Life Lessons from Winnie Harlow

Hey there,

 So I was reading about this very popular model, Winnie Harlow. So before I read about her I asked around for who she was. I asked if maybe she had an accident or if it was make up or something. But actually she has a skin condition called vitiligo. 

As a child she had to change schools numerous times and eventually dropped out of high school because of several verbal harassment and bullying from other children who would normally call her a cow, zebra etc.

I bet at that time she never expected or saw herself as a model. Her self esteem must have dropped and crashed because she contemplated suicide at a point. You know models are known for having the best skin, best hair and obviously the best bodies but Winnie lacked the skin part. Now she is known to be "a successful model with Vitiligo ".

She is also a public speaker who posted a YouTube video titled "Vitiligo: a skin condition, not a life changer" . That is a very powerful and deep title because we have a lot to learn from Winnie. This is not a biography of Winnie but it's something to help make us learn from her.

When she was younger she was called a cow, zebra etc. This happens to a lot of us, because we are sometimes called names or made fun of because of some things we are born with or because of some things we do. But we should never let those things bring us down. Never ever. The funny thing is that those that used to call her names are nowhere to be found or might be successful but have not reached the level of fame or success that the "zebra" has gotten to.

You don't know the future, just imagine if she actually committed suicide, I would not be writing this in the first place, she would just have destroyed the future that God had planned for her. Things might not look good now , but trust me everything would get better and you never know what would happen in the future.

Always remember that you are beautiful just the way you are and never let the words of others bring you down but rather let it be what would drive you to success.

The Sick City

Emergency emergency emergency,

There is an emergency, 

At the emergency room of life,

A patient has been rushed into the ER,

He has been bruised and battered,

He has been eaten up by the cancer in him,

His inhabitants have eaten him up like worms,

He is in a serious condition,

He can hardly be recognized ,

for he used to be a flourishing man ,

A giant in the midst of his peers,

A rich and well influential 'man'

A man of such great intellect and promises,

But what happened to this man?

He, just like any man had flaws,

He was infected with a disease after a fateful night,

He was infected by his enemy with a disease,

It grew bigger by the years ,

And it spread around his body ,

That his antibodies were not enough to fight the spreading disease 

Which lead to the death of the antibodies 

A man of great intellects began to make stupid decisions 

An owner of many businesses and enterprises couldn't manage them anymore 

A man with great power and influence began to be looked down by his subordinate peers

He has become a man in despair and pain

For the tumor has grown to the limit of death

He need serious attention 

But sadly there is no one to help this man

Everyone stares at him as he is wheeled into the emergency room

With the disease still in him he is becoming more useless 

But the sad thing is that the man feels that he is fine 

But he doesn't know that he is a dead man walking 

Who would save this man?

Who would offer him assistance ?

And bandage his wounds and scars?

I would say that only God would help him

But let us see and hope that this man would become the great man that he is used to be.

And flourish like he used to

And be a prosperous 'man' that he used to be.
