Raped, the story of Cecile

I was walking the street like usual, 
I did only know that way back home.
There was no shortcut, it was straight. 
Ohhh, and I was 10... but I was raped.

I think I will never forget what happened,
I am forever stained, I feel dirty.

I prayed every morning,
I asked God to put peace in the world,
I have asked him to bless everyone,
even people who had a bad heart.


It was quiet, it has always been.
That is why I like home.

But the quiet of that day was bad,
they came from nowhere and grabbed me. 

I was just a kid, 
powerless and physically weak. 
They put me on the ground, 
Actually, they pushed to the ground.

They were violent, 
I wondered if I prayed for them too. 
"God did you make them to your Image?"

Why was I chosen?
why does something like has to be?

As a girl I could feel it.
I felt it like never before. 
It was supposed to be an act of love,
But I was done it as if I was hated. 

I was raped (part 1)

I have decided to write down the story of Cecile, just like 1.2 millions women and children are raped nearly a year (stat from 2015), who cannot say their story and let people know how they feel.
As a writer and blogger, it is not just about giving them a voice but sympathising with them. 
There is a difficult assimilation process to put yourself in the shoe of the victim. I could only feel the emotional pain. I could not even imagine how it feels physically.

About Us

I Masters Training is a South-African based company (with a broad network in the Republic Democratic of Congo) that focalizes in training and recruitment in sectors of business, finance and engineering.

The virgin prostitute, the reason behind prostitution.

I feel like controversy is one thing that draws a lot of people's attention and it is so trendy that people always tend to comment and discuss it.
On my other blog solely dedicated to my literary writing (discover it here), nothing to do with politics, fashion or news; I published a story called the virgin prostitute. many people asked what was the story about. (read the virgin prostitute here)

Living in a society of opinions, we tend to become very judgemental and cast upon other people our views about how things are supposed to be. Religion, philosophy and politics are the roots of what we believe in or what we reject. Generally,  prostitution is believed to be wrong, unless where it is legalised, and I share that view. However, I never judge those who do that.

Would I do that? Never, I won't but I am a first-hand writer. I would like to know the reason before I put down words on a paper or letter in a text. So I wrote the virgin prostitute because I watched and researched numerous reasons why people, especially girls, would like to do that job. One the reason that occurred the most was childhood's abuse (that depleted into the creation of an uncontrolled need as a sort of therapy, a bit just like substance abuse) and loss of father figure. That simply explains how sexuality is very powerful and very strongly embedded in our DNA.

Fally Ipupa is simply above the others.

I am probably a very sporadic blogger and only blog when I find interest in what I write... and lately, one of my biggest interest has been to study the way musician, dancer and songwriter Fally Ipupa demarcates himself from other Congolese musicians. 

Since his breakthrough solo album, droit chemin (righteous path, or literally the right road) in 2006 he has internationalised the local, lengthy and sometimes exhausting Congolese beat and musical style. We passed from the 12 minutes long track to the more acceptable 3'30" or 4 minutes track that people around the world tolerate.

He also understood the importance of educating himself and his music. It may seem a bit strange but he, actually, has made something that has long been forgotten in the Congolese musical landscape. The value that he has given to collaboration has seen him work with numerous famous international names. In his latest album "Tokooos" that was released on July the 7th, he has scored big in featuring R. Kelly in Nidja. (click here to download the song) 

This is a typical Congolese sound characterised by slow tempo and a certain melancholy. we call it "Rumba" and the guitar is the master instrument in this genre. It is not the usual style that R. Kelly has made us familiar with, even when he sings gospels. But it all sings love anyway; I would not go into deciphering the song as just listening to it should be enough to consider the progress Fally Ipupa has made into internationalising his music and opening the door to a certain diversity as to the Congolese typical musical genre. 

You will find some very interesting local sounds like Eloko oyo here; Yakuza ft Wizkid, a song I also like as it sounds more like the current trendy Nigerian music with a touch of Congolese seduction and depth (listen to it here). 

We now can only wait for the video clip.
