For those of you who were paying attention this morning…

The answer to the first question you’re thinking is: “Yes, you read the LinkedIn update correctly.” I am no longer with the agency.

The answer to the second question is: “About 7 months.”

The third answer is: “To pursue other opportunities.”

And the fourth answer is: “No, I’m not quite certain what those are yet.”

The Republic of Congo, Africa: Falling Whistles

The refugee camp-ground has no grass just dirt.

Heat waves from the summer slither over the tortured Earth.

Learning about a war I know little of,

I sit next to a thirteen-year-old boy.

You seem a bit young to have been a soldier, kid.

-The smallest that can’t lift guns are forced to stand in the front lines.

Raising his hand upward in the form of a pistol, he roars,

POW POW POW

  Idiomas

People seem to view you through a different lens

Cuando hablas en tu idioma

because the words are unfamiliar,

But I see them as making themselves foreign

to my idiomas when they choose not to associate with me

Por que no me preguntas to understand?

I’d love to let you in my world to help you see what I see

and hear what I hear.

Aveces la gente no quieren aprender,

But that only makes your mind narrow

When you accept my differences,

you will understand my side

y depues ohala no me vas a ver differente.
