At some point as Africans we really do need an honest grown conversation about religion.

I once thought misunderstandings only happen when people don’t speak the same language. I was wrong.

They come from assumptions. You think you explained yourself. They think they understood you. Both walk away frustrated. This lesson shows up everywhere workplaces, classrooms, friendships, and leadership spaces.

Take it as confirmation. You outgrew the circle. That is the quiet cost of growth. That is the shared fate of those who evolve. Your kin will not always be your kind. And your circles will keep changing.

and what did not change in them. People rarely support what reminds them they are standing still. They will not clap when your progress exposes their stagnation. So when support does not come from those who knew the former you do not take it as rejection.

Because they've seen you make them before When people are familiar with you they think they know you. Yet they only know your history. They don't know your evolution. Your growth becomes a mirror And mirrors make people uncomfortable. They see what changed in you

Those who knew you struggle to release where you were. While a stranger gives you a clean slate. Your sibling remembers the exams you failed. Your childhood friend remembers how lost you once were. Your family may even fear you are making another mistake.

The uncles who gave you pocket money as you returned to college. When you level up these people often go silent. Strangers will support you better than those who know you. Not because strangers are better. But because they meet you where you are.

Coworkers are stuck on the version of you that was just trying to get by. When you begin to win it confuses them. They did not see it coming. The aunties who remember the quiet timid cousin. The teachers who helped you when you could barely speak up.

some Reflection!!! The people who know you will often be the last to support you. Familiarity kills respect. Your family still sees the child who never finished what he started. Old friends remember when you were broke and unsure.

Diplomacy carries honor and quiet sacrifice. Some costs never appear in job descriptions, yet they shape us deeply. What have you learned to let go of in order to serve well? https://t.co/b3eDQdyBVV

Diplomatic service is often viewed through the lens of prestige travel, exposure, and access. Rarely acknowledged are the quiet sacrifices that accompany life abroad.

Office politics become particularly complex in environments where appointments are influenced by political affiliation rather than merit. This reality is not unique to foreign service it is present...

There is a moment every diplomat remembers clearly the moment you receive your first foreign posting. It arrives wrapped in pride, excitement, and a quiet sense of achievement.
