Restoring Broken Places

LET THEM SHINE IN SAFETY (POEM)
By Aisha Nam Tetubatya
They walk beneath a burning sun,
Whose rays can harm instead of fun.
Yet still they rise, with heads held high,
Their spirits strong, their dreams can’t die.

Not ghosts, not myths, not tales of fear.
They’re human, real, and they are here.
With skin like snow and hearts like flame,
Each soul unique, each voice a name.

They’re hunted still in parts of earth,
For charms or myths that steal their worth.
But everyone with albinism born
Deserves a life that’s free, not torn.

Protect them as you would your own,
Their rights are real, their pain well-known.
No child should run from fear or knife,
Let’s stand and guard their precious life.

They need sunscreen, hats, and shade,
Not judgment, violence, or shame portrayed.
They need safe schools, and laws that shield,
And space to dream, to grow, to heal.

They are not different in their soul—
They laugh, they cry, they strive, they goal.
So let the world no longer hide
The truth that prejudice must slide.

Let Albinism shine in peace,
Let hunting, hate, and harm all cease.
Today we rise, we speak, we fight—
For every child born pale and bright.

It’s okay to not be okay.
Taking care of your mental health is not a weakness—it’s strength. Rest if you need to. Cry if you must. But never feel ashamed for feeling deeply. You’re human. Healing takes time, and asking for help is a brave step forward.

Your story isn’t over. You matter. You’re not alone.

With Irene Namatovu – I just got recognized as one of their top fans!

Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.

Dare to be different. Dare to accept yourself for who YOU are. Dare to live your life without limits. Dare to follow YOUR dreams. Dare to explore, experience, and make mistakes. Dare to live your life without being afraid. Live, learn, and grow. It’s your life! Make every decision that you make count for something. Always know your value as a person and don’t allow anybody to make you feel anything different. You may have to stand alone at times, but don’t be dismayed. There’s something special about you! Allow yourself to shine and dare to do the unknown.

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise again.

It’s not just other people we need to forgive. We need to forgive ourselves too.

Your absolute best won’t be good enough for the wrong person. At your worst, you’ll still be worth it to the right person. Remember that.

Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves.
