Let's not be bully- or jellyfish parents, but rather a balanced parent who provides boundaries in kind ways.💗

I know my parents don't push me towards security because they don't love me. I know they love me, they have always pushed me towards security because they've been through war, famine and poverty. The idea of doing something that you love, is incredibly foreign to my parents. They didn't get to do what they loved, they had to do what they could to stay alive. It's taken so many conversations with my parents to help them truly understand that we no longer live in such a dangerous place. After years of connecting, talking and listening - I was able to open my mum and dad's way of thinking. About 4 years ago my dad comes up to me and said something that truly moved me... He said.. "Son, thanks for not giving up on your dreams and thanks for not giving up on us. Thank you for being patient and helping your mother and I understand this new world." The relationship we have with our parents is one of the most special relationships. Don't give up on them, just because they don't immediately support you in your dreams - take the time to talk with them, explain to them, listen to them and be patient with them.

The U.S. and Congo’s so-called “critical minerals partnership” reeks of neocolonial exploitation, especially with Erik Prince—a mercenary linked to Blackwater’s war crimes—lurking in the deal. After massacring Iraqis under U.S. contracts, Prince now eyes Africa’s wealth under the guise of “tax reform” and “anti-smuggling.” Congo’s minerals, not its people, drive this arrangement. The audacity of trading security (read: Western-controlled mercenaries) for resources mirrors the extractive violence of colonialism. Africa doesn’t need Trump-pardoned warlords “advising” on governance—it needs sovereignty. If Congo’s government values its people, it must reject any deal that mortgages the nation’s future to foreign profiteers. The U.S.-Congo “minerals partnership” reeks of a classic imperialist action-reaction-solution scheme. First, Western-backed militants like M23 destabilize the region (action). Then, chaos justifies “security” deals with mercenaries like Erik Prince—a war criminal pardoned by Trump (reaction). Finally, Africa’s resources are locked under foreign control (solution). This is how colonialism works in the 21st century: 🔻 Fund proxy wars to weaken sovereign states 🔻 Blame “African corruption” for the violence you created 🔻 Send predatory contractors to “secure” mines, not people Congo’s minerals should empower Congolese people, not enrich the West. #drc #congo #congokinshasa #problack #blackunity #panafrican #panafricanism #blacklove #panafricanist #colonization #neocolonialism #colonialism #exploitation #ibrahimtraore #ibrahimtraoré??
