Erykah Badu told us to pack light and most thought it was about luggage.
She meant: stop carrying things that aren't yours.
His shame. His insecurities. His inability to see your value. None of that is yours to carry. Pack light.
You have places to go.
Well, when a child is conceived, the DNA split is 50/50 from both parents. Except for one small detail: mitochondrial DNA. It’s passed down only through the mother and never through sperm.
Which means something interesting: all living humans can trace their mitochondrial line back to one woman, not one man.
And every daughter born continues passing that same line forward.
Happy Women’s Day 💐
