What do you do when you try your hardest but no one notices? Or gives you a pat on the head for a good job as if you were a dog? I can remember joining this place with high hopes!
It was around 20 years ago! A place were we can speak and share and connect? "Voices of the Future" it was called back then. I loved the line "no one speaks for me, I speak for myself"!
How magical and powerful to have found this! Except...
They did not differentiate between indigenous and genocidal war criminals in any way. It was frustrating because there is a vast difference and if you do not recognize this fundamental thing, then why are we here?
I notice an absence of indigenous to this half of the world woman on here.
The first time I left it was because they were going to hire a white guy to help out and a lot of us woman at the time said we were very uncomfortable with a white guy invading our space. And as always happens the white woman say how great he is and how you will enjoy it, dont worry. You can not tell us we can make a difference and matter but when it comes time to hire someone choose a white guy! that is just bs so I left... or was it the second time I left?
I came back because it is a platform that is easy to use. I hope I can bring back all the indigenous woman who left! I can handle only so much of it before I need to run away and take a shower! I am sure they felt the same!
But if we want to reach these woman, they are here... so i am back in 2026 to give it another go... The ongoing indigenous genocide of this whole half of the world is ending in our lifetime.
