Black people are the biggest recyclers of plastic bags. So when you see a turtle choking, don't look at us. All of our plastic bags are in the cabinet under the sink 😭
Interesting how wars are named after the country attacked: Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Iran War... That's because if they were named after the attacker, it would be too confusing, since 80% of conflicts would be called the US war.
If you want to see who someone really is, hold them accountable, gently with love. Then watch. Avoidant ppl don’t hate confrontation, they hate reflection. They’ll twist, deflect, disappear. Emotional intelligence isn’t how deep they talk,it’s how they respond when they’re seen.
A man from the U.S. called Jaay Kizz was reported to have been expecting a baby with his girlfriend for 42 weeks, attending a baby shower and believing in a full-term pregnancy.
However, he discovered that the girlfriend had never been admitted to a hospital for labour or delivery, and there was no baby.
According to multiple online sources, she had prevented him from attending any medical check-ups and the hospital confirmed no record of the event.
The story went viral when he confronted the clinic believing he was about to meet his newborn son.
When Miriam Makeba eventually returned to South Africa after 31 years in exile she went straight from the airport to Nancefield Cemetery in Soweto: “I sat on my mother’s grave and cried.
I was like a baby sitting on my mother’s lap asking for forgiveness. I said: ‘Sorry, Mama. I was not able to see you when they took you to your final resting place. I am sorry I did not see you when you died. But now Mama I am here. I am home.”
She then tried to find the graves of her grandmother and her sister, but both cemeteries had been built over during apartheid.
