Hellooo social media,⁣ ⁣ You've helped me get new friends, fundraise for a café, get keys to an amazing apartment and even got me laid once. Can you help me get a job?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Anyone reading this please let me know of any available jobs you think suits me. I've worked as a personal assistent and as care giver in retirement homes but mainly in organisations as a project leader and web editor (I'm good with Episerver). If I must brag I have a master in journalism and make the best homemade ravioli you'll ever taste. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I'm a quick learner, hard working but pretty laid back to be around. I don't mind getting my hands dirty although I am a bit bougie and like to keep my nails clean.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I'm good at planning and writing and also handling social media. I've led many projects, workshops and facilitated groups. I've also worked as a teacher and have been told that I'm good at making boring things exciting. As a person I'd say that I'm quite curious and stubborn (typical taurus) and I love art and culture and everything that makes life a bit more colorful. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ So lovely friends hit me up with anything that you think would fit me. Preferably in Stockholm and nearby cities...or Paris. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ PS. For the sake of being efficient you can also consider this as my official dating profile. After Cocolocorona I'm back again in the game so let it be known to all the single cuties ^^⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Love from an unemployed hot mess ⁣ ⁣ #heeeelp #bougiebutbroke

New blog post! www.blackbipolar.life . When I wrote this post the ATM:s in Kinshasa weren't working and grandma expressed being tired of life. Thankfully she is in a better spirit now and those ATM:s are working again (Imagine not having ANY money what so ever during this time!) I hope this text gives another perspective on what it means to be in confinement. . . . My intention isn't to shame anyone. We are all suffering but it's obvious that this virus shit is affecting the poor and low-income so much harder. And the way refugees and Blacks are being discriminated on just brings me the chill. . . . I see a lot of cute posts on social media that we are all one and yadayada but I would love to hear your opinion on how we can create more pragmatic solutions to really make changes. Is it even possible? . . . Love and take care

Just wanna share something. Been waiting for an email - if I got the job or not. I didn't get the job. But apparently I was amongst the top 10 candidates of 70 applicants. But that didn't matter. Immediately my insecurities kicked in. I'm worthless, underqualified and will never advance in life. It took some looping these thoughts until I realized what I was doing. I was once again defining my self-worth with job status and productivity. Why? Because an important part of my self-love still is based on how I think others perceive me. Admitting that helped me let go. And love myself even more. This process is at times fucking painful but incredible beautiful. Wouldn't want it differently (although a job would be nice 😅) Hope you're having a wonderful Monday <3

Borrowed lots of books in the library before Rona got serious with us (happy I did as many library now have closed). Albert Camus' "The Fall" called on me (ok, I admit, I just wanted to feel like a bougie ass intellectual Parisian^^). But after finishing the book I had to check Wiki for a synopsis of the book as I hadn't understood a shit of what I just had read. Apparently neither had Sartre who described the novel as "perhaps the most beautiful and the least understood" of Camus' books. Now suddenly I feel like I got it. Not everything is meant to be understood. Feel free to recommend a book to read :) #isolationlibrary #nextbook #books

Kombucha homies! Am I doing it correctly? Added some sugary liquid but is it too much liquid? Afraid that my baby scoby will drown and dissolve :/ #kombucha ucha #isolation #motherhood

Sunday lazy breakfast with miss Maya Angelou

New blog post! At www.blackbipolar.life . . . "I’ve been hesitating to share this with others but as I keep discovering more of my journey I feel this “secret” is holding me back from being more open. I’m still not ready to reveal all the details but this is what I’d like to share with you. I know that many will discard this as crazy (which is ok) but those who have been close to a fragment of this feeling, this consciousness, will probably resonate with what I’m saying." . . . This is a new path in my journey (or it's probably always been there. Let me know if you've experienced something similar. Would love to hear your story! Picture from Haruki Murakami's novel 1Q84

Greetings from grandma!

Full day at Kalangu café! Today we have two events happening. At 5.30 pm we start with a panel discussion organized by Interfem. How does racism and sexism correlates to stress?

Invited in the panel are individual who work with and have been affected by racism and sexism. ★ ☆ ✮ ⚧ ★ ☆ ✮ At 7.30 pm as a part of the fifth edition of Trans Film Fest Stockholm, TFS will organize a cozy acoustic music evening No tickets, no entrance fee.
