Meet my passion

You all know my stand on bullying and Xenophobia and for years I've been talking about it and been advocating on these topics that are very close to my heart.

I am working on a new project that I know you guys will love and will support all the way! Yes it is a secret for now but I reassure you that I won't disappoint!

What is Xenophobia? Well Xenophobia is a "dislike or prejudice towards people from other countries. The ‘phobia’ part is a bit problematic really, because Xenophobia isn’t actually a ‘fear’, it’s a societal or political problem."

" Racism often gets mixed in with Xenophobia and the two often come hand in hand, however, xenophobia usually refers to a persons nationality and culture rather than exclusively their race. "

Lately there has been a significant increase in Xenophobia. I remember being told , ‘go back to your own country’ and that phrase often gets thrown around a lot. If you’re on the receiving end of Xenophobic abuse, remember that the problem lies with that person, not with you.

Trust me! I know how it feels, because for years I've been dealing with it and still is. This is why I have decided to take a stand against xenophobia and bullying. My parents moved to the country that I now live in for reasons beyond my control and I am sure if I could speak back then maybe I'd ask to stay back home. There is not a law that forbids people from migrating to other countries as long as they do it legally but sometimes the discrimination that we foreigners face is beyond our control.

I am so happy to have been able to be a voice for the people from my country (If you don't remember where I am from please read my first blog) and I don't want to just limit it to just them but for other migrants.

I can not wait to launch my new project and I pray you stand with me as we fight this head on!

Stay tuned!

Love

SJ
