Darell Philip Blog Promotion: KINYWA

Standard

Relatable Storyteller

When I came across a post by esteemed blogger Vincent Ehindero which encouraged bloggers to promote other bloggers on their site, I thought to myself, what a great idea! See Vincent’s post here for details: https://vincentehindero.wordpress.com/2020/06/19/important-announcement-❤%ef%b8%8f✅/
Vincent’s encouragement of us promoting younger aged bloggers as well as those who are new to the blogging community with a small amount of followers is something I endorse and am in agreement with.

If like me you love great story telling containing suspense and on edge of your seat cliff-hangers then look no further than KINYWA. The blogger behind the short stories on this new site is 21 year old Kenyan, Allen Mwema. Allen is a Communications undergraduate at the Multimedia University of Kenya which is located in the country’s capital of Nairobi. He is interested in telling social stories with a personal touch to resonate with people. He says: “Our everyday life and the predicaments of what we go through as we try to figure ourselves out feeds heavily into my writing. I like that we all go through the same things at different times and hence can relate.”

It is Allen’s hope in the near future to pursue screen writing and turn some of his written pieces into plays. He says: “My audience can look forward to experiencing feelings in an interactive way alongside the range of human emotions to be found within my stories.”

And if his introductory story – Technical Misdemeanor is anything to go by (check it out here: https://amshakinywa.wordpress.com/2020/06/11/technical-misdemeanor/) then we all will be in for a long-lasting treat!

Darell Philip Blog Promotion: COMING OF AGE for Men

Standard

When I came across a post by esteemed blogger Vincent Ehindero which encouraged bloggers to promote other bloggers on their site, I thought to myself, what a great idea! See Vincent’s post here for details: https://vincentehindero.wordpress.com/2020/06/19/important-announcement-❤%ef%b8%8f✅/
Vincent’s encouragement of us promoting younger aged bloggers as well as those who are new to the blogging community with a small amount of followers is something I endorse and am in agreement with.

With that said, I would like to introduce you to Michael Reynoso, the blogger behind COMING OF AGE for Men.
Rather than me saying what his inspirational blog is all about, read it from the man himself taken from his About section:

About

Coming Of Age For Men is a movement where all men can seek encouragement from my daily contents to help them become better sons, fathers, and husbands. There will be daily inspirational content to help you stay positive and encouraged. You will be inspired by my own story as I share with you my journey to becoming a man.

You are not alone.

God is with you.

Be a leader, not a follower.

Thank you, and stay blessed!

 

All that’s left for me to say is to head over to COMING OF AGE for Men where you will be inspired by uplifting spiritual writing, soul stirring videos and amazing podcasts which offer both readers and listeners practical tips, often drawn from personal experiences, on how to become better men.

MOTHERLAND

Standard

Today is Windrush Day! 72 years ago approximately 500 individuals from the Caribbean Islands travelled on board the SS Empire Windrush ship which docked at the Tilbury Docks in England on 22nd June 1948. They were invited by the British Government to assist in the rebuilding of the country after World War Two. They were told that they were coming to the “Motherland” – a place paved with streets of gold but upon arrival coldness in every sense of the word was felt whilst encountering signs in windows which told them “No Blacks, No Dogs and No Irish” were welcome. Yet inspite of such treatment they dug deep, worked hard and till today remain the ones you will see working in the essential front line services we often take for granted such as Bus Drivers, NHS Staff, Motor Mechanics and Support Staff in schools which play a huge part in keeping the country going. Below is a poem I have written in tribute to the Windrush Generation of which I proudly belong!

 MOTHERLAND


Plenty sun, sea and drum

Yes dog, yes Irish and Caucasian

Bodies ah move to Calypso beat

Sweat ah drip inna tropical heat 


Nah water or gas bill to pay

Politician ah lie dem still say

Coco, mango, sour sap, cane

Dew come after de latter rain


Sabbath or Sunday service ah bliss

Ah likkle prayer nah go amiss

Amen, Hallelujah de people say

To de preacher broken bread of day


Clear blue sky with cool fresh air

Smile pon faces everywhere

Island covered by sea and sand

Dis we call we Motherland

Darell Philip Blog Promotion: Get it Right! For Life.

Standard

When I came across a post by esteemed blogger Vincent Ehindero which encouraged bloggers to promote other bloggers on their site, I thought to myself, what a great idea! See Vincent’s post here for details: https://vincentehindero.wordpress.com/2020/06/19/important-announcement-❤%ef%b8%8f✅/
Vincent’s encouragement of us promoting younger aged bloggers as well as those who are new to the blogging community with a small amount of followers is something I endorse and am in agreement with. 

So with this in mind, the first blog I will be promoting here is by a young man from Zimbabwe. This young man is a first year medical student at the University of Zimbabwe which is located in the capital – Harare. In his own words he has “a passion to change the world and the lives of young adults not only by medical career but also through conscious writng, sharing tips and poetry.” He is on course to become a qualified medical doctor by the end of 2024 with the view to practice as an orthopaedic surgeon. Any visitor to or follower of his site – Get It Right! For Life – will be motivated, encouraged, life coached and mentally stimulated through the subjects he covers which work to offer practical advice to those wanting to live a life of purpose on purpose. His latest post which offers life skill coaching to students on the brink of adulthood is a prime example of what it means to live a purpose driven life – see post here: https://buyitrightforlife.wordpress.com/2020/06/21/five-reasons-why-you-should-find-a-hustle/

The talented young man behind Get It Right! For Life is Tanaka and it gives me great pleasure to promote his awesome blog which you can follow here: https://buyitrightforlife.wordpress.com
