How staying true to yourself protects your identity in a changing world

 

Speaking the truth takes courage, and many people feel uncertain when doing so.

Speaking the truth takes courage, and many people feel uncertain when doing so.

 

As an African writer living in Europe, I have always chosen to stay true to my identity and values. No institution or environment can pressure me into producing content that misrepresents who I am or the perspective I bring to my work.


It takes courage to speak the truth, which is why many are scared. If speaking the truth will cost me my head on a silver platter like John the Baptist, I would prefer my head to be decapitated rather than submit to any criminal government or institution.

 

I can be taken from the search engines by them; even if only one person reads my blog, I will still be grateful. I thank God for giving me the strength to stand firm against the darkest forces that want to kill me. 


I know that Jesus was persecuted for the truth, but if I hadn't been in Europe, I wouldn't have known that to such an extent I would be subjected to all kinds of cruelties and psychological torture by Google and the Belgian government because of the truth.
