Greener Pastures Beyond Mt.Abuse

Communication

Is something we human beings take for granted. Everyone can speak but the art of expressing ourselves clearly is something we all need to learn. When speaking to different audiences we have to use different techniques i.e. body language and if the wrong technique or words are used, serious consequences can occur. Relationships falter today because people lack the skills to nurture those relationships. Maya Angelou said, “Now no one is going to make you talk, possibly no one can. But bear in mind, language is man's way of communicating with his fellow man and it is language alone which separates him from the lower animals”.

Hi Tina La, congratulations on getting this manuscript going, sad as it maybe it has a happy ending; there is a sense of determination and triumph. It is a narrative that will benefit many readers. Its strength lies in its originality based on a personal experience. Your personal experience is very useful in examining these issues. You’re not making a personal attack on anybody or institution except to present the contradictions inherent in our human interactions and relations, which require clarification through serious conversations with each other. I see your work in this context. It speaks to many people as the subject of domestic abuse is with us.

I admire your courage and resilience that you have come through these nasty experiences and that you are willing to share with others your story in order to raise awareness. There are many others out there who will relate to your story and I hope this can start the conversation which will bring about ways of creating change in the way we tackle these issues from the cultural perspective and break down the wall of silence.

You have raised serious and confronting issues here, which will cause some discomfort, however that is the more reason why the story needs to be told. To be able to shed light on traditional parenting styles and the effect they have on the person’s self-worth in this competitive world. It is not about blame but it is about critiquing our traditions in order to bring about dialogue towards change and prepare our youth for the globalised citizenship.

Hi Tinashe, I just wanted to say thank you again for sharing your story with us on R U OK? day and delivering this important message. You had the whole team engaged and the way you embedded your personal experiences and observations made the message so much more powerful. It was a privilege to listen to you speak.
