Telling the Mental Health Story

By Tanya Maswaure “The mental health of our children must be seen as every bit as important as their physical health.” Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, speaks extensively on children’s mental health and how parents must take precautions and pay attention to their children’s mental health. Although this conversation has become increasingly common for adults, children are often overlooked, especially in countries with fewer psychological resources. Hussinatu saw this gap and is acting toward fixing that gap. Amazons Watch Magazine spoke to 22-year-old Hussinatu Bah, a Sierra Leonian based in Kigali, Rwanda.

How To Leave A Toxic Relationship

“Philip was the sweetest man I had ever met. He was everything I wanted in a man. At last, I found my answered prayers, I thought. It was barely two months into our relationship that I realized I had made a mistake. Philip was a control freak. He wanted to know where I was at every second, he controlled my finance, monitored my life, and worst still, he hit me at any chance.” “I never thought this would happen to me. “Whenever I took up the courage to confront him, he would lock me up for days. He cut me off from my loved ones and friends. He finds fault with everybody else and why they were not good enough. “I am thankful that I left. It was not quite easy. But I ended the relationship, and I am glad I did,” explained Jovita, my neighbour.” Ideally, no one desires…

By- Aditi Maheshwari Nouran Gohar, a professional squash player, beat her Egyptian counterpart Nour El Sherbini who was forced to retire in the final of the Black Ball Open in Cairo.

Dear Mom… Letter from your Teen

By Tanya Maswaure

Being a mom includes several challenges, staying up late, changing diapers, and taking care of bruises: the primary communication is the baby crying throughout all of this. Communication should be much simpler when they grow up, but this is not always so easy. Teenagers are not always easy to understand because they are also trying to understand themselves, which can sometimes be challenging.

Using anonymous notes, we asked teenagers and some young adults to say what they would like their moms to know this mother’s day. Here are the few messages we received:

Comic Book Expounds Black Mothers as Women of Dialogue

By- Aditi Maheshwari Scheena Donia is playing multiple roles as an image coach, a communication consultant, a mother of four children, and a very active blogger on social media channels. She has now written a comic book. “C’est Maman qui commande” (It’s Mom who orders) has just been released in France and French-speaking African countries. Though she lives in Paris, she remains innate to her Gabonese roots. “I wanted to write this book so that children, like me Afro-descendants, or not, also see what their daily lives are like in a comic book. The idea of representation is essential. I also wanted to honour African mothers who are often caricatured when shown on TV, in boubou, always angry… and not necessarily in their diversity. I wanted to show that there is not only one way to be a mother and a black mother. We don’t all live in the country.…
