Happy International Women’s Day

 

My dear woman

It’s another world women’s day 

What has changed?

More women are finding their voices,

Occupying places and positions of power.

More girls are coming to the realization that they are more than the tags society has given just because they have a labia majora and estrogen coursing through their bodies.

Men are acknowledging, women can be more than just their wife’s in the kitchen;

or mothers tending to their needs 

or sisters they taunt, always needing protection.

This girls, women can really be great if they want to.

their capacity now, has become a function of their will.

This is indeed all exciting to see

But this, still, isn’t enough!

As we step out of the background into limelight 

We are only stronger when we do it

Hand in hand with each other

For in unity we are stronger.

As an average guy will have his guy’s back

So should Women embrace love for each other.

Only then can we take the world to its knees;

A world of stereotypes, discrimination and disadvantage to the female gender.

Keep in mind, our course isn’t against the male gender

As some has made it to be in the name of feminism 

But against the biased system.

Though, true, our counterparts can be play a part in empowering the system through their actions and inactions.

Let us also be conscious of the fact that, women can as well do the same 

Especially when the want for self comes at a cost of others.

For they also, have suffered the stereotypes as we have

So, we should stand in unity with them

To effect a change that is bigger than we could imagine

A change that is beyond genders.

Let’s us stay true to the course

And not trade our true course for its misconceptions.

You’re not clear on this, ask questions 

This in no way makes you smaller

Because only the bold inquires knowledge.

And knowledge is power!

Finally, remember 

You’re strong

You’re resilient

You’re bold

You’re brilliant

You’re kind

You’re resourceful 

You’re an achiever

You’re a woman and so much more!

Keep being amazing and stay beautiful

I love you and I’m rooting for you alll the way❤️
