Why African Women need more credit
Quality family time is very important especially in our wifi technology filled generation
But then family events though ugh! How exhausting. I live in Africa by the way and here, well, let's say everything is kinda done in proportions. Imagine any event you may organize be it marriage, baby shower etc. in your country, outside Africa, and multiply everything times ten. Literally everything and everybody is all over the place trying to put things together and the worst part is women literally do all the shit while men just seat around and just wait for everything to be done and on time or else they start complaining.
I know this sounds like a cliché statement but hey women and especially African women need to be given more credit for what they do. Most of them hardly even complain or see how uneven their roles are compared to men.
But what strikes me the most is that in spite of all these it is always very gratifying for them. Our mothers whether housewife, business woman or formally employed, find their best achievements in their homes because taking care of their families and kids is their way of expressing their love and devotion for the biggest pride of an African woman is her home.
