The secret behind being a journalist on the move

Hi dear readers!

Today I want to share with you the secret behind the journalist on the move in the eyes of those who don’t understand my move. Well by now most of you may know already that Journalism is my life and everything I do that has to do with informing which I do, with so much pleasure.

In 2016 I left my family and friends in a country I call home (Namibia) and came back home (Angola) to learn amongst the best of journalists. Ever since I came here, life hasn’t been a sea of roses, communicating in Portuguese was very difficult because I grew up speaking English, but that didn’t stop me from talking. So many doors were closed, but I didn’t give up. Many were the times I was criticized because of a move I made, but that didn’t stop me from moving further. I was discouraged and misquoted so many times but that didn’t stop me from moving and continue doing what I like doing.

Be brave enough to accept criticism and welcome them and strong enough to never give up/ not ignore them and make them useful. I may not be known across the globe, but the desire to never give up will earn me a place one day. In whatever I do, I never give up and that’s my secret

  Shine in Faith this year “This will be your best year ever if it's your best year Spiritually,” by Pastor Mike Todd. When I came across the statement above, I stood still for a moment, and a silence I couldn’t explain arose within me for a while. After that, I started reflecting on how things come together effortlessly when we first seek the kingdom of God, and yet we do exactly the opposite. I knew it was no coincidence that a statement like that had to pop up in my news feed; it was a message to remind me that things would only happen if I put God first in everything I do. With that said, I sincerely hope this truth sinks within your soul and allow God to be at the center of everything you planned for this year. Make this your best year with God, and hold on to your faith tightly, no matter your circumstances.

      Welcome to ShineSis! 😍 Who are we? As a woman, I strongly believe that when you celebrate another woman’s gain, you give God space to also pour into your life, because it’s a clear indicator that He can trust in you with another woman’s joy while you are waiting for your time to come. But unfortunately, with the modern society we live in, as women we have grown cold towards the success of the sis next in line, to an extent where it's capable of taking our sleep away. In response to such a cold ice and useless reality many women choose to live in, an insight from God gave me a vision to think differently and build a space for women to flourish together. Hence, ShineSis! Hood was born! I’m talking about a project that aims to lift each other up as women and grow together in faith, through breaking chains of belief that lifting another woman up will downgrade you. Here, our main aim is to create a network of women who will love, support and encourage one another in ev...

Let’s talk about friends for a moment!

  They say show me your friend s and I will tell you who you are , right? That statement may be so true, due to the way we show up and take up space. So, with that said, what type of friends are you keeping in your life? Do they stick around on your worse and broke days? Or are they just friends when all is well? Those were some of the questions I had to ask myself to get to that one person that I highly consider as a true friend. Friends play a very important role in our lives , but you will never know who is that friend playing the important role in your life, u ntil you speak certain things from the depth of your being to the ir hearing, for you to know who is for you as a real friend. Do not be afraid to lose friends, if they don’t move, add value to your life  or drain your energy to level zero. Come on baby, it’s time for you to clear up your friendship closet. Your time here on earth is way too valuable to be waisted by friends with no purpose. Get yourself...
