It always seems impossible until it is done -Nelson Mandela- I just watched the new season of #youcantaskthat tonight on the ABC which interviewed people of African backgrounds and got them to address stereotypical questions on being African such as - Did you grow up in a hut? Do African men have big appendages? Do Africans just drive taxis🚕? Is it okay for people to randomly touch your hair/skin?

And if you ask "What if I FALL?" Oh but my darling, "What if you FLY?" Erin Hanson It's a crutch of mine to always think of ALL that can go wrong in everything I do🤯🤪. This over analysis and contingency planning can lead to fear of taking the next steps 👣👣.
