Law and medicine are professions that work within a public trust contract. When creating a brand, you must treat communication as a science and a discipline to avoid putting your profession into disrepute and ruining your credibility, together with that of your colleagues. 1/

The only person who gets to decide whether they should have a child or not is the person whose body and life is responsible for the decision. The political work is to ensure people can make those decisions in safe and sustainable communities and live them with dignity. 10/

You need public support to influence policy. Linguistic dehumanization, even when it is about bodily autonomy, robs you of the moral imagination on which that support depends. To fight for reproductive justice, you must lead with universal respect for human dignity. 9/

Teaching means forming people to listen to the heart, to inner freedom and the capacity for critical thinking. In this dynamic, faith and reason neither ignore nor oppose one another. They should both be traveling companions in the humble and sincere search for truth.

You will never find a more genuinely in touch with their roots person like an African with a foreign name, they can even speak their language with the proper accent, the ones without English names many times are the most Eurocentric people you will meet

I don’t know if it’s just me, but whenever I meet a fellow African with an English, European or Arabic name, I always ask, “what’s your real name?”

I see some of you with “radical feminist” in your bio regurgitating anti children talking points and it’s so sad cos feminism at its very core is about protecting children..being anti children is being anti women.. I can also tell that some of you align with radical feminism

I really love older therapists whose practices haven't been defined by the cultural zeigtist of the last decade. The Mental health conversation settled into a complaint loop when it evolved into commercialized pop culture. Now people get angry when someone talks about solutions.

No, you can't talk about your pain forever. Your got cheated on?You leave or you stay. Your relationship ended? We are not letting a breakup become your whole personality. While suppression is unhealthy, compulsive retelling isn't healthy either.Acceptance and pivoting is better.

I agree. When opening up became the IT thing, it turned into a brand building endeavour. So we are always talking and yet research shows people who repeatedly talked/thought about their negative experiences took longer to recover than those who found ways to redirect attention.

Therapy session hukuanga scam sana, they just milk your money. Real therapy is going outside to run, hit the gym and eat organic foods. Mtazidi kufinywa tu na system.
