Mothers, Enlighten Us

I was at a meeting for young girls a while ago and the speaker asked how many of us knew how to calculate for our ovulation. 
I raised my hand boldy as per opor ti  ju. We gather dey. Only for me to scan the crowd of about 200 people if not more with a large smile on my face and.. I've never lost my smile real quick
 You cannot believe or maybe you can that only about 5 person's had their hands up. Okay, I was like is this playing? Because, it can't actually be the truth. 
My mom taught me this when I've not even gotten my first period. So, you can understand my shock welgen I saw this magic happening. 

I can only imagine how it would have been if my mom didn't tell me about how I was going to get my period before the deed. I might have ran to the clinic crying that I was losing an obscene amount of blood from a particular place in my body. I mean, I was just in JSS2, I was 11 so it's very possible but because I already had prior knowledge, I was expecting it and I was actually so calm. I already had everything I needed. 

So many young girls do not know certain things in their bodies that are actually very necessary. 
Please, dear mother, I feel that you should be the closest person to your growing child and that way, you can intimate them on all of these things without it having to be wierd.

The truth is, if you don't tell us these things, we'll learn it either way but you know where the problem comes in, we might learn it the wrong way and it becomes a problem. I don't know why it's hard to speak about these things with your children. 

Tell us, or someone else might inform us wrongly!

Untill next time, peace. 🕊️

P.S: I think there's really a lot to talk about on this topic. It's been on my mind for a while. I'm glad we get to talk about it.

They're scared of you little black girl, When you walk the streets with your back pack on your back, When you hold your head high in your well ironed shirt and your skirt swishing around your knees.  They feel intimidated by you but you don't even know it.  You try to compare yourself to them little black girl, you try to be what you're not, when indeed you're certainly all you'll ever need. Your beauty and awesomeness robs them of their speech but you don't understand little black girl, that they want to be like you, hell, what they wouldn't give to be you but you're just thinking you're a wannabe. They envy you, when you put your gloves on and keep fighting, when you protect and defend your dignity and when you give your best for humanity. You don't know that they're scared of you little black girl cause your blackness is so immaculate and enchanting. Never think you're not enough little black girl, because your DNA consists...

A NEW MONTH, A NEW OPPORTUNITY

Life, in all its unpredictability, has a way of teaching us lessons when we least expect it. It challenges us, stretches our limits, and sometimes even breaks us. Yet, in the midst of it all, we find the strength to rise. We find the resilience to keep going. And we find the power to embrace new opportunities, even when they seem daunting. This past month has been one of learning. To find peace in the chaos, to celebrate small victories, and to recognize that growth isn’t always about moving forward at full speed. Sometimes, growth happens in the quiet moments, in the pauses between the noise. It’s in the decisions to keep going, even when the road seems uncertain. I’ve come to realize that every new day, every new month, is an invitation to be better, to do better, and to live with intention. It’s a fresh start, an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and step into something greater. And this month, I choose to embrace that with open arms. These are my sincere prayers for...
