Lady Breeze

Today I woke up healthy, in a cozy house, with food in my fridge, water running down the tap, electricity to power my gadgets, money in my pocket. I have a good job, loving friends and a supportive family. Like everybody else, I have been wishing for more that I took everything I have for granted. I only needed to look around for a moment and count my blessings just like I am looking out for more.  Nothing in life is permanent or guaranteed, so better enjoy what you have instead of wasting your life looking at what you don't.

Huda Sharawi organized a women's demonstrations in 1919. More than 500 women marched in the demonstrations across Egypt against the British occupation in their first appearance in the Egyptian political life. Two women were shot dead by the British.  نظمت هدى شعراوى اول مظاهرة نسائية ضد الاحتلال البريطانى عام 1919. اكثر من 500 سيدة اشتركت فى المظاهرات فى ارجاء البلاد و كان ذلك اول ظهور للسيدات فى الحياة السياسية المصرية. قتلت سيدتيتن فى المظاهرات برصاص قوات الاحتلال البريطانى.

“Whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighborhood of despair. Even when all doors remain closed, God will open up a new path only for you. Be thankful!”

''Thirst for knowledge and greed for explanations never lead to a thinking inquiry. Curiosity is always the concealed arrogance of a self-consciousness that banks on a self-invented ratio and its rationality. The will to know does not will to abide in hope before what is worthy of thought.'' - An Inquirer

''If you can imagine Western civilization as a large circle with a series of satellite circles intersecting the larger one but disconnected from each other, diversality will be the project that connects the diverse subaltern satellites appropriating and transforming Western global designs. Diversality can be imagined as a new medievalism, a pluricentric world built on the ruins of ancient, non-Western cultures and civilizations with the debris of Western civilization.'' - Walter Mignolo
