Inspired by all the wonderful women around me beginning from my mother.
It's been a rough cycle of years for us women. From being little girls; learning to take up roles of ‘assisting’ only and keeping our mouths shut ‘ girls don't shout like that’. Growing up in communities already deeply run by notions such as, ‘a woman cannot occupy spaces that require all her time because she has to make a home and care for her babies’.
Newly inspired by the awakening happening around the world. Women lending voices of hope, women leading packs, standing for what is right and never relenting.
Furthermore, inspired by my sisters, by the love we share and the beliefs we've grown to adopt. Also, by our father - Isaac Naze never allowing us suffer, never belittling our voices and always celebrating our wins with everything he has, and all the other men out there who truly love and support us.
It's a new dawn for women. We're moving further and leaving the past behind us. We're refusing to let the naysayers push us to the dust. We're opening our mouths, shouting in public places, mixing our passions with homemaking and rebranding our communities.
Cheers to us, the women who see the future. Cheers to us, the women who want a change. Cheers to us, the women who believe in love and humanity. Cheers to WOMEN; weak/strong, short/tall, fat/slim, scarred/beautiful, married/unmarried, young/old, beaten but not broken. We're the future.
Happy International Women's Day 2022!
