Med twitter is soooooo TOXIC
The things that should be fought go through this app are being ignored
Everyone just focuses on tearing each other apart
It’s exhausting
@neorealistic@Faithh_Samuel You can’t use the minor to judge the major
That’s just competency issue that affects all profession
So therefore the point you are trying to make can’t stand
@neorealistic@Faithh_Samuel Haha
I don’t understand
Is it different curriculum they use for all of us?
All physiotherapist are well trained in identifying red flags
If you want to point out people that are unserious or under qualified then that cuts across all professions
We know our scope like the back of our hands, if you have a problem with a Physiotherapist saying they are first contact practitioners for certain cases, which they are, based on their scope and training then your cry will be very well drank! 😂
I have never worn a wig
I may never wear one till Jesus comes. But that’s just me
A whole lot of women love wigs and wear them
Some say it’s very convenient
Some say it affords them freedom to up and go without doing too much
Some just love how they look with a wig on and that’s valid.
It looks dope and all and you do you queen. Love it for you
My post yesterday had nothing to do with liking or not liking wigs or what each woman chooses to which was why I said “ a lot” of women not all women
Which was why I did not just mention wigs. I also mentioned skin colour but somehow you all disagreeing did not touch that one
So let’s go to school a bit and unpack this discuss a bit more
I mentioned that I had a problem with the version of wig wearing that is used to hide our hair.
I mean black hair. Kinky, coily, shrinky, you get the gist .
Some said it was the styling problem and not a natural hair problem
But Sister Marie bliss styled hers too. She wore a full face of makeup and somehow a lot of black Nigerian women still felt she did not do enough for her big day.
All of a sudden we want to pretend we don’t know that many times, a black womans hair is not considered “made” until it’s tamed
Our hair that is naturally curly and kinky is a raw material that must be processed and relaxed to oblivion and flat ironed till its proteins are denatured before society considers it “styled”
The doctor in question was not doing surgery. She was not in a professional capacity. She was doing a photoshoot and left her hair in a twist out.
And some people called her mad. Because her hair was not laid sleek
Have you asked yourself what birth relaxers?
Have you asked yourself what birth flat irons?
Are you aware that a lot of women are fired from their work place because an Afro is considered a political statement and too intense for a work environment?
But a Scottish woman with wild red curly hair is considered ethereal
This is the same mindset that birth cancer causing whitening cream. And brightening. And lightening
Because one of the yokes the colonial masters dropped on our shoulders is that you’re not good enough if you don’t look like a white woman
A lot of Nigerians are still colourists. A light skinned baby is considered more cute and we still check the ears of a new born to see if they would darken with time.
Because black is dirty
A dark armpit is gross. Your dark inner thighs are disgusting
I’m passionate about fashion. Fashion is not just clothes.
It starts from inside. It starts from loving yourself, seeing yourself as beautiful.
The clothes we wear, the accessories, the hair , the skin, they are all just to accentuate who we already are inside.
And as a society we should be open to relearning ourselves dropping the shackles we still hold from the era when black men were seen as no better than cattle.
Blessings!
PS: 4C in all its glory innit🤭😌
I saved for months to attend a Christian conference where my favorite preacher was ministering.
Not just any seat.
Front row.
Close enough to hear every word clearly.
Before the session started, a lady tapped my shoulder.
“Hi,” she smiled softly. “My church group is seated here, but my ticket is for the overflow hall downstairs.
Would you mind swapping with me?”
I looked at her badge, then mine.
“I’m really sorry,” I said kindly, “but I sacrificed a lot to be here.”
Her expression changed immediately.
She turned to her friends and said loudly,
“Imagine coming to a Christian gathering and refusing to show love.”
Another girl added,
“We’re believers.
Why are Christians so selfish these days?”
I stayed quiet for a moment, then replied gently:
“If giving away a seat is the loving thing to do, why doesn’t one of you swap with her and sit downstairs?”
Silence.
Nobody moved.
Nobody volunteered.
And in that moment, I learned something important:
Many people admire sacrifice when it costs someone else.
But wisdom is knowing that saying “no” does not make you less like Christ.
There’s a phase you get to in life life,
all those hymns you sang in your childhood as mere songs , starts making total sense
Because what a friend we really have in Jesus ?
Me: Holy Spirit, please wake me up to pray at exactly 3am.
3:00am sharp, I suddenly felt a tap. I jumped up, looked around… nothing. I went back to sleep.
BOOM 💥 another tap! I jumped again, this time grabbed my phone… 3am 😭
That’s when I remembered what I told Holy Spirit… I just said, “Chai.” 😫
He doesn’t forget. He keeps perfect time. He truly has your best interest at heart.
Honestly… He is your best friend.
If you don’t know Ragnar Lothbrok, Ivar the Boneless, Bjorn Ironside, John Shelby, Thomas Shelby, or Jon Snow.
If you don’t know that “a Lannister always pays his debts,” or “By order of the Peaky Blinders,”
If you don’t know Klaus Mikaelson and Elijah Mikaelson
Or Michael Scofield,
Then we cannot be friends, because what on earth have you been watching??? 😭
