Patriarchy is so deeply rooted that a woman sacrificing her body to give birth is treated as normal, while a man washing a few dishes is treated like a hero
Some battles can’t be fought alone.
Lauretta is fighting Hodgkin’s lymphoma with everything she has. We’re asking you to stand beside her as she continues her treatment.
Please help us get her to the finish line. A donation, a repost, or a share could make a world of difference.

Please don’t give up on Lauretta. 🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🙏🏾
if there's one thing i have learned from the women before me, it is not to make huge life altering sacrifices for men. They do not deserve such loyalty and commitment
Saw that Okwuluora Kidney failure video in Enugu and I just thought;
1) Beans - Sniper or dangote cement.
2) Palm oil - Red dye + water.
3) Fried Plantain chips - Either transformer oil to save cost or vegetable oil + nylon to make it shiny and hard.
4) Fufu - Klin i.e detergent to ferment cassava in hours instead of days.
5) Kpomo - formalin to preserve it further.
6) Fresh fish - Industrial dye.
7) Unripe pineapple and banana - ripening in hours with chemicals.
8) Mango - ripening overnight by pouring inside smelly gutter waters.
These are but a few, meanwhile, Nigerian yam, beans are banned across parts of Europe for containing excess pesticides used by farmers without proper measurements.
We virtually consume these on daily basis, and result today is unprovoked kidney and liver damage.
Last person that narrated her side of a story this good with exact dates, time, receipts, evidence and witnesses was Odanz’s girlfriend in the Standing fan chronicles.
Heartbreaking video showing a father begging Nigerians to help save his daughter after she underwent surgery. Due to a lack of funds for her continued treatment, her condition has worsened, and her stomach has become severely swollen. Please share this video 😭
It's also interesting how they get to decide what counts as an "intellectual" conversation in the first place. More often than not "intellectual" just means topics they're interested in or already knowledgeable about. They often mistake their interests for intelligence itself.
I just saw a quote that explains patriarchy perfectly:
“Isn’t it funny how we were taught to be afraid of witches, but not the men burning them.”
This is what we always do, blame the victims and coddle the abusers when they are men.
These photos were taken after Lauretta’s last chemotherapy session.
The treatment is painful. The recovery is hard. But she keeps showing up, determined to keep fighting. Please don’t give up on her.
If you can, help us keep her treatment going by donating, reposting, or sharing her story.
