She was drowning. And nobody noticed… Nobody, except her.
It was June 2022, at the World Championships in Budapest. Anita Álvarez, an American artistic swimmer with Mexican roots, was performing a flawless routine. But when her performance ended… she didn’t come up for air.
She had lost consciousness. Her body floated for a few seconds, then began to sink. Slowly. All the way to the bottom of the pool.
The audience didn’t notice. Neither did the judges. Everyone was clapping.
But her coach, Andrea Fuentes, noticed. She knew Anita—knew exactly how long it took her to surface. She felt in her heart that something was wrong.
Without thinking twice, she dove in. Fully dressed. Shoes and all.
She swam straight down, grabbed Anita by the waist, and brought her back up. She saved her life.
This story left me thinking…
Who knows you well enough to notice when you’re not okay, even if you’re still smiling? Who would dive in for you without hesitation when you no longer have the strength to come up for air?
And more importantly…
Would you be that person for someone else? Are you present enough in your loved ones’ lives to sense the moment they start to sink? Or are you just another spectator, clapping, not realizing that inside, they’re fading?
In this life, we all need someone who doesn’t just see us— but truly notices us. Someone who knows when we’re about to give up, and has the courage to jump in and save us.

This Crime Happenned in France But Africa was mentioned… it’s called Narrative Control.
Africa is wrongly portrayed in the media as a continent of crime.
Here is the full story:
The victim was skateboarding from England, in Europe. The crime happened in France, Europe.
But the headline focused on his destination which is Morocco, Africa where the victim Is yet to arrive.
How can we change this narrative? How can we portray Africa as a continent of 1.4 Billion People who are building the African economy one step at a time?
