African women in general need to know that it's OK for them to be the way they are - to see the way they are as a strength, and to be liberated from fear and from silence. ~Wangari Maathai

About Me
- get zapped
- I enjoy the outdoors, where I gather much of my creative inspiration. I find it necessary to spend time in nature, for balance and sanity. Get Zapped is where I post my photos accompanied by quotes I find intriguing. Get Zen is for sharing my Illustrations, design work, poetry, and other creative outlets. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh yes!
and this african woman says 'hear hear'.
indeed. and not just african woman...
I agree but also all women everywhere. I look at the way American girls are torturing themselves to look "stylish" and the spectrum of eating disorders. We need to renew the women's movement everywhere. Things are getting almost, "The Handmaid's Tale" esque. Another, provocative and interesting post.
janice- :-)
4ey- right on!
polona- indeed!
princess- you know, I agree with you, it's easy to get complacent and think we've "made it", but I see what the younger women are doing and it's not all that progressive. Thanks for your input!
My African wife already knows this. She tells me every day. :)
I think you know how i feel about this one dear friend.
It is so important, especially in cultures where the voice of woman is stifled or held back in any way - to support, to empower to show women that they are the future of this world.
Love and blessings to you my friend,

Stephen- you are lucky and so is your wife ;)
