“Almost every woman I knew had experienced that. We tucked sexual assault into the cupboards of our minds and locked them up because no one would listen anyway.”

The world must listen.

Don’t ask endless questions with no intention to buy.
Don’t demand something different from what I clearly stated is available just for the fun of it.
Don’t say “I’ll get back to you” and never look back.

[Maisha @ThatBlackMaisha]

Please, don’t play with my business.
You can play with my heart, say you love me when you don’t mean it.
But play with my business? Please don’t do that.

Islam doesn’t deny you your femininity or sense of style.
Beauty in dressing is praiseworthy.

Islam encourages modesty and dignity in dress for both men and women not dullness or ugliness.

Wherever the narrative that it is haram for Muslim women to wear heels came from ?

Money will fit me like mad !
Legitimate Bastard Plenty Money.
I just know it. I can feel it

One day, you will find true love.
But for now, buy scarves, eat good and smell nice.

[Maisha @ThatBlackMaisha]

On this day, I ask Allah for His Mercies and the grace to not end up with an entitled tyrant for a husband.
I pray against emotional neglect, manipulation, gaslighting, disrespect, verbal & physical abuse and infidelity.
Jumah Mubarak

The Quran did not directly command the use of Niqab

Niqab became a thing through interpretation and cultural practice, not universal Islamic law.

Three of the four Schools of Madhab agrees that a woman’s face and hands are not awrah (parts of the body that must be covered).

@lutifat_Abolore Nahhhh😂

[Maisha @ThatBlackMaisha]

I just remembered that one year that my mother dressed my aunt and I in Iro and Buba for a trip to the Zoological garden,Ibadan.
Omo😂😂💔
And she even adorned us with big gele !

[Maisha @ThatBlackMaisha]

@lutifat_Abolore Exactly! It’s things like this
people feeling like they can just ‘read’ you that sometimes makes it uncomfortable 🥹. That’s wild tho😂💔

Looking younger than your age can be amusing at first,quite interesting.
People laugh, they tease, they compliment you and you smile because it feels like a blessing. For a while, it even feels like a flex something to secretly be proud of.
“Forever Young”
But then,that changes.

[Maisha @ThatBlackMaisha]

Does looking younger than your age ever feel like a blessing and a curse at the same time?
Something about you that others find “admirable” weigh you down instead? If you’ve had this experience, I’d love to hear your story.

[Maisha @ThatBlackMaisha]

It becomes exhausting. Insecurity creeps in. Frustration follows. And somewhere in between, you lose that sense of pride in your own skin.
