous savons de Keanu Reeves, ce n’est pas lui qui nous l’a dit, mais les personnes qui ont bénéficié de son aide et de sa générosité. Il n’a jamais cherché à en parler.
Malgré toutes les épreuves qu’il a traversées, il aurait pu adopter une vision sombre et désespérée de la vie. Mais non : il a choisi de rester un homme bon, dans un monde qui ne l’est pas toujours. »
Plus qu’un acteur talentueux, Keanu Reeves est un véritable modèle d’humilité et de générosité ❤️🙏

I love how Word of mouth is CARRYING the J. Cole tour coverage.
The BIASED & COMPROMISED media have been SILENT on Cole selling out multiple arenas across the world 🌎
The stadium 🏟️ show will be EPIC as well
