I'm Back- Long Time No Blog

Hey readers,

Great to see you all again. It has been quite some time since I last worked on this blog. Let me update you about what has happened over the 2 years since I last posted. Well, I got a new job working as a reading teacher at an awesome charter school after being let go from my other job after 3 years. I also got my black belt in Taekwondo. The last time you saw me I was a high yellow belt I believe.

But the world is the world. I have been at home like everyone else during this whole COVID pandemic and within that time I've learned how to juggle being an at-home / working mom. On top of all that I was also pregnant with my second child, who was recently born last moment. So the past couple of years has been totally up and down.

I hope to post more blogs since I will be home for a while. I think there are a lot of things to blog about this year. Hopefully, we can all find some time to sit and read some interesting information and develop our thoughts about them. Well thanks for reading and blog you later

Eventually your little bundle starts sleeping thought All of those demands and sleepless nights were something you thought you were prepared for, but when it finally came down to it you were totally wrong. Gone are helpful nurse's that would take your little one to the nursery when you wanted to take a nap. Gone are the extra...

RACISM AND "THE HEART OF DARKNESS"

Racism and "The Heart of Darkness" This essay was my own personal look at essays that explored racism in particular works and what accomplished authors had to say on the matter. Chinua Achebe’s essay “An Image if Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness”, was written about the apparent racist undertone of Joseph Conrad’s novel “Heart of Darkness”. The book takes us on a journey into the Congo’s and how Africans are described and treated in the time of European expansion and its thrust for ivory. Achebe’s attempts to explain to his readers why he thought the “Heart of Darkness” and its author were both racist. Achebe proves his point by quoting parts of the novel that emphasized color over everything and the language that the author uses to describe the African natives was racist and unnecessary. As an example Achebe uses is Conrad’s description of the African mistress in the novel and her European counterpart. “She was savage and superb, wild-eyed and magnific...
