Ramciel Magazine 


Part of healing,
Is creating, 
To be creative,
You have to be present,
To be present,
You have to surrender,
To surrender,
You have to trust.
To trust,
You have to see beyond yourself.

'' What is desirable? A view from the Editor


Ask people all over the world what they know about the people of South Sudan and you get words like fighting, tribal, primitive, uneducated. Sadly, even among our own people, too few realize what wonderful qualities are found among us. No matter from which tribe or region, there are breathtaking people.
What makes them so special? Of course, physical beauty is one consideration but so is the beauty of the spirit and strength of the mind. Some of our people are incredibly creative and some find ways to enrich our oldest traditions. There are so many ways in which people can be desirable. It is our goal to celebrate all those ways and all of our people.'' - Deng Mayik Atem

NAKIA love interest of King T'CHALLA: The Portrayal of Dark Skinned Women in Black Panther

Image
chadwick Boseman is Black Panther and King T'Challa and Nakia as in Lupita Nyong'O is the love interest of the King. In most films, the love interest is always a light skinned or racially ambiguous woman for the black man. It's very rare to see a sister as dark skinned as Lupita Nyong'O playing a love interest for the most powerful King in a Kingdom such as Wakanda and for a Hollywood blockbuster, such as Black Panther. In reality, Wakanda is a fictional reality and no one should base their whole identity on a movie. But representation matters. Young, dark-skinned girls and women will watch and will be validated. To see someone the same complexion as you in a place of power even if it's fictional can shift mindsets and shift paradigms. For a second you are given an alternative to the toxic narratives, stereotyping, downgrading and devaluing of your complexion and top of that mixed with gender is an intersectional problem. In Black Panther, dark-skinned people

Acai Louis Kuol Arop, Author. Acai is a South Sudanese - Canadian author based in Edmonton, Alberta. She writes based on contemporary issues in short stories format. She's an upcoming and rising South Sudanese writer in an industry that's male-dominated it is nice to see women get in the industry and write for themselves and other women. I got the opportunity to read a short story by Acai, it's called '' Broken Pieces.'' It is amazing.  Acai did an excellent job narrating and speaking from the viewpoint of the main character. She beautifully narrates the challenges of love and relationships from a woman's perspective. She wrote that story for women. She's highly talented and I hope to see more work from her in the future. Keep an eye out for her upcoming new work. I will make sure to keep you guys updated. Follow her below on her website and social media account. Facebook page: https://www.fac

Kang John Jock is an African-pop artist professionally known as Kang JJ, has been singing messages of peace and love for a very long time. I first heard of his music in my relative's car in Minnesota in 2012, since then I've been a fan. His music is very soothing, relaxing and gets you in a state of love. You feel positive, happy, and joyful after listening to his meaningful songs. Songs encouraging healthy relationships to songs of advocating for political peace and democracy. His songs resonates with peace lovers internationally. One of the things he is focusing now is on advocating for peace in South Sudan. The young nation has been at war since December 2013.
