In this poem, @azwi_hilton beautifully paints a picture of the crucifixion in ways that are undeniably relatable. I hope his words touch and resonate with you as much as they did to us. The Weightless GiftUpon an ovoid hill, the still silence broke,Where love once hung beneath the oak,Not for applause, nor pride, nor fame,But for the lost, He bore the flame.No crown of gold, but spiky thorns instead.No royal robe, but raw wounds that bled.The hands that shaped the stars above,Were pierced to show the depth of love.He saw a tainted world in shattered glass,Each soul marred by its shadowed past.Yet still He chose the acrid bitter cup,And drank it full facilely to lift us up.This was no debt that we could pay,No ladder well-built by work or way.But grace, unearned, fell soft like rain,To cleanse the hearts that harbored pain.And mercy… Oh, that sacred strand,Stitched life into what once was dead.Not counting wrongs, not querying why,But soft-whispering hope with every sigh.So here we stand, not by our might,But bathed in undeserving astute light.The cost was great, and the gift is free.A passionate love beyond all boundaries.Written by @azwi_hilton #sheevolveworld#SheEvolves#sheevolvesmotivation#sheevolvesstories#sheevolvescommunity#sheevolvesquotes#sheevolvespoems#storyteller#storytelling#stories#blackafricanwomen#women#sheevolvespoetry#africanwriters#fyp#fyp#poetry#poems#instagram#instadaily#fb#sisterhood#Africanpoets#african#women#fyp#inspirationoftheweek...

Meet @favor.ojieh , a passionate advocate for the environment and the founder of VOCA (Voice of Climate Action). Growing up in Obiaruku, Delta State, Nigeria, she was surrounded by lush green landscapes and natural beauty, which sparked her innate love for the environment.It wasn’t until her NYSC service year in Bayelsa, assigned to the Ministry of Environment, that this love evolved into a deep sense of purpose. She vividly recalls the day when a devastating flood swept through her apartment - a wake-up call that changed everything. Her director, Mr. Ere Wakedei, introduced her to essential environmental meetings, including one with Terra Global, which opened her eyes to the urgent need for climate action, particularly within her community.Fueled by her passion, she embarked on a mission to create meaningful solutions. Her research into recycling began with something as simple yet impactful as plastic waste. She envisioned transforming items that many discarded as useless into something valuable. After approximately 20 months of experimentation, including numerous failures, she succeeded in creating VOCA Shoe Polish, a product born from recycled plastic waste. This achievement was not just about producing shoe polish; it was a statement that waste could indeed become wealth.To read Fouvor's inspiring story please click the link on bio.
