No need to add to the video below, sometimes spoken words are needed more than written ones. Just know that the moral of this post is simple: fighting hatred with hatred is counterproductive, fighting fire with fire only ends up with two burn victims. Instead of protesting and marching, extend a hand of friendship and be love instead. If you agree with the message of the video below, use social media and spread the word using #IntentionalLove
Teodrose Fikremariam
Founder at Ghion Journal
Teodrose Fikre is the co-founder and editor of the Ghion Journal. A published author and prolific writer, a once defense consultant was profoundly changed by a two year journey of hardship and struggle. Going from a life of upper-middle class privilege to a time spent with the huddled masses taught Teodrose a valuable lesson in the essence of togetherness and the need to speak against injustice.
Originally from Ethiopia with roots to Atse Tewodros II, Teodrose is a former community organizer whose writing was incorporated into Barack Obama's South Carolina primary victory speech in 2008. He pivoted away from politics and decided to stand for collective justice after experiencing the reality of the forgotten masses. His writing defies conventional wisdom and challenges readers to look outside the constraints of labels and ideologies that serve to splinter the people. Teodrose uses his pen to give a voice to the voiceless and to speak truth to power.
