Her name is Bohlale Mphahlele. Not 16 year old girl. The headline should read :
Bohlale Mphahlele, at merely 16 years of age, has invented something to protect all women everywhere. She’s a legend.
Science is FINALLY starting to catch up:
- The quality of sperm affects women's health during pregnancy.
- The egg determines which sperm gets fertilized.
- Men can carry the bacteria that cause bacterial vaginosis (BV) and can transfer it to women.
- Men's sperm ages, and they are on a biological clock.
I empathize with all the women who were shamed and blamed for these issues when it was actually due to men!
I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing.
Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents.
"It's okay," I said. "Take it."
He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck.
I used to be a math tutor.
I walked over. "Quadratic equations?"
He nodded. "I don't get it."
I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling.
The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies.
The day after that, five kids came.
Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework."
Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere.
Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill.
"Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom."
I'm not closing the bakery.
I think I finally found my purpose.
It's not cookies. It's community.
LA protester goes viral for delivering impassioned plea to authorities at anti-ICE demonstration:
“You should be standing here with us! You’re on the wrong side of history. We know you got a job to do. But you took an oath to the Constitution, not the fascists in the White House!”
