Since today is International Women’s Day, I say TWALE to all market women. Who work sun rise to sun down, with no help or assistance, who endure shame, ill treatment, discrimination, the scorching sun, all to make sure she is able to provide the daily necessities. I see you and you must be recognized amongst women who have caused change, who have moved mountains based on gender inequality. So, for some reason this traders in the local market has changed the perception that men can do it alone. About 60% of genders you find in the local market are women, suddenly everything seems to have revolved, probably because of the inability for men to keep providing **maybe* Now she’s the father figure, she provides, nurture, she’s a fighter, her zeal only got stronger, a no slacker, a builder, from her mud house she raises a better tomorrow, the striking sun or the heavy rain are not enough to deter her, her soothing voice is enough to calm the storm, she’s not backing down she’s not giving up cause the only thing she could really think of is “How my family go chop”. Mostly she’s a mother, sweet, caring, loving mother. Sometimes i call them encyclopedia, bet you if you a bit confused about steps to take, you can meet this #marketwoman it’s like she’s been there all the while waiting for you. You know, the greatest similarities between these women is that their reasons for struggle.
I tell you these women passively or not has instilled great discipline in me that my momma couldn’t do alone. Married or unmarried you make the world a better place by your conscious effort to provide not just for your home but the globe, like i always say a market trader literally controls a nations economy.
