You were never created to audition for love, you are worthy whether it finds you or not.

Switching your mentality from "Why is this happening to me?" to "What is this trying to teach me?" is a game changer.

Sometimes, the greatest way to honour the women who came before us is to build lives they were never given the freedom to imagine.

To do all the things we desire and dream, no holding back!
To let go. To open gates and go fully crazy 🫶🏽.

When you go around the world and you learn about what people believe, you will be shocked! Belief is stronger than the truth!

A brainwashed woman defending her own oppression is more dangerous than an ignorant man enforcing it.

Even people caught driving under the influence are not publicly paraded and humiliated in this manner.
I sincerely hope this is addressed with the seriousness it deserves and that justice is served for every woman who has been subjected to such dehumanizing treatment.

If we are going to question the forces shaping people’s choices, we should apply the same scrutiny to ourselves. Who decides what constitutes “appropriate” dress, what is « authentically » Rwandan & what counts as cultural erosion rather than simply cultural evolution?
Another question is: at what point does encouraging critical thinking become paternalism?

RIGID CULTURAL EXPECTATIONS ARE UNREALISTIC!
The collision between conservative culture, the fashion industry and economic development should not simply be viewed as a debate about what people are allowed to wear. Rather, it should be about understanding what is appropriate in different contexts, where, and when.
A society can uphold values of dignity and respect while still allowing individuals and the fashion industry the freedom to innovate, create and express themselves.
I believe that every country needs values because they provide identity, preserve cultural heritage and strengthen social cohesion. However, as a society that promotes creative industries , we must recognize that fashion is an important driver of innovation, entrepreneurship and economic growth.
When fashion intersects with issues of public decency and social expectations, reasonable standards are important, but unnecessary or excessive restrictions can limit creativity, discourage designers and reduce opportunities within the creative economy.
Therefore, rigid cultural expectations are often unrealistic in a rapidly changing and globalized society, and a balance between cultural values and modern expression is essential for sustainable development.
I think one of the most heartfelt experiences in life is discovering that someone genuinely enjoys your presence. Not what you provide, Not your accomplishments. Just you, your thoughts, your energy, your existence.

You probably need to be telling yourself everyday : “ Whatever happens today, I will remain centered”.
