Celebrating the women around the world
I celebrate women everyday. All women. The women's month of 2020, I specifically acknowledge the women who have gone through a lot in the lives with or without knowing their lives were down the drain.
I am going to cite two examples of such women in my life at some point. One was a school mate. A leader from her first cry on this planet. She was a leader at school and before dropping out in her second year in high school, she led the student's body in the country. Life was not fair to her, but she braved on. She cried all she could, did odd jobs...she put herself together, went back to school as an adult learner. She excelled, was elected or appointed a leader in her area representing at a district level. Now she vies for a bigger position in the upcoming election and with her intellect, I hope her people choose wisely because she will represent them like our leaders should.
Another is a very beautiful girl I knew from childhood. She ended up on the streets as a prostitute. Her father and some family members disowned her. Others would say she was bewitched. She came back home after a very long time with support from the mother. She bore a child during those street days.
Today she is settled. She was actually married properly acording to tradition. Her mother wept hard on that day, because she never believed it would ever happen. Today she is an amazing mother and wife.
I could go on, but just know that our past cannot, should not define us. We can propel into a beautiful meaningful and fulfilling future.
Remember and keep telling yourself "I am enough, I can do this", keep it positive sister!
A very happy women's day!
