Women Taking Up Space; Part 3 - Young Generation, The Lady Behind The Heel!

The epitome of women succeeding is still based on men. I mean men don’t even have to say much, society on its own has labeled us women as people who can’t make it without assistance. “behind every success man is a woman” why must I be behind you? Why must I be your tail and not your head, why must I be your follower and not your leader? 

We won’t deny the fact that the bible reminds us that men are the providers and we are the nurtures however we will also not look away at the fact that God created us in His imagine. When we read the bible we see how creative, artistic and multitalented God was and is. So that means we as women also have those characteristics embedded in us. Society having to learn and unlearn some of the things that oppress us is still a challenge as we “society” still have a narrow mindset about certain things. 
Women are constantly fighting to take up space in their respective industries and in most cases the people that look down on them, deny them of opportunities are women. I don’t think we are anywhere near ‘women empowerment’ I don’t even think we understand what women empowerment is. It’s like fighting against GBV through marches, campaigns and ad’s that only touch or address a minor group. “the country is ready for a female president” how? If a mere woman is fighting against both men and women for recognition.

The millennial generation is the only generation that can help and make “society” aware of these societal norms that are unrealistic and oppressive. Only we can make the necessary change that we desire so much. Only us can create a society where our women can reach their full potential without feeling pressure to prove themselves to men and other women. We still have a long journey to go but with the small changes we are making and with the small steps we are taking we are heading for success. Voices are being taken day by day, visions turn into dreams we dream at night merely because we are constantly having to prove our greatness to the world. 
All I’m merely saying is women please take back your power this women’s month! Shine to all the Queens!

Why do I crave a relationship so badly? This is a question that many people ask themselves, especially if they have been single for a long time or have experienced repeated rejections or breakups. It is natural to want to share your life with someone who loves you, supports you, and makes you happy. But sometimes, this desire can become so intense that it causes you to feel anxious, depressed, or desperate.

How can I grow my connection with God?

Image
One of the most important aspects of growing closer to God is learning how to communicate with Him. But sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between your own thoughts, God's voice and the enemy's voice. I used to think that God's voice was always loud and stern, telling me to stop sinning and do better. But as I spent more time with Him, I realized that His voice is actually gentle and comforting, His voice fills me with peace, joy and confidence, while the enemy's voice tries to distract me, make me doubt and confuse me. And my own voice is often stuck in the middle, wondering "Is this really God? God, if this is you, give me another sign". The Bible says in Psalm 145:18, "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." And in Matthew 6:33, it says "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Here are some tips to help you strengthen your relat

How do I stop being so available?

Being too available in relationships can be a sign of low self-esteem, fear of abandonment, or lack of boundaries. It can also lead to resentment, boredom, or loss of attraction from your partner. If you want to stop being so available and create more balance and harmony in your relationship, here are some tips to help you: - Recognize your own worth and value. You are not defined by your relationship or your partner's approval. You have your own interests, passions, and goals that make you a unique and interesting person. Remind yourself of your strengths and achievements, and celebrate them. - Set healthy boundaries and respect them. Boundaries are the limits you set for yourself and others on what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. They help you protect your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Communicate your boundaries clearly and assertively to your partner, and don't let them cross them. Likewise, respect your partner's boundaries and don't try t
