Ruchika In Seattle

As I build––for the FIRST time since my child was born 5+ years ago––a community of friends who are parents of color, I can attest that being a parent of color in Seattle is the *loneliest*, most heartbreaking experience ever. It's the Seattle freeze on steroids.

I've had parents TURN away from me on the playground. The new mum group I joined wouldn't talk to me. The educator refused to help me when I asked for resources with loneliness (now I know it was PPD). My OBGYN switched the subject to HER postpartum experience when I shared mine

Mums invited me to HH's, then systematically left me out (I would see on social media). Leaving my child out of playdates/birthday parties of the friends he played with at school. White mum who turned other way when I said hi at school until she realized I was SPEAKING at her org

If you live in Seattle and are reading this as a parent (or to-be parent or planning-on-parenting), PLEASE build your community ASAP. Other countries aren't like this (and the few other cities I've been to with my child) but if you're a POC in Seattle with a kid....Good luck. 💔

This is horrible, I am so sorry. The Seattle freeze would be enough on its own...can't imagine navigating that plus all the other layers. I'm not a parent but this hits such a chord in me. I am so happy you are building/finding community

This is awful. I’m so sorry it’s happening. I’m in Seattle. Please let me know how I can help you.

Thank you for seeing me. I've been very lucky this year to have found and continued to build my tribe. Out of incredible loneliness seems to have come incredible abundance. Hope our paths cross IRL soon!

I feel this. Most of my parent friends of color live elsewhere (cross country), and I’ve only recently connected with a group of moms who share some critical lived experiences by way of non-profit engagement/networking & @JackandJillInc ❤️ hang in there. Community takes time.

I feel so seen by this tweet. ❤️ Same story, different parts of the country. Much love.

Please elaborate.

I can attest to similar experiences. Its been gamechanging to cultivate meaningful friendships with other families of color. Not being seen and a fear of being seen are a reinforcing loop. #breakthecycle

completely agree its really really hard but always here if you need to chat. And parenting is hard period.

MCC बहस: विभिन्न कोण

राणा र अशिक्षा, कम्युनिष्ट र ग़रीबी 

प्रथम पक्ष मैले यो देखिरहेको छु। एमसीसी ले बनाउन लागेको विद्युत प्रसारण लाइन यति सारहो आवश्यक छ कि अमेरिकी अनुदान नलिने भए विश्व बैंक बाट लोन लिएर पनि तुरन्त बनाइहाल्नुपर्छ। निस्किन लागेको विद्युत कतै सप्लाई गर्ने बाटो त हुनुपर्यो। एमसीसी को विरोध गर्ने हरु ले सोझै नेपाल का गरीब जनता को घाँटी थिचे जस्तो मैले मानिरहेको छु। 

गरीब देश लाई धनी हुन बाट रोक्ने प्रथम कुरा नै उर्जा हो। अशिक्षा होइन, पुँजी को अभाव होइन। ती पनि हुन तर प्रथम होइनन। 

तीन रुपैया र तीन वर्ष मा बन्ने मेलम्ची ३० रुपैया र ३० वर्ष लगाएर बनाउने 

एमसीसी को विरोध भएको होइन कि मह को भाँडो खोइ मलाई देउ अनि तिमी छुमंतर गायब भैजाउ, यो काम पाँच वर्ष मा सम्पन्न गर भनेर तिमीले भनेर हुन्छ? हामीले काठमांडु मा बंगला बनाउनु परेन? त्यो चोर पापी सोंच हो। 

भारत विरोध, अमेरिका विरोध 

भारत विरोध लाई नै राष्ट्रियता भन्ने गरेका हरु ले अब अमेरिका विरोध लाई नेपाल को राष्ट्रियता भन्न थाले। ती एक एक लाई चुनाव को समय मा लु खा नेपाली माटो भन्दै चुनाव को समय मा धुल चटाउनु पर्छ। 

चीन, अमेरिका 

चीन र अमेरिका बीच आमने सामने को प्रतिस्प्रधा छ। त्यति त हामी पनि देखिराखेका छौं। ब्राज़ील र जर्मनी विश्व कप फाइनल मा उत्रिए जस्तो हो। प्रतिस्प्रधा हो दुश्मनी होइन, गर्न देउ। (हुन त तिम्रो अनुमति माँगेको मैले देखिरहेको छैन।) तिमी चीन नजिक को मान्छे हो भने जाउ चीन बाट ६०० मिलियन डॉलर अथवा ९०० मिलियन डॉलर को अनुदान लिएर आउ। ल्हासा त के बेइजिंग सम्म नै अर्को प्रसारण लाइन लगे हाथ बनाइदि हालम। एमसीसी फर्केर गए चीन ले टेरदैन। एमसीसी छ र तिम्रो अलि अलि भाउ छ चिनिया राजदुत को मा। एमसीसी को गुणगान गाउ।
