Is what happened to George Floyd just an American Is what happened to George Floyd just an American problem? @hijabiglobetrotter got me thinking... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a visible minority living abroad now for over two decades, it’s all too easy to point to the inflamed events across the pond and say, “That would never happen here”. Racism is tolerated globally and a lot closer to home than many of us think. Some of the most cutting bigotry I’ve experienced personally happened when I was living in France, here in England and big time in Canada, “my home and native land” and NOT just by strangers. I would never condone violence but those who are quick to condemn the rioting and looting have purposely pulled their face masks over their eyes to avoid seeing the real problem - that these acts stem from overwhelming desperation of feeling like you are never heard – only seen and only by the colour of your skin. We as humanity caused this by sitting back time and again and simply shaking our heads in disapproval. Our silence is not enough.  It’s complacency. And therefore...complicit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #georgefloyd #enough #racism #bigotry #prejudice #findyourvoice ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I don’t believe in coincidence. I’m working on I don’t believe in coincidence. I’m working on some new professional projects and this was the first thing that came up in my feed today- a beacon of light that I didn’t even know I needed. I also received a very heartfelt note from one of my yoga teachers (@candido.n.lopez) who, very non-coincidentally, shared his own beautiful perspective: In times of deep anxiety, uncertainty and inertia choose courage, choose action, choose kindness. Will do...
Just had a flashback to my mindset pre-lockdown. I Just had a flashback to my mindset pre-lockdown. I imagined social isolation would mean that I would have all this “spare time just for me”. So I downloaded new piano pieces to tackle, mentally sketched out my next painting and even bought a few fiction novels. So as I clean up the kitchen *before* I start making dinner, I think about those lofty intentions and I just laugh and laugh and laugh... #theroadtohell... #covidcreativity #desperatehousewife
Haven’t written an essay in ages, I know. I star Haven’t written an essay in ages, I know. I started this piece a few weeks ago on the silver lining of the corona virus but got overwhelmed by the intensity of it all. Nonetheless, it was an important piece for me to write- if only to get myself back out there. It’s a slightly different take on unity, communication and empathy. Here’s an excerpt: Not only nature was in dire need of a re-boot. We were treating each other with abandon. We’d come to accept the daily antics of our global leaders and “Cult of the Ego” as political norm. We watched media pundits skewer others publicly and we egged them on. Or worse, we thought nothing of doing it ourselves — eviscerating each other senselessly for daring to go beyond the boundaries of our own versions of acceptable. Hugely grateful to those of you (all 6 of you) who take the time to read it.
