It took me 20 yrs to start writing online. 😱

Why? Because I was:

• Not a "writer"
• Afraid to look like a fool

I am now 40.

Finally said ENOUGH. Since March 12th, I published 17 essays & now active on Twitter.

Here’s what these 20 long years taught me about Courage:

🧵👇

Lesson #1: Courage unused shrinks

20 yrs ago I wanted to:
• Write about my crazy dating stories

10 years later, I wanted to:
• Write about my career change from Wall St to Michelin kitchens

Did I?

Nope.Nada.Zilch.

I didn't exercise courage and it kept shrinking & shrinking
Lesson #2: Courage doesn't mean you're no longer afraid

20 yrs ago, I was afraid to write b/c I didn't want to be judged.

Today, I write, publish & engage even though I'm still afraid of the same.

The only difference between the two is taking that uncomfortable action anyway
Lesson #3: Courage is listening to the inner voice

20 yrs ago, writing online was a big desire in my heart, but I shushed it.

Today, I can no longer shush it b/c if I kept at it, a part of me may die.

The only difference between the two is actually listening & taking action.
Lesson #4: Courage requires faith

20 yrs ago, I only relied on myself. I would've been devastated if I failed.

Today, I have a deep faith in God. Even if I fail, I'll be ok regardless.

The big difference between the two is believing & trusting in something bigger than yourself
TL;DR: 4 lessons learned about Courage after waiting 20 yrs to write:

1. Courage unused shrinks
2. Courage doesn't mean you're no longer afraid
3. Courage is listening to the inner voice
4. Courage requires faith

Pls don't wait 20 yrs to take the courageous action as I did!

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
