A Letter To My Daughters On Women's Day

My dear daughters, this is a big occasion for you and every woman on earth. Because the whole world has chosen to celebrate you on this day.

But as you are growing, do well to remember these commandments;

This life owes you nothing as a woman
Neither does this world
You are smart and capable on your own
Earn everything you want and wish for in this life
Do not take crap from anyone, whether a man or a woman
Do not cry Infront of anyone who does not like you, my dear daughters, for they will laugh at you and despise you
Never expect things to be easy or smooth for you just because you are a woman, everyone in this world; weak or strong have to make things happen for them before they can succeed.
Remember that to make it in life, it will take much time and patience. So wear patience like an armour when things don't go well for you as you planned
Be gentle,  be sweet but always remember to speak bodly, stand strong and be ready to pull up your skirts to wade through difficult waters if you must....

Love yourself enough to attract the same love from others and from the man you wish to marry in the future.

And remember this, you are responsible for whatever happens to you!!!  And not others.

Always remember, I will always be here for you as your father and your counselor.

Happy Women's Day my darlings.

I love you!!!!

Your Competition

Just remember, your competition isn't other people Your competition is; Your procrastination to getting important things done Your ego, that makes you think you are above everyone else Your unhealthy eating habits and health choices The knowledge you neglect because you think you know it all or because you think others don't have an opinion on a matter because they are not intelligent The negative mindset and behaviour you're nurturing because because you think you are not worth something Your lack of Creativity. Failing to explore new ideas or try new things because you think you will fail or not succeed again. You're not in competition with anyone but yourself.

How To Treat A Man

Men are often stereotyped for being weak or soft if they show their love or affection openly. But the truth is, men also need love too. Men need tender loving care and affection and attention just like women do. Caring, showing love and affection and giving attention is not only about women. It is about men too. Men also need early morning calls, just for their women to tell them sweet words too, encouraging words to carry them through the tough day they are already having or that sweet short text message you can send him just for him to know you love him and you are thinking about him. This is the reason why most married men  turn their attention to slay queens and side chicks looking for this kind of treatment. And not necessarily for sex. So from now on, ladies, start also calling your men and husbands, tell him sweet words, encourage him and inspire him,  learn to compliment him on his good looks, what he wears and appreciate with much admiration what he does for you....

The Blueprint To Racism

In this moment of a very dark chapter for all the black race across the globe, I began wondering what the death of the late American, George Floyd really meant to the Black African in America and in Africa. While thinking about this, my mind went back to an audio I have of a college graduation speech  that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave in Detroit in the mid 1950s. In his speech, the first thing, he asked the students and their professors (I imagine black and white people seated) was all my dear black people gathered here, I am asking you today ..... what is your blueprint at this moment? Nobody answered or said a word. He went on to tell the graduating students to work very hard to find their purpose in life. And not to play second fiddle  to anybody whether white or black, hispanic or asian. Because every human being here on earth is special and created uniquely by God, each of us giving a special talent or gift. He was giving this speech, following a similar incident...
