REMEMBERING WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY. During the Q&A session discussing my book #DISTORTION (now endorsed by the Ministry of Eduation and the Delta State Government), organised by the United States Agency for Global Media to mark World Press Freedom, in this news report, it captured some key highlights of my presentation:“People may come after you in a certain way you don’t realize through what I call your *'vulnerability pointers'.* Don’t be a victim, don’t live your life as a victim. *Victimhood is not something we should normalise.* And we can begin to do this by being accountable, and also try to take responsibility for our thoughts, ideas, actions, and the activities we engage in.”Paula Caffey, who attended the event wanted to know if the author, Umukoro, was ever fearful in the course of her investigative work, to which Umukoro replied: *“Fear is just an emotional tool, an indicator or stimulus that limits those who welcome it in, because self-doubt and fear go hand in hand. Fear is a pointer for you to be aware of to raise your awareness of, or heighten a sense of urgency in you in preparation for an event, a happening, or an action you have to take or about to happen. Fear, thus, prepares you.”*https://lnkd.in/d3P3e5wY
