I’d like to congratulate myself. No. I didn't get appointed to a board or chair a committee or win any political post or even as much as a speaking engagement. I have simply made it through to the 2nd half of 2020. Been about 8 months since my last full-time appointment ended because I spoke truth to power and was outnumbered gender-wise and ethnicity wise as well - awful combination in a Multinational. Having no formal appointment and being hit with a global pandemic that ushers in a recession and with age no longer on my side, starting to see glimpses of my career dreams waning. But I'm determined to stay strong, because they say, that's how winning is done.
In between that I've spent a lot of time on LinkedIn appreciating opinions, multiple appointments, and accolades and the fanning of the flames from all asunder. So this time I thought to share mine in my own platform. Mine simply deals with survival. It takes a lot to just exist, mentally and socially in a world where only achievements are lauded. It takes a lot to be an underdog in a loud world. But as I've been told, sometimes, perhaps briefly, the underdog wins.
I'm pretty sure it always does.
Here's to winning in the 2nd half!!
sweet honey child
do not falter
don’t you dare fade
for your blessing lies
in the 2nd half of this here decade
