USA ELECTIONS 2024 NOVEMBER 5TH

United state of America is holding their election tomorrow the 5th of November and the candidate who is going to win will impact our lives for the next 4 years. this is an extra ordinary elections in the USA for the first time we all feel the anxiety , fear , having sleepless nights just from reading what is going on in the USA especially after what the world witness on their last election on the JANUARY 6TH . a lot have been said and as a migrant i can feel the fear crawling in me everyday , i was thinking i was running from post election violence in my country only to be met with mass deportation fears , tearing families apart threat . someone can choose to rape you , imagine you cannot go for abortion because abortion has been ban in the state you living in, I'm thankful that women have decided to come together to defend their rights this means so much to me and many million women that will vote to stop the hate against women reproduction rights .growing up you hear people talk about American dream , you fantasize about it , you wish for the opportunity ,once you get the opportunity you have to go through paper work , you have to go through medical examination and if you fail your medical examination your not going to get the dream pass, you have to go for visa interview , that is so traumatizing . the visa window is not for faint hearted especially in Nairobi USA consulate .how many applicants get their visa denied on daily basis over 1000 and on top of those refused visa the visa fee in nonrefundable. when you hear an octogenarian leader talks bad about migrants you go back to your history and question yourself if its true the USA was builde by the migrants , they work hard , they remit money back home , they pay their tax shares they build the economy ,they were made slaves back in the 18th century , is it worth it for a leader running for election to take people back to slavery , hate , modern racism . i mean we all bleed red at the end of the day. i did not expect to hear the kind of talks i have been hearing from this beautiful country i have work hard to get the visa to be able to visit any time i get an opportunity , my heart is bleeding everyday from fear what will happen if things go the direction i don't like , what will happen to all the families that have embrace interracial marriages , what will happen to a asylum seekers who are running a way fro war torn countries .they don't know how it feels like to loose everything to war. you want to take hopeless people who just want a good life , living in the USA with legal status back to where they came from , i never knew i would live to see this but I'm lucky to be a live and to witness all this history in the making . I'm positive millions of Americans are going to do the right thing that respects the constitutions , vote the right leader in office that will respect each other no matter what they look like ,no matter where they come from without fear of intimidation. i have migrant friends who have depression they are so hopeful that the American citizens are going to make difference that will favor any person who came here as Legal migrant with legal status and abide by the migration laws of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. its not easy to come to the USA its a hard work full of depression anxiety , profiling right from the embassy to the port of entry . you can be issued a visa in the consulate but the homeland security might choose to deny you entry and send you back on the next available flight with 10 bar on your passport depending on your circumstances . the last time i got glued on the USA election was when Obama was running for president and i liked it , again what made me read more about the 2020 election was the January six episode and in 2024 , the un AMERICAN talks made me flow the USA election it made me listen to both leaders talk and i text my friends who are voting and ask them with the picture of the two candidates who are you voting for mostly they choose their candidate of choice then i ask them questions about their decision . on the process i have change some of my friends minds by telling them to be on my shoes i call it my own civic education , and i can personally confess it works , I'm positive with this election women are going to break the records , they are going to take back their freedom of their bodies .that just my thought though . the USA is the greatest super power country with lots of opportunity that should never be taken for granted. i cant wait to celebrate with my women friends when the final results are red loud to the public . women united can do wonders . i believe this election is going to be an eye opener to many male leaders in the USA that think they have a right to woman's reproductive organs , they need to stay a way fro women ovaries because most of them have questionable characters towards women , I'm positive a woman is going to make history by the statistics from ealy voting things are looking good on women . if there is one thing world pulse taught me is to support your fellow woman dont wait untillits too late to lift up your fellow woman , awoman is a voice of change
