Looking Back- Women where hath thou!




Looking back, makes you smart.
Looking forward, makes you mature.
Looking down, makes you wise.
Looking UP, makes you strong.


The above short poem was compose out of the zeal to not just challenge myself to push forward but also bring to motivate and inspire other ladies out there going through the same dilemma on pushing forward either in as an entrepreneur, in relationship, at work place or even around friends at school.  No doubt it is always a good step to  look back, to reflect on how far you have come,  much as looking forward to place you imagine for yourself.

As a person, experience has taught me that no matter the mistake of the past which can never be undone, one need not dwell so much on it.   It doesnt matter what the challenges are, in this generation where women are rising and doing powerful things. They are impacting the world positively. They are showing up and making a difference despite the little or no so much opportunities. They are the evidence that having the ability to have children and raising a nation ( an Individual) is just a part of the wonders that women are capable of.

We are blessed to live in the times when women like Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Aisha Mohammed, are bashing ceilings worldwide. Oh it pains me when a woman, any woman is reduced to a womb or judged by the number of children she can birth. And yes, it is so awful to think of women as only child bearer's or as s*x machinery.

In our society somehow, the intellectual ability of a woman is most times conveniently forgotten, perhaps because too many of us readily conform to undue influence from husbands, family, in-laws, pastor, society to pretend to be less than whom we are.
If you read this today, I want to remind you Sister, that you are much more than your biology, You are a Person! You are a being, different and most of all a powerful tool.

You can walk whatever path you choose, you can even create the path if it does not exist. Never feel that you should conform to societal nonsense. NEVER!

You are a Queen, a Lioness, a warrior. 

Keep it alive and keep suaving. Today endeavor to take that step to become who you really are meant to be.
