Rest in peace Ricky Rick 😔😔

Rest in Peace Ricky Rick😞 It's been reported he committed suicide and his last tweet at 3:20 this morning reads "I'll come back a stronger man. This land is still my home"💔 Just days ago the rapper posted a video of him & his wife and people were making fun of it. They were literally laughing saying hurtful things like "his wife looks uncomfortable, unhappy, why is he forcing smiles, etc" meanwhile he was the one who was unhappy masking it with laughs & smiles. Today those same people want to say "RIP" and "be kind" No guys! We need to do better and stop laughing at people for stupid shit. You have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. Celebrity or not. It's sad that some people base their lives around bringing others down and it's not okay. 

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH, SO JUST BE KIND AND IF YOU CAN'T BE KIND, BE QUIET. 

Chadwick Boseman who played T'Challa aka the Black Panther, was bullied on the internet for losing a lot of weight and he later died of Cancer. He lost weight because of his chemotherapy treatments but before he died people were laughing at him without knowing the truth.

Lufundo Mavungha (my cover photo) is a young girl who was bullied for her dark skin and looks, by other school learners. She was physically assaulted, the incident was recorded & sent around & many school kids laughed. They only stopped laughing when she committed suicide the next day💔 She asked the bully "What did I do to you? Why are you doing this?" 

Today I'm asking each one of you to refrain from bullying, talking down, belittling, or laughing at others. There are people who even bully their own family members and I want to say to you to STOP JUST STOP. You don't know when the last bad comment can send someone over the edge.  

I challenge you, wherever you are right now, to please give someone a nice compliment and make their day. You don't know the big difference it can make.
