RAISING A CHILD WITH AUTISM CHANGED OUR LIVES FOREVER
“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” – Brad Meltzer. Autism & Acceptance Autism is a complex neurobehavioral condition that includes impairments in social interaction, developmental language and communication skills combined with rigid, repetitive behaviors. Because of the range of symptoms, this condition is now called Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Autism can look different in different people. There’s no single cause for it, and symptoms can be very mild or very severe.

‘HEEL THE WORLD’ – FRED DEEGBE LEADS THE MOVEMENT FOR AFRICAN ENTREPRENEURS
When Fred Deegbe walked out of a store in Ghana with a pair of shoes , I doubted he knew how important that day was in the course of altering his destiny and influencing the world of entrepreneurship. That pair of high-end Pierre Cardin shoes triggered curiosity in him. As he admired his new pair of shoes he wondered why craftsmen in Ghana could not have made them. This was the first question he asked a cobbler that he stumbled upon, to his shock and dismay; the shoe shine guy replied that it was “impossible”, that was not the reply that he was expecting – especially since Ghana’s craftsmen are…

MASTERING THE ART OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES- ANUARITE GIKONYO
I think that one of the most powerful aspects of writing is its ability to paint humanity. We humans, as social beings, are most engaged when we can relate to someone or something. I find that my most powerful stories come from those that carry aspects of truth. I find ways to communicate this shared truth in a way that makes understanding it simple. By playing on what is relatable, I am able to make what would usually seem like fundamental disagreements, easier to adjust and absorb. I desire for humans to be aptly remembered and for stories to encapsulate our lifestyle, beliefs and culture. This is what writing brings alive for me.…

GREAT TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR MONDAY TRULY MAGICAL
They say Monday rhymes with hate, disappointment, sadness, regrets, if”s, too late, exhausting, long, dreary, blues, tiring the list goes on and on. We grew up accepting that this day is meant to overwhelm and consume us. No wonder we often start out our working week, angry and frightened about what the future holds.

Challenges have now turned into pain rather discovery. This pattern is affecting our ways of working , causing undue stress and pressure for many. How can we transform the 1st…

The ability to transcend through challenges is ours through the power of the mind. Micheal Oluchi Mary is doing just that as a survivor of Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM). AVM is an abnormal…
