Writing with Juliet Iwelunmor

Tell them we stood like stars

and dazzled

and dazzled

like stars within.

But we never forget,

and we keep the memories

of a time

something tried to dim our light.

Yet still like stars, we dazzled.

Right at the beginning of setting up one of my most significant research programs, an individual I entrusted the program to quit. I could either do two things. Quit on the program too or revamp the entire program with a new plan since the prior organizer of the program quit. I revamped the program. I quickly deleted everything the prior organizer did and started as if I was her. We just completed the third week of the program and boy we stood as Stars.

I have been listening to the song Pray. The idea of carrying your cross to Calvary when no one Dey for you keeps me humble. That’s how I revamped the program with 3 weeks to go and a 30 hour flight with nothing else to do. If you know what has happened this past month, it would be clear why I too pray. I no fit fall and yea if you no Dey for me, I go carry my cross to Calvary in peace. I told them not to sleep on me. They will see something. For I too pray. Lord knows I have been working hard make I no fall ooh. This next phase of my life will be full of endless journeys to Calvary. I’m okay if you no Dey for me. I know who started the journey.
