Humanity
United in Preventing Violence Against Women and Girls
When women and girls participate in all aspects of life without the fear of violence, we unlock their ability to become catalysts for progress. Around the world, local communities work hand-in-hand with Peace Corps Volunteers to prevent gender-based violence. We do that by addressing the root causes of violence, empowering community members to tackle power imbalances and enhance their skills for sustainable behavior change.

Those interviews are always fun and I often give my own answers along with the celebrities. Some of them are quite witty and somewhat educational, I think, so I've decided to write them down.

The problem with being a nice person. Top Story - May 2024.
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.

Observations On An Ancient Childhood. Content Warning.
Introduction I do find it amusing and odd when certain things inspire me to write but I suppose that is just the way my mind works. This morning I went out to pick up my weekly deliverance of two pints of milk from McQueen's Dairies and that started me off for this story.

Bitter Soup: When Auntie Turned Mean
I was eight years old, and I clutched my spoon tightly. We were having lunch, and I was feeling more anxious than excited about our visit to Aunt Tara’s. I had hoped for warmth and a sense of safety. They were family, after all. Usually, I enjoyed visiting them, but on that day, she managed to turn the atmosphere sour, as if premeditated.
