I'm 22.
Honestly most of my flexes can't fit into one quote.
Anyway,
-I graduated at 21 with a degree in English last year from Babcock University.
-I was top five in my department.
-At 19, I co-founded @AsEqualsAfrica
as a way of providing a safe space for female creatives. -At 19 too, I interned with @Wimbiz as a comms intern.
-That year too, I protested at the We Will Not Be Silent Lagos protests on gender based violence.
-Still that year, I was made the Vice President of my department in school.
-I also got invited that year to panels with TEAW

Healthwise.
-My periods are stabilising and it seems my ovarian cysts are gone.
I still have to do a check up to confirm that PCOS has fled from me.
-In a healthier and more stable state of mind than I've been for the past three years.
-My hair is healthier too. Work wise.
-New job as an editor.
-New freelance role with Document Women which is a dream come true if I do say so myself.
By the way in all of this I've not done NYSC and I think it is a heavy flex that points to my ability to pull in favours and wealth.
-More referrals too.

There is hardly anything empowering about sex work.
Know it and know peace.

There is hardly any difference between paying a woman's brideprice to her father and paying an often trafficked woman money of which most goes to her pimps.
Know it and know peace. You can't speak against bride price as an African Feminist under the pretext of "Women's bodies are not commodities to be exploited".

You cannot speak against bride price as an AfriFeminist knowing fully well putting money on women's bodies excuses men for marital rape.

The most important thing you can give a girl is education to me.
Not just formal education to gain financial independence,
but educating her to be self reliant and confident.

I’ve encountered women who have first class degrees but stutter when it is time for salary negotiation. It’s not exactly their fault cause I’ve been there.
When you live in a society that says that your degrees are nothing without a man or says that you are only worthy of a sliver of respect if you have a ring & are meek,
you don’t know when it transfers to how you make decisions.
