So I've always battled with a tender scalp. This means I feel excruciating pain when I make my hair or even as little as pack it up when it is undone.
For everytime the pain kept me up at night after making my hair, I would dream of cutting my hair and saying bye to the pain. That always stopped as a thought because I was afraid of looking ugly. So I became unconcerned with the state of my hair and was most times seen in a bandana because I dreaded the pain each time I needed to make my hair.Years passed and I guess with the years came wisdom and confidence so this weekend with my brother and little cousins standing by my side and my mother and sister on a video call, I cut off the pain. I've never felt more beautiful to be honest.
Break the bias. This theme is for you.
For you who thinks you have to stick in that relationship even if you're facing pain, perhaps scared of being alone.
For you who has not applied for that scholarship because you think you'll not be picked anyways.
For you who struggles with accepting that you are precious, loved and powerful.
Break the bias. Shatter the glass ceilings. We'll be cheering you on.
Happy International Women's Day
