  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Multi-Award Winning Mumpreneur wants the world to Shhh or Tell it with Family Board Game

 

A passionate business woman, educator and mother, Atiti Sosimi developed the idea for Shhh or Tell it when she was looking for ways to encourage her family to learn from each other by openly sharing and discussing their thoughts, feelings, experiences and anxieties about life as a whole. She felt a board game was an excellent way to get family and friends to play, talk, share, deliberate and give a greater insight into how they think and feel and what influences how they make their decisions in a safe, non-judgemental and engaging way. Shhh or Tell it became an ideal way to confront serious issues alongside fun issues and situations in a healthy balanced setting.

Shhh or Tell it presents life-like dilemma scenarios which requires each player to consider how they would tackle each dilemma, and decide to either Shhh or Tell the scenario within 15 seconds.  By having to make a choice players become reflective of how they deal with similar dilemmas in their real lives. Shhh or Tell it soon became more than a family board game and has been used as a team building exercise in corporate settings and for student character development programmes in schools. The board game also has a facebook app called Shhh or Tell which allows users to share their own real-life dilemmas with friends, app users or anonymously using social media to get responses on how to deal with their dilemmas.

“This board game is about having fun and learning! It enhances team work, challenges group thinking and strengthens confidence in individual choices.” says creator, Atiti who took 5 years to develop this concept into a highly successful board game. The quality of the game and simplicity of the gameplay is testament to Atiti’s hard work. Atiti is another example of how Mumpreneurs around the world do great things every day!

Will you “Shhh or Tell it” this year?
