C Liberia Clearly CEO Berenice Mulubah Says Goodbye to the United States Marine Corps and Hello to Full Time Blogging

SSGT SERGEANT BERENICE MULUBAH, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, 15 YEARS HONORABLE SERVICE
Over the last four years, I have written stories about many, on C Liberia Clearly Blog.  Today, I get to blog about myself.  
Today is my last day in the United States Marine Corps. Oorah. 15 yrs ago, I dropped out of college studying music and enlisted into the United States Marine Corps at age 24. My oldest daughter was only 8 months old. I dropped her off to my mother and away I went. That was 2002, right after 911. Off to Parris Island, I went for training. There after, I went to my first unit, MWSS 272 NC. 3yrs later, off to Japan I went for 2yrs, then back to NC for 3 more years. During that time, I got deployed to Afghanistan for 9 months, also deployed on board the ship iwojima for 6 months, went back to Japan for 4 more years and came back to NC Camp Lejuene for 3yrs. It has been 15 years of honorable service and many sacrifices. The whole experience had its ups and downs but that goes with anything.
I am looking forward to using the same level of honor, courage and commitment the military has instilled in me, to build C Liberia Clearly blog. Growing up, entertainment was my life, but my journey took me to the military. During my time in the military, I felt in love with media and writing. I went back to college for Mass Communication. Today, I am a published author of two poetry books "Purple Honey Lips" and "Landing Safety On A Solid" and I am the proud owner of a thriving blog, my baby, my love, C Liberia Clearly. Thanks to those love ones who had my back on this journey. Thanks to my two beautiful daughters. They have been the perfect kids. It is not an easy task, being a single parent in the military, but my kids made it easy.
New path is always exciting for me. Bye bye Military, hello entrepreneur.

  1. Wow, just saw this blog and it's inspiring... I also noticed you're using blogspot to write which is not bad... But might not be the best platform to distribute your content..

    Thanks

Learning from my Wrong

I am incredibly hard on myself when it comes to being wrong and making big decisions in life. But, being wrong isn't as bad as we make it out to be. I have made many mistakes and I have discovered few lessons from my experiences. When I look back on my choices from a year ago, I always hope to find a few decisions that seem stupid now because that means I have grown. If you only live in the safety zone where you know you can’t mess up, then you’ll never unleash your true potential.  There is no reason to be depressed or give up simply because you made a few wrong choices. Even more crucial, you must try your best every time because it is the effort and the practice that drives the learning process. They are essential, even if you fail. Realize that no single choice is destined to fail, but that occasional failure is the cost you have to pay if you want to be right. 

We need men

am all about women empowerment. Matter of fact, it is safe to say, I am a feminist. But, when it comes to gender equality, is the scale balance, or starting to tip over? To have a successful community, a successful nation, we need both women and men to succeed equally. We need men to succeed; we need them to marry and raise strong children; we need men as much as women if we are to rebuild the family. Given the daily attacks on manhood in our media and our culture, the odds of creating strong, good men are ever shrinking. Unless we give the same attention to our boys and young men that we give to their female counterparts, the situation will only grow worse. Without a determined effort to raise our sons with the same sense of hope and aspiration given our daughters, to let them know that masculinity is as positive a value as femininity, to teach them honor, courage, and virtue, we will see even fewer intact families, an ongoing sense of hopelessness and despair a
