No electricity - "generator wan tear my ear", no security, you watch helpless as decisions taken by those in power take you in a race against time to damnation, you're caught fast in the grip of a never ending recession, human trafficking and slavery on the rise, fuel scarcity, people watch murder, bestialisme and torture on their phones for amusement, animals going extinct by the minute, crazy daily Trumpisms creating an era of fear and hatred, it goes on and on and on. It feels like a huge weight on your shoulders, getting heavier by the minute.
Sometimes it's just too much!!
African women are a beauty of creation. Luscious, beautiful intelligent hard working melanin goddesses that age like fine wine, becoming even more beautiful with the passage of time. Yes they are extremely desirable, but they are Not 4 Sale. They are to be loved, cherished and worshipped.

It seems like a story from the 17th century, but it is one of many in the 21st century. The profits are huge, the scale of the trade is vast. Economic migration and the search for a better life are the catalysts for this trade. The really frightening effects of this trade are yet to come. Welcome to the frightening world of 21st century human trafficking - the modern slave trade.
If this trade is not stamped out - the scale will increase as the profits grow kidnappings and abductions will be used to fill the gaps when voluntary victims or custom orders are made to slavers. The victims physically and emotionally scarred for life will me our wives husbands, neighbors and those of our children. The value of human life and the sense of humanity will be rubbed out in a generation of people growing up without human empathy. The fall-out will be devastating. This is a planet-wide scourge and it much be purged immediately.
Our women are beautiful, doe-eyed and sultry, but they are
Not 4 Sale
Our women are beautiful flowers, the lights of our lives. They are to be adored, cherished and protected. Across the world, as many as 30 million people are currently being held in bondage, moved from location to location as victims in the lucrative global human trafficking trade.
Convinced by people (family members, pastors, lovers, friends) they trust, young women, the life blood of our nations, mothers of future generations are lured by promises of good jobs and a better life only to be sold into sex slavery or worse used in the body spare-part trade and killed.
Horror stories of women forced to service as many as 30 clients a day on pain of brutal assault or worse, abound in the press. Others have been indoctrinated into thinking that sex work of this nature is the only way to provide for those back home. A whole generation of the flowers of our nations destroyed physically and emotionally. It is frightening and tragic. These are the tales of the survivors, so imagine the countless others who were not so lucky.
We cannot let such terrible things happen. Do whatever you can to help stop this horrible practice. It is your duty as a human being. The next victim may be someone you know and love.
Our women are Desirable, thoughtful, but Not 4 Sale

This horror is happening now, in our time, right before our very eyes to our sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers in Nigeria and in many cases people are willingly taking, no willingly paying for their trip to death and destruction. It has existed for a long time but the scale of the problem is now spiraling out of control. We are loosing our people daily to this tragedy. Even if some of these people survive the horrors, the emotional damage will be irreparable and will cascade to the next generation. The fallout of this problems are mammoth in proportion and terrible in implication.
We must work tirelessly to STOP the scourge of human trafficking and the modern slave trade. Our lives and futures depend on it.
It's tragic and unbelievable to think that slavery is a thriving and extremely profitable trade in the 21st century. This trade has to stop.
People are beautiful, but Not 4 Sale
Movement can be violent, manic, energetic or it can be calm, quiet, dignified and serene. Movement happens in the mind, you feels its power in your moments of stress or agitation or in moments of calm and contemplation. I love to explore mind-motion in all its magnificence.
This is the essence of la sérénité.
