An icon has departed

"It always seems imposible, until it's done."
Nelson Mandela
As you all know, Nelson Mandela passed away last week. It's a big lost for the whole humankind. He was just a simple man who kept on struggling and never gave up till he could see his people reunited.

My little tribute to honor him is to upload here a video about the life and history of such a great soul. It lasts one hour and a half, but it is worth watching.


Bye, bye, Madiva!

My intention today is to raise some awareness on gender violence.

I'd like you to watch the following videos and think about the issues we ALL need to improve to stop these brutal masacre.
