And then they will demand you ensure your children are male. The list is endless. Essentially- throw a middle finger to society and prioritise your actual joy. Have the audacity of a white woman and the sbindi of a ndoda to do what you want and put yourself first ❤️
actually your community IS coming to save you, people are going to show up for you, love is going to find you, strangers are going to be like angels, the world conspires for your highest good
As a woman I’m learning not to give in to the demands of society to appease society. First they will demand that you settle down and if you do, they will demand you have a child, then they will decide one child is not enough and then they will demand that you stay home to raise
One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, “Nope. I will not be participating.”
One of my biggest dreams is to build a company that creates opportunities for women who started later than expected.
Internships and graduate trainee programs for women in their late 20s and 30s. Remote jobs for women in their 40s and 50s.
