::: It's Voting Time...:::


A wonderful day to you all lovely people out there!
It’s voting time in Freiburg! The municipal council election is fast approaching. So people get registered... and please go and vote! 
Yeah we are talking politics today.
We have a date.
25th of May!
From the 25th of April you can register to vote online. Will bring you more infos!

Freiburg has appointed about 591 able men and women to represent our values and culture at the municipal council. Now one of the duties of the municipal council, is to give an open ear to your needs. So people, this is not only an opportunity for you to participate in making our lovely Freiburg a more tolerable city but also to build a sustainable future for our trilingual and multicultural kids.
There are 13 political parties going in for the municipal council election. I will try as much as I can to present a few candidates to you, based on my personal interaction with them and my knowledge of them.
From the BÜNDNIS 90/ Die Grünen, we have our very own Philippe Djahi. He is 50 years of age and his main goals, considering his immigration background, is not only to integrate immigrants in the activities of our beloved Freiburg but also to help solve the housing problem in Freiburg.


From CDU, we have Dr. Sylvie Nantcha. She has actually been very active in the political scene for some time now. She wears many different hats. And at the end of the day she represents that energetic powerful woman, mother and wife, with the desire to make our living space a better one.



From SPD, we have Mahmadou Bah.


 Linke Liste, there is Bulut Ergün. A personal friend and a wonderful dad.
On a serious note, his goals really make sense to me. He wants a better Freiburg for students, kids and also refugees. Those who know him personally like I do, know that what he says are not only empty words, but words from a big heart and an active soul.
To be continued... 
Ps: I really appreciate your comments!
Love you all.

:::Nobody is getting it all right!!!:::

“ Having a low opinion of yourself is not "modesty". It's self-destruction. Holding your uniqueness in high regard is not "egotism". It's a necessary precondition to happiness and success”.  ~ Bobbe Sommer Into every generation, different kinds of women are born. Some with greater strengths, some more intelligent, some smarter, others too sensitive, others gentle. Whether shy, soft spoken, loud or assertive, fast or slow, organized or disorganized, in our own little way, We Are Super Women. Every woman, in my opinion, whether tall or short, pretty, fat or thin, rich or poor, is unique in her own way; she just has not figured that out yet. Trying to live the life of another woman will only get you confused and depressed. We were all made differently and have different paths to follow.  We come across lots of people in our daily lives; through social Medias, behind our screens, by coincidence etc. and admire them. Of course it’s OK and but

:::“Constitution without constitutionalism" Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh:::

A few years ago, Lapiro de Mbanga (RIP) got Cameroonians buzzing with hope and optimism to the tunes of “Constipated Constitution” and, last week, the socio-political consciousness of Africans in Freiburg and Cameroonians in particular was aroused by the “Constitution without constitutionalism” and “democracy without democrats” message delivered by Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh. The event took place at the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg, where he was invited by the department of political sciences as a guest lecturer.
