A Journey from Diplomacy to Politics Growing up in New York during President Kennedy's tenure was a unique experience, especially as the child of the first African Undersecretary General of the United Nations. From an early age, I was surrounded by powerful and influential figures, leaders from around the globe. This upbringing provided me with a perspective that few are privileged to have. Throughout my life, I have met and befriended many educated and competent individuals. However, I find it troubling that Kamala Harris often appears unprepared without a script. Despite my reservations, I support her bid for the presidency because the alternative, Donald Trump and his associates, would be disastrous for both the US and the world. It's disheartening that America, a country rich in talent, is left with two candidates who seem unqualified for such a crucial role. Voting for someone based solely on skin color is not only unpatriotic but also perpetuates ignorance. Many in the Black community support Harris simply because she shares their racial background, ignoring the substantive issues. Harris, like Obama, has a heritage disconnected from American slavery. Her ancestors were slave owners in Jamaica, and Obama's father was Kenyan. This selective elevation by power brokers raises questions about true representation. Will these same power brokers ever place a dark-skinned descendant of American slaves in the Oval Office? Historically, powerful African Americans like Dr. King and Malcolm X faced assassination rather than elevation to such high office. This reality underscores the complexities and challenges of race and politics in America. #Politics #Leadership #Diplomacy #USPresidency #KamalaHarris #DonaldTrump #RaceAndPolitics #AmericanHistory #AfricanAmericanCommunity #RepresentationMatters

Speaking for the average American last night she said: “We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth.” — Michelle Obama (August 20, 2024) This statement resonated in my soul. My parents lived through racial segregation in the United States, therefore I am the first generation in my family to have been a fully recognized citizen in my country for the entirety of their life. What does that mean? It means I’ve come through academic and professional environments where I was “the only” It means learning how to unapologetically be comfortable in your skin, culture and being whether you’re sitting with the janitor or the CEO It means having to work several jobs to pay for law school and to fund a studies abroad in #London 🇬🇧 & #Beijing 🇨🇳 that introduced me to #InternationalArbitration It means finding ways to turn perceived disadvantages into advantages. The fact is, #AffirmativeAction has always been a (poor) substitute for Reparations. If you want to succeed here are several principles: - Work hard, - Set BIG and BOLD goals, - Gather like-minded people with similar values, and - Don’t EVER let someone else define your identity or your path for you. The life you’ve always dreamed of begins today. Don’t wait for it, go get it! https://lnkd.in/e5P_QeNk #RiseTogether #Mindset #Motivation #Goals

AMAZON , Don’t destroy AMAZON Our forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Over the past few decades, we've witnessed the devastating impact of deforestation, with millions of acres of lush, vibrant ecosystems being cleared for various purposes. This alarming trend not only destroys the natural habitats of countless species but also contributes to climate change, soil erosion, and the disruption of vital water cycles. It's time we take action to protect and restore our precious forests and oceans and finally Earth before it's too late. NATO or other Organizations are also responsible for protecting our forests and oceans and all humanity with peace . They should respect to all thoughts without considering racism and finally developing to keep our planet Earth . We have no other place to live as alternative except Earth . Let’s young leaders control future of our planet. NATO and Organization are responsible to bring peace not to manufacturing war guns and tools . We are all in one ship . Please don’t make hole our ship .
Twenty years ago today, then-Senator Barack Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. The speech suddenly made him a national figure. Emphasizing themes of unity and hope, he presented a vision of America that transcended partisan divides. Last year, Barack Obama reflected on that moment with a group of our #ObamaScholars from University of Chicago and Columbia University. Get a glimpse into their conversation:

The Grand Facilitator - Connecting Ambition with Opportunity - Strategic architect of organizational growth, leveraging expertise in talent acquisition to shape high-performing teams.
On this day 246 years ago, the Second Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act stating: "Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." From Betsy Ross's legendary creation to the 50 stars on the flag today representing each state in our nation, Old Glory has become an enduring symbol of American ideals - liberty, democracy, and the never-ending pursuit of justice and equality for all. While the flag has gone through redesigns over the centuries as new states joined, its core meaning has remained constant - representing the indomitable American spirit of courage, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to freedom. On Flag Day, we honor the powerful ideals embedded in those stars and stripes. We celebrate the hard-fought journey of progress to continually push America to live up to its founding promise of liberty and justice for all. So fly your flags high today and every day. For the flag is a living symbol, calling on us all to protect and uphold the values that have illuminated America's path for nearly 250 years. #FlagDay #FlagDayUSA #OldGlory #AmericanFlag #Patriotism #Liberty #Democracy #Equality #Lee

Our Nation’s History is filled with the stories of brave men and women who gave everything they had to build America into the Greatest Nation in the History of the World. Generations of American Patriots have summoned the American Spirit of Strength, Determination, and Love of Country to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. The American People have proven time and again that we can overcome any obstacle and any force pitted against us. We offer to the American people the 2024 GOP Platform to Make America Great Again! It is a forward-looking Agenda that begins with the following twenty promises that we will accomplish very quickly when we win the White House and Republican Majorities in the House and Senate.

My point is that we need more independent candidates who tell the truth. The real question is why there aren’t more of them… It almost seems like there's a consensus to keep things as they are, which can make the world a worse place. It's also a tactic they use to divide the American people and foster conflict and hatred. For example, if I don’t want Obama to be president forever, it doesn’t mean I want Trump instead. I want someone else who isn’t corrupt, who is against the wars, but committed to peace and isn’t motivated by personal power. History shows that if one person remains in power for too long, it can erode freedom and unity, which are fundamental to America's values. I’ve also noticed that many talented people worldwide who usually avoid politics are starting to express their concerns. This often happens before something very bad occurs. This is why people need to unite, stop the hate, see clearly, and address these issues. #IndependentCandidates #TruthInPolitics #ChangeTheSystem #UnityNotDivision #StopTheHate #CommitToPeace #ProtectFreedom #HistoricalLessons #GlobalConcerns #UniteForChange
