When you know better but aren’t doing better First I must acknowledge, simply knowing and recognizing coping skills and behaviours within ourselves that no longer serve us and/or may be harmful to ourselves or the people around us, is the the most important step in this journey. You are at the planning stages. You are thinking about trying a different path. You may have even decided to take that different path but you end up on the old path. Don’t worry; someday you will take a step down that path. It may only be one step, at first. You may start down the old path, stop, run back and try the new path. All of this IS “doing better.” As we do in our children, we need to celebrate our small steps. We need to recognize that so much of the work is internal. Just knowing what to do differently does not stop you from old patterns. When it comes to parenting, many of these patterns are set in your own childhood. You may but even realize you have these patterns, until you become a parent. Often these patterns are also triggering for the parent, further fueling the emotional burden of parenting because when they see themselves doing exactly what they promised they would never do, their confidence and self-worth as a parent can simply plummet. Usually I realize I was overwhelmed in some way and validating my feelings of overwhelm, forgiving myself, giving myself grace and making a plan to meet some of those unmet needs, has transformed my perception of these moments where reaction was my initial response.

What's REALLY going on in NYC?

NYC is pushing a narrative of a dramatic increase in Violent Crime, w/ a focus on Shooting Incidents. I can relate 2 the frustration of Mayor Adams & Police Commissioner Sewell. No One wants 2 live in a War Zone, or see Police Officers- especially Young Officers & Rookies getting shot & killed on the Streets they patrol. That said, We really need 2 look @ the role Bail Reform plays in this 'Spike'.

I thought that Bail Reform was supposed 2 B offered 2 'Non Violent Offenders', but many of these Assaults & Shooting Incidents involve individuals (many just Teenagers) that were arrested on Violent Crime Charges & released on bail. What's going on? 'Crimes of Convenience' normally rise during Times of Recession, & COVID has many in Economic Distress. Letting Violent Offenders 'Out on Bail' only seems 2 B emboldening these individuals 2 escalate. What do they really have 2 fear? Is it a coincidence that this 'Spike' began around the Time of the Chauvin Trial?

People took 2 The Streets demanding Police Reform, but now We only hear that more resources need 2 B put into 'Street Crime Units'. I remember Eric Adams as the Spokesman 4 '100 Blacks In Law Enforcement' speaking out against Police Violence, so i'm willing 2 see what The Mayor & Police Commissioner have in mind. That said, i'm Clear Eyed about 2 'Black' Leaders sending Police into Black Communities, using (updated) Tactics that remind Me of 'Guiliani Time'.

Could resources dedicated 2 Mental Health Outreach & keeping Violent Offenders off The Streets B a better use of City Funds? Is this 'Spike in Violent Crime' a distraction created 2 shift the narrative away from the spotlight on a National Epidemic of Black Men being wantonly shot & killed by Police Officers? The whole thing reminds me of the Early 90's, when Joe Biden & Hillary Clinton pushed a narrative of the (Black Male) Super Predator. Where's the concern over the 'Spike' in Young White Males committing Mass Shootings? What about stopping the 'Steel Pipeline' arming them?

Digital new year’s resolutions for 2021

New year, new you. We look at how charity teams pivoted to digital in 2020 and the improvements they can take forward in 2021

with the rise in working from home, online and ‘zoom’ fatigue is very real. it’s more important than ever to find new ways to tell stories that energise, engage and stimulate us. mental health is an issue in and of itself during this pandemic, so us storytellers must find ways to connect with audiences that takes them away from staring passively at a screen. challenge accepted!

Photography by @delphinediallo 💙 AWAKE / We are here now to experience the most transformative time of the beginning of the century. Our virtual connection allow us to share unlimited knowledge, connection with the most diverse community worldwide. Our differences will start to blend in a conscious awakening of our common interest for changing our behaviors for the better....seeing the truth will involve dealing with a deep pain resurfacing our ancestors struggle, injustice based on race and culture. We can’t ignore anymore that if we had a chance to have a good education, we are creating our own reality and the feeling for a sense of responsibility is growing stronger to finally changing the narrative. The war is inside of us... liberation of our own fear and conditioning will help us to heal together. / SHIVA "The path of awareness" with Ajani 👑 @ajvni / body painting by @thevirginartiste . . #supportblackart #delphinediallo #ajvni #thevirginartiste #shiva #awake #awareness #blackart #photography #bodypainting #blackgirlmagic #liberation #changingthenarrative https://www.instagram.com/p/BvLC9krBncZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1586kxm4dft7u
