My life is not a badge...

...Omonoba...
Our people say:
Yoruba: Kí ni eégún ńwò tí kò fi òwúrọ̀ jó?
Eng: What was the masquerader looking at that he did not take advantage of the morning to dance? - Yoruba Proverb.

Pele, my people. My majors are very demanding and I am busy with school work, Intl. Students, African Students Assoc., E-Centre, etc. Things are not getting any less busy, so bear with me. For instance:

One chilly morning last week, I left home to school looking like this:

By the end of the day, I was in another city with other Bioneers looking like this:

I was so inappropriately dressed but I'm glad I answered the call. This community was very disheartening. There is a project at hand, GrowHaus, to provide healthy food for this low-income community sitting right in the middle of the industrial area of Commerce City, CO. Almost a hundred percent of residents are of minority standing and live there not because they want to but because they have to. They DO NOT HAVE A GROCERY STORE within at least THREE MILES. In the States, this means that they have to rely on convenience stores (7-11, etc) and extremely "fast food" (McDonald's, etc). Not good. GrowHaus is providing employment, creativity, food, sales, etc for this community. 

My life is not a badge, it's a responsibility.

Have a blessed weekend,
