Celebrating Womxn Warriors: International women's day

Today we celebrate the rigorous essence of the fairer sex, the relentless goddesses who have and continue to row towards the total liberation of not only them who were and are deemed as the inferior but the entire liberation of the African nation. We draw inspiration from these prowess’s that mourned not at their tribulations of their sought liability in society but chose to not solely take their position but owned it with confidence and grace.

To us who live in the scrapped existence of these women take heart in their palatial presence which still lingers even in times of ingrained patriarchal societies believed as the norm. We acknowledge the continued misconceptions of women liberation waving their way around neo-colonialism, capitalism and imperialism however always seek to change the status quo. Understanding that emancipation of women along with the total liberation of the African nation can never be separated, we also know that this exists exclusively as an Arcadia than reality; we shall be the ones who bring the mirror reflection.

The inequality that has perpetuated for centauries left us to think that our only existence as women is that one given credibility by the man. We have infinite gratitude to our brothers and forefathers who fought to mend this broken mirror, Thomas Sankara who spearheaded the liberation of women with no fear and favour and fully understood the double violence the sits with the female, Malcom X who consistently reminded us that a society’s growth or regression is seen in the face of its women and many other unsung sons of the soil who saw it not as the next person’s responsibility to uplift the dignity women but as their own we are Indebted to your courage and thankful for your fortitude.

Today we remember the goddesses, the so called subtle sovereign rulers. Through our contemporary fight against injustice in all aspects we remember Nehanda Charwe Nyakasikana (1863–1898) from Zimbabwe, prominent leader in the First Chimurenga, Against British colonial settlers have may her oracle spirit of Nehanda continue to dwell in Zim. Elite troops women soldiers contributed to the military power of the kingdom of Dahomey in the 18th and 19th century, in the times of‪#‎OutsourcingMustFall‬,‪#‎FeesMutFall‬ and the entire fallist movements we cry for their bravery and selflessness.

To,Angie Elisabeth Brooks(1928-2007) born in Virginia and was a diplomat and jurist crippling the status quo of the limb positioning of women in society.Was chosen to become President of the United Nations General Assembly, the first African woman to hold this position. She was also appointed the first female Associate Justice of the Liberian Supreme Court, revealing to us that we are walking revelations of living miracles. Indeed we can fight and study at the same time!! Miriam Makeba, Queen Nanny, Sojourner Truth and many other Fairer creators who set a very staunch and stead pathway for us may we not only learn from them but be our own warriors. May you rise up and learn that your role is not confined to reproduction, that you are not a crutch to someone’s empire but are combatant of change.

YOU TRAIN A WOMAN YOU TRAIN A NATION!!!
