In filming the latest episode of my podcast with Aunt Sadaka, we faced numerous challenges. However, I had made a promise to myself long ago to start with what I have and produce content that I personally find valuable.
Aunt Sadaka is someone I deeply admire. She has the ability to not just speak with you, but to speak into your soul. When I reached out to her, I knew I wanted to delve into the topic of self-love, something I had been struggling with for a long time. It’s incredible how finding love for oneself can be so transformative.
We finally had our sit-down this month, coinciding with Women’s Month celebrations. As I prepared for the episode, I couldn’t help but notice the abundance of comments online, especially from men, regarding Women’s Day celebrations. While organizations were vocal about inclusivity, I observed a lack of championing movements from men.
I want to make it clear that I’m not a feminist in the traditional sense, but I strongly believe in women’s empowerment and its positive impact on development. It’s about equality and fair opportunities, not about being the same as men.
Women have always played crucial roles in shaping homes, supporting spouses, and raising children, all while pursuing their dreams. However, amidst our strides, I worry that we may be losing touch with our femininity and traditional roles.
This episode with Aunt Sadaka shed light on how she, like many other women, managed to balance career aspirations with familial responsibilities. It reinforced the notion that we can do it all, but it requires humility, exercising feminism, and practicing self-love.
As we celebrate Women’s Month, I want every woman to know that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. We are not here to compete or replace men; we excel at what we do best. Happy Women’s Month!
