Dear viewers and fans: Let me start off by thanking God for his love and mercy, and for letting me make it this far. I'm celebrating 1 year since I've started this blog.On January 16th, 2015 we had recorded 3,053 views, from both local and international viewers. On our google + pages we have a record of 8000 + viewers. For that I would like to thank each and everyone of you for supporting me.
I'm also sending out a special THANK YOU to my TWITTER followers, thanks for your love and support. Angel Evans, love you baby girl, and thanks for your support.
A very special thanks to Evencia Carty Seabrookes; she kicked me into gear, kept me on my toes with her burst of energy and motivation. I also must commend her for the SPECTACULAR INTERVIEWS she had done with my Dad and Ms. Shama Flurton. THANK YOU VENCIA, much love.
Thank You Dad, Mr. James.E. Maduro for your out spoken interview and your kind words, LOVE YOU DAD!!!! THANK YOU also going out to Ms. Shama Flurton, on your courageous interview, I must say now that the way you spoke about our friendship brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for keeping it real, love you girl.
A special THANK YOU is going out to our President at S.A.F.E. SXM, Ms. Lysanne Charles Arrindell, on her interview for both OUT'N'PROUD SXM and S.A.F.E SXM. I also want to commend her and the BOARD at St. Maarten/ St. Martin Alliance For Equality on their new Lobby for SAME SEX MARRIAGE to be LEGALIZE here on St. Maarten. Thank you and the board for a job well done, and you guys at S.A.F.E have my full support.
To my local community, thank you for your support. My kooyman family, thank you for following me and supporting me.
For those of you that shared your stories with me, THANK YOU for trusting and believing in me. I also hope that you are more acceptable of yourselves, and living the life that makes you happy. I've been called many names, and that didn't stop me from being the person I am today. I live my life for me and not for others, and I urge you to do the same, LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOU AND NOT FOR OTHERS.
This year we're going to have more local coming out stories and international news. Its important to let people express themselves, do not bully them because they're different, because you too are also different. Instead listen to them and give advice, don't call them names and shun them, they're HUMAN just like you, with feelings.
BE TOLERANT, and show your peers how to be TOLERABLE. SHOW LOVE, TOLERANCE and ACCEPTANCE. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE, ONE COMMUNITY, AND TOLERANCE AND ACCEPTANCE STARTS WITH US.
THANK YOU
MINELVA MADURO.
Congrats Minelva and Happy Birthday to OUTNPROUD. I am very happy to have been a part of this blog movement and help create a safe place of encouragement where yourself and others can freely express themselves. All the best and Keep it Going!
ReplyDeleteThank you Evencia, and we miss you here at OUTNPROUD, hoping that you return and continue to do our interviews. I really did enjoy this first year, and I must say myself, that it went smoother than I thought. We love you here at OUTNPROUD, so please return soon.
