They say that I have strong sense of self and that I have good ideas but also I do have that dirty laugh. Hahahaha

For me being smart means not accepting the unacceptable situations. A smart woman is someone who can stand up for her rights and the rights of others.

I express my views and I’m not afraid to share them. YES, I SAY THEM .. I WRITE THEM & I TWEET THEM!!

I learnt that saying yes when I want to say no comes at a cost, it will burn me out and won’t please others.

Always keeping a cool head because being assertive does not mean that I am selfish.

I lost people for not accepting me as I am, and I felt anxious and sad BUT there is no shame to putting my own needs first.

HELLO MAY

Jasmine ElnadeemIMG_4289Jasmine ElnadeemMay is my favourite month! Probably because my birthday is in May, Hahaha 🙂

There are people who believe they were born lucky. And some who believe they were not. I don’t consider myself as a very lucky person, but May is the optimum month to be born and I always feel lucky in May.

I will be 32 years old on the 25th of this month and I’m gonna spend my birthday at the airport flying home to my sunny Egypt. OHH YEAH!!

MY MAY DAY

Published on by Jasmine ElnadeemLeave a comment

Jasmine ElnadeemIMG_4120May Day (1st of May) in Sweden follows the Walpurgis Eve with a wide choice of events, marches and demonstrations taking place across the country to celebrate the working class’ rights.

The 1st of May is a public holiday in Sweden, and many Swedes spend the day either attending the celebrations of political parties and trade unions, or simply enjoying a picnic outdoors with friends and family, weather permitting.
IMG_4148IMG_4224IMG_4243IMG_4191IMG_4241It was my first time yesterday to join the May Day demonstration in Stockholm, and it is quite amazing.

I come from Egypt where I’m used to see the police firing tear gas and arresting dozens to break up the protests. But yesterday the show was different as the celebration is an important cultural experience for most of Swedish people.

For me it looked so pretty like a parade. People gathered at Medborgarplatsen and then everyone walked from there to Kungsträdgården by way of Slussen.

There were probably thousands of people, and you can hear different languages coming out from the demonstration. Of course there were plenty of signs in Swedish. But there were also some signs in English, in Persian and Arabic.

Along with being one of the largest demonstration, it was the loudest. That’s because there were several bands. Hahaha, in fact. many of them were playing at the same time.

In the end it was an exhausting Första Maj, but a fun day and great experience indeed, plus it was a sunny day 🙂
