Do you know why I talk about sisterhood and women uplifting women A LOT? Because every single day, I witness what it feels like to be supported by women who don’t know me.

Here’s something that happened recently: A DANG community member was at a popular store to buy stuff,
this store has branches in almost all the states in Nigeria. As she shopped, the manager of the store asked her what perfume she was wearing, she said she was wearing Zeus by DANG. The manager had no idea what Dang! Lifestyle was but this community member gave her all the details
she needed, asked her to go to the website, that we have so many other products available, she went further by recommending that this store stock ALL DANG products as it will be good business for them.

Guess who’s in my email right now discussing as a potential stockist?
No, I’m not advertising Zeus today, I’m writing this to tell you that your brand can’t stand alone without a trusted community, especially in this clime where you don’t need a brick and mortar store to thrive.

I created this in 2017, it was not a walk in the park,
it’s still not but I can safely say that we have here, a community that backs up the DANG brand.

You’ll be shocked to know it’s not really all about me. I’ll tell you more on Saturday when we meet at the “Make money online doing what you know” webinar with Tricia and me.

May you find people that speak up for you, even when you’re not in the room.

Amin.

#Throwbackthursday to September 26, 2017.

My neighbours moved in over two weeks ago and we haven’t officially met. I say officially because I see them through my window as they drive to and from work. I have seen them, I just haven’t met them.
The couple seems quite reserved, I wonder how they go to work in the mornings without giving each other a peck or a smile. Yes, I watch them, I watch everyone as they go out in the morning. It is kind of my morning ritual.

Because I have manners,
I take a small fruit basket with me.

Knock. knock.

I’m at the door, announcing my presence but there’s no answer. I’m sure they’re in, they drove in at the same time earlier this evening.

Knock. Knock.

“Who is there?” I finally hear a muffled voice from the other side.

Flashback Friday to when I was a drama Queen.

Bobo was away in the abroad, I hated that I couldn’t reach him as much as I wanted to due to time zone, plus he was there for work and extremely busy.

When I send a message at 1, he replies at 4. I was seething but calm.
On one of those days, he had just gotten off the phone, I remembered something so I called him back almost immediately, he didn’t pick up.

HAY GOD! There’s someone in that abroad he’s seeing. I mean... how busy can he be? Didn’t he just get off the phone with me?
My brain wasn’t processing that it was noon where he was and he probably had gone back to work.

This man now began to give me missed calls like 5 hours later. Did I pick it up? Nope. M

Me sef I was busy on my bed watching scandal.

Nonsense!

Knowing me, he sent me a message...

Basic Etiquettes Part 2.

1. When someone gives you a compliment or does something nice, the best response is a simple “Thank you.”

Please don’t put yourself down like, “Only me?” “Ah, this cheap Tshirt is nice?” “This my wowo face?

Stopeeettt!
2. When someone takes you out on a date and pays, don’t ask how much was spent, don’t try and grab the bill to see how much was spent. Thank the person for the meal and take the memory with you.
3. A handshake should hold for more than 3-5 seconds. Don’t hold on to anyone’s hands and leave them feeling entrapped. If you have to continue chit-chatting, let their hand go!

Your shake should end before the oral introduction exchange does.

Here’s why Don Jazzy could announce his newly acquired home -arms spread right in front of the house to indicate enlargement and space- without backlash but a woman who does the same would be dragged for bragging and probably sleeping around to be able to afford such.

I remember when I was younger, many of our aunts and mothers’ friends bought houses secretly and left the house to their children or sold the property(ies) to take care of their children when necessary.

The boys knew it, the girls knew it, we all accepted this as normal.
Why did our aunts and mothers see the need to buy these properties albeit secretly? The basic human need for independence,to be your own person, to have something that you can record as yours and yours alone.

Many boys and girls grew up seeing this and interpreted it this way:

It was the 90s, everything good happened on Sunday-night-Tv, especially for kids and families. However, Sunday nights without power were the worst days for us, especially because not one flat in the compound had a generator.
No generator meant the parents had to entertain us which wasn’t a bad idea in itself, except that on this day, I was itching to share special news with Ngozi, the first child of our neighbour, mama Ngozi.
As we all sat in the living room listening to Mama share her childhood story with us, my mind left the present, all I could see was Ngozi telling me I was too young to wear a bra, she said all the boys would think I was too old and they wouldn’t toast me. I ran upstairs,

Let’s talk about the “good girl syndrome” today.

Turns out, many women have the desire to be thought of as easygoing or being raised to be a good girl. When you investigate deeper, you find that they’re more interested in looking like a “good girl” to men, not to everyone.
Even when you know it’s time for GBAS GBOS and then some, you do everything “right” to avoid any conflict or, “get in trouble.”

Aunty, come off it!

It saddens me that, after all these years of women's increasing independence and power, so many women still live their lives,
seeking validation from another human just so they can be seen worthy and/or acceptable to date.

When you don’t get the expected good treatment, you say things like, “I guess good girls always finish last.”
