My childhood – included my birthplace.

I was born and grew up -in the Dinka tribe norms and cultures that expect you to do and have the same value and behavior -this uniformity norm requirement prevents growth. 

Dinka Tribe (Jieng) values and culture and marriage laws

The norms allow immediate relatives to marry on your behalf even if you cannot independently. 

I was the last child of five boys. 

but three of my brothers and my parents are no longer with us because of the war 

Who was the idea for joining the school at the beginning of my education journey? 

What were -the challenges of joining the school? 

A war that forced me to leave my family behind 

In early 1985

Sudan’s Civil War

A war that affects lives and development

The conflict was a result of ignorance  

Awareness and knowledge create a necessity for change. And silence was no longer an option. 

When we learn facts -new light shines the way to change 

The lessons I have learned and experienced during my journey up to this time.

In School-at-work -from religions.

And the People I interact with 

My identity and its enemies  

Step into a new identity

A new chapter of my life began with one decision.  

In beginning

My father decided to send us away from the village, hoping we could have a future one day. And I have learned that good things come and go by choice or no choice. My story is worth sharing because it will benefit and encourage children and young adults who have lost their loved ones. It also will inspire many to reach their dream and see things differently -and overcome challenges -with hope and belief everything is possible if you keep trying. You will arrive at your desired destination. 

The Lessons I have learned

The Lesson I have learned as I move from city to city is that I was born black. The blackness behind skin Color is how you perceive all aspects of life. It embeds in human consciousness and is reflected in daily interaction with others. These biases only apply to my skin and past leftover dark images that shadow and trail us all over the earth. I have been in many classrooms, workplaces, and cities, but no different from celebrating. And the only you can help, treat, respect, and value you.
