Your daughter just got her first period.
Do not tell her she is a woman now.
Tell her what estrogen does.
Tell her what progesterone does.
Tell her her cycle has four phases and each one will feel different.
Give her information. Not a new identity.
When the dust settles corporate South Africa needs to be shamed for its lack of support for Bafana Bafana. E.g. Checkers gave staff Green tops for the Springboks and you'd see flags all over the shop on Matchdays. Nothing for Bafana Bafana.
You’ve seen #ThePolygamist and saw how Jonasi went out… just know, that is not just TV drama, it is real life consequences.
Multiple partners without protection increase your risk of STIs and HIV. Ignoring treatment does not make it go away, it makes it worse.
Knowing your status is power. Using protection is responsibility. Taking your treatment is survival.
If you stopped treatment, come back, reinitiate and stay on it to achieve an undetectable viral load. This means living a healthier life with zero risk of passing HIV on to others.
Remember, prevention options such as PrEP and Lenacapavir can help protect against HIV, but condoms are still essential to protect against STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and more, as well as unwanted pregnancies.

I feel the most sympathy for Mpume. Everyone made bad decisions because of their pain. she’s the only character who did nothing wrong and chose to forgive.
