What we always need is to speak for ourselves,attimes we don't really need a feminist to speak for us that our voices be heard........we need to off that ancestral garment of "that is how it has been,from generation to generation" to "I can do better,and i will"

Because we are a woman;

W - we are WONDERFULLY COMPLEX

O - we OWNS our identity

M - we are MOTHERS,MENTOR,MAKER OF CHANGE

A - ADAPTIVE & RESILIENT

N - NURTURER OF DREAMS.
