SHOUT IT FROM THE MOUNTAINTOPS

We are owed trillions on trillions. People think we are asking for “new money” when in fact we are asking for “our money” back. It’s not “that money” or “the money” its OUR money.

“It was a long time ago get over it” Jim voice.. Cough, only 54 years ago for Kenya 🇰🇪, 55 years for Jamaica, 70 years ago for India, 50 years ago Aboriginal people weren’t counted as people, they were under the Flora and Fauna Act…

Not to mention the aboriginal stolen generation where children were literally taken from their families and given to white families to “assimilate” them and it’s still terrible the gap between white Australians and indigenous Australians.

Because we dont talk enough about this in the UK, especially not in schools. It is, at best, glossed over if mentioned at all.

I’m a British Asian and not a single bit of this is taught in the UK at any educational level.

DID U KNOW

While the whole world was condemning the Nazis for the Jewish concentration camps, at the very same time the British had their own concentration camps is Scotland ALSO FILLED SITH JEWISH PEOPLE.

I had never heard of this until the Behind the Bastards episode on the history of concentration camps. The British had a LOT of concentration camps over the years. A lot.

Anna Jarzab, All Unquiet Things

Over the years I have put a lot of my focus into one of my greatest passions - writing. I have written everything from poems to short stories to novels to scripts and after two years of putting some of my most cherished works together I can finally say I have reached my goal of publishing my first book.

This is purely dedicated to my daughter (as it states in the title) but it is not necessarily words of wisdom. It is words of pain and experience, of times where the world becomes almost too unfamiliar. I have pulled myself out of many ruts only to find myself in another, but through my stubbornness and hard work I have found myself in a place where I can finally be happy, thus leading to this release and, in another sense, the release of my past self.

This writing is from a time before the good. This writing is from a place I have known all too well. And I can only hope that if my daughter finds herself here one day, she will have an answer to all her problems because no doubt, there will be obstacles in her life and she will feel pain.

This is also for the women who find themselves abandoned - by love, by happiness, by a world they thought they knew, by fathers or mothers...women who have faced adversity, faced challenges in their lives, women who come together from experience and are still struggling to balance the meaning of womanhood.

I will always write for you, first and foremost. Because we are the cultivators of life, we are the strength and foundation. We thrive when the world forbids us from it.

So thank you to all of my strong, beautiful women who I am so lucky to call my friends, mothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, grandmothers, mentors, and so on. Thank you for being my inspiration.

I am a library of lovers. I keep them tucked away on dusty shelves marked by the years they once existed. Some are books of pressed flowers that I cannot find the courage to throw away, others are ink stains that I cannot scrub out.
