I-

I CANNOT FATHOM THE FACT that Kosi literally pushed the housegirl out of her home and had the audacity to claim that what the housegirl was saying was rubbish?? Obinze tried to explain to Kosi that the housegirl was only trying to protect herself because she was R*PED??? Yet kosi could only say “you feel sorry for her”?? NO SHIT HE FEELS SORRY FOR HER... How can some women sit back and not do something about a woman being taken advantage of? How can they not get angry or upset or try to help? Some women are so unbelievably selfish and disgusting its so awful. Her insecurities in her own relationship are no excuse for the way she just brushed past the fact that the housegirl told her about what she was forced to do in her old work and even called it rubbish. I’m so pissed oh my god. It is literally no ones fault but her own?? She should have some faith in the man she willingly married.. UGH WHY do girls instead of blaming the man they are with for cheating decide to attack the girl instead?? AND IN THIS CASE HER HUSBAND DIDNT EVEN DO ANYTHING AND SHE JUST IMMEDIATELY KICKED THE GIRL OUT FOR SAYING HER PAST EMPLOYER R*PED HER??????

Immigrants never win.

In ‘Americanah’ by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie she talks about how Ifemelu has decided to move back to her home country in Africa after living in America for 13 years. Ifemelu is hounded with questions about why she would want to go back by both Americans and Africans.

Adichie talks about the pressure of needing to please both sides of the spectrum but never being able to actually please both. You have to choose one or the other. Never both. When first leaving your home country your family is upset and doubtful about your success in another country. However, after being gone for a long time and wanting to go back to your home your family questions why you’d ever consider that. “Will you be able to cope?” Adichie states, this specific line got to me. Why do people think that just because you haven’t been home for awhile that all of a sudden you won’t be able to cope with being elsewhere? Is it that easy for people to just completely forget their roots?

Maybe, Ifemelu’s family wonders if she’ll be able to cope to being back in Nigeria because she been living in a country like America. Seeing as America and Nigeria are so different in so many aspects. However, Ifemelu grew up in Nigeria it is her home does her family have such little faith in her love for her own people and her own country? Do they have no faith in themselves? Do they consider themselves to be less than when put in context with America?

Women's wrestling is more than just a sport. It's high art. Every single day these women go out and put their bodies through hell. I admire them more and more as the days pass. Women's wrestling has inspired me to never give up and always believe in myself. These women go out there and break every single boundary that was set for us centuries ago. We are more than just our bodies and we are more than just pretty faces. We can do everything men can do, sometimes even better then they can. Women's wrestling is high art in every way possible.

This segment really moved me because Carmella (in white) hits many points that almost every woman go through and she talks about how Nikki (in red) can't succeed "without her boyfriend" or "without her looks" but I believe that this goes beyond just Nikki and to women as a whole. Granted Carmella is a woman as well and as much as this is a storyline Nikki's words aren't fake and instead are so inspirational. Nikki did it on her own and she paved her own road and she's trying to get her message across that women are not just pretty faces and bodies but that we can do things on our own as well Carmella was just the spark that started the fire. Women aren't objects and we don't need anyone to help us get through anything. That's the message women's wrestling makes and that is why it is high art.

Women’s wrestling as high art. This is one of MANY matches in the WWE women's division but I wanted to use it because it shows two amazing and inspirational wrestlers going out there and showing the world what they can truly do. The emotions shown after Sasha wins the championship just show how much wrestling genuinely means to them.

Women’s Wrestling

I believe that women’s wrestling is high art because these women inspire and influence younger fans on a daily basis. They put their bodies through hell day in and day out not just to entertain their fans but to hopefully inspire them just like they were inspired by the wrestlers before them.

Thursday Night SmackDown Nikki Bella vs. Paige

You don’t get this in a regular divas match. Every other diva only cares about there appearance when there in the ring but not tonight. These 3 girls stole the show.

Our female performers are world-class athletes, actors, public speakers, and philanthropists. They’re role models, inspiring and empowering women and girls to be confident and strong. They dedicate themselves to WWE, achieve great success and earn the same respect as their male counterparts.

Therefore, from this point forward, all of our performers – male and female – wil be known as ‘Superstars.’

Stephanie McMahon, Chief Brand Officer for WWE, on the decision to stop referring to WWE’s female performers as “Divas”. The WWE Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania last Sunday stole the show in front of 100,000 fans in Dallas’s AT&T Stadium.

What do you want from your education?

I'm gonna be honest. At this point in my life I just want to be able to get a job that pays a lot. And in order to do that I have to get an education to become an expert on something and be able to do it in a working environment to be able to get money for it. Of course it would be great to learn about how everything works in the real world. I just want to know what I'm doing and be able to get rewarded for that by something other than a letter.

The tribe of Arabs. 

I don’t have to be in Saudi Arabia or Qatif to feel like I belong, as soon as I’m with a bunch of Arabs I feel safe, happy, and comfortable as hell. Although Qatif is my home, and that’s where I REALLY feel comfortable because I’d be in my house, with my family, my friends since I was young, etc, my actual tribe is the tribe of Arabs-regardless of where we are. 

The joke above basically says:

From the mysteries of Arabs-

The guy will say to his mother: “You’re my love”

To his older sister: “You’re my mother”

To his lover: “You’re me”

The girl will say to her sister: “You’re my friend”

To her friend: “You’re my sister”

A group of people who clearly don’t know where God placed em

I thought this little joke thing really explains us well, because we say the dumbest stuff to be honest, and our jokes are so funny but mostly to Arabs because like our jokes always connect back to our culture and the way we do things and the way we speak and stuff like that. The ending of the joke relates to this sense of belonging topic that we keeping speaking of, because although we act and sound as if we are stupid and don’t know where God put us on this Earth or what our purpose in life is when we are with one another, at the end of the day that is where God placed us and that is where we belong and we can be confused and gleeful (6rb ayeee) together.

Cat’s Eye #2

“I want some friends, friends who will be girls. Girl friends. I know that these exist, having read about them in books, but I’ve never had any girl friends because I’ve never been in one place long enough”(30).

This stuck out to me because it reminded me of myself and how I grew up. When I was younger I was always with my guy cousins and they’re the only ones I ever got close with, and then I moved to the US and moved A LOT in the US too. It sucked and I just stopped investing myself in relationships because I knew I’d eventually move and none of them would ever amount to much.

I guess I like how it affected me now, it just really helped shape who I am, and I feel like that’s what Atwood is getting at in this story as Elaine expresses herself and reveals how her childhood kind of shaped her adulthood. It really makes me wonder how I’m going to be later on and if how often I moved affected me as much as I think it did.. I don’t know. I feel like I always blamed moving for a lot of things, but now I really love how it kind of gave me multiple opportunities to just start over from scratch.
