What Do People of Wakanda (Black Panther Movie) Eat? What is Their Diet?

Image
The people of real Wakanda are omnivores. Their diet is rich in carbohydrates and protein. They eat a balanced whole food diet. They do not eat processed foods. Because they work really hard and are always moving this diet is suitable for them. People of Wakanda grow their own foods that are suitable for their semi-arid climate. They grow their food organically without chemicals that destroy the land. As I said, they are environmentalists at heart. They value and respect the land that grows the food they consume. Since the beginning of time, the people of Wakanda have depended on the soil for their survival. Every family in the Wakandaland own a patch of land they use to grow food for their family. They grow foods like corn, beans, vegetables, and grass for their animals which are important source of labor for their food production. Animals are important to the people of Wakanda not because they are good source of labor but because they are a great part of their ancestral worsh...

My Top Things I love About The United States

Image
I've been living in the United States for eighteen years and I worry about a day I will have to pack my bags and leave for good. I moved to the United States with my husband who had gotten a job as a software engineer. We had planned to remain in the United States for two years and eighteen years later we are still here. I asked myself, what is it about the United States that has caused me to remain here for so long. In this video, I list all the things that I love about the United States that make me think twice about leaving. America is not a perfect country by any stretch of the imagination, in many ways, she is being left behind but there are things that make America a great country still and it is always good to remember them in the midst of the troubles surrounding this country. I hope you enjoy the video, please feel free to subscribe to my youtube channel for more interesting things about USA and South Africa.

How DNA Science Confirmed My African Identity

Image
Hi All. If you follow my youtube channel you would know that I was born and raised in South Africa and very proud of it; and now live in the USA and very proud of it. But growing up wasn't always fun because I was born with a very light skin to a black family in a sea of brown and black people. Fortunately I was not the only very light skin in my family or my neighborhood but we were still a minority. You see, a lot of South Africans have beige/brown or what you would call a coffee color naturally. This is because South Africa isn't  as hot as many equatorial countries. Even so there is a great number of dark skin South Africans. So being "too" light skin puts you in an awkward position and you will see why. Race Relations In South Africa What complicates things even further is that South Africa, if you know her history, has a lot of white people and mixed people therefore the default view is that if you are lighter than most black South Africans you must be mi...

How To Move To America - Win American Green Card

Image
A while back I created a video on ways one can move to America. I also shared a lot of links on the video description to help you access information on how you can move to America. With green card lottery opened, everyone, regardless of race, income or gender, has an opportunity to apply for free for a chance to win a United States green card. A green card allows one to work legally in the United States and work towards citizenship if they so choose. It means you become a permanent resident of the United States. For my family this was a five year process which was very costly to my husband's company. It does not have to be costly for you and your family. Once you get it, if you are lucky, then you can sponsor your family to move to the United States, again, no obligation, just an option. I'm sharing this information to empower everything with information about the green card lottery system. It is up to a person to take advantage of the available lottery through state....

"The Devil Is A Liar"

Image
I don't go to church but I love the saying: the devil is a liar. Basically it means, one will not be deterred in pursuing their passions regardless of what others around them do; at least that is my interpretation. The devil, a.k.a. haters, gets a bad reputation but we need the devil to push forward. So, thank the devil for the success you are hopefully enjoying! I know the irony of my above statements, but think about it: would you be as determined if you did not have obstacles in your life? Maybe, maybe not! Our character shows when we are faced with adversity and not when everything is going smoothly in our lives. But without those tests (obstacles) you would never develop resistance, tenacity and the strength you need to see yourself through. So, despite our hate of the devil, it is a necessary ingredient to our success, at least most of us. Let me illustrate with an example. Can you build muscles without resistance training? I guess if you use steroids I don't know b...
