So who exactly is an ideal African woman? What does society expect from her? How is she evolving? Is the evolution in her favor? Given a choice would you rather the African woman or the modern woman? What are the challenges she faces?

What’s the first image that comes in mind about your ideal African woman definition. No wait let me go first , definitely someone in an Ankara, outspoken about her beliefs, a firm believer of a higher being,a mother,a wife,a submissive,loving ,caring ,hardworking female with a nurturing soul, strict about taboos and so forth. I could go on and on and on and on but you get the picture right?

Over time the African woman has evolved tremendously. A gender that was viewed as inferior has fought hard for their rights . Gender discrimination,domestic violence,early marriage,female genital mutilation,wife inheritance …although this acts have not been done away with completely ,we can agree that a significant difference has been made.

It’s time we respected the modern woman’s decisions . The modern woman has adapted a new way of living generally . She is slowly doing away with her roots . She wants her skin bleached, she wants her gender ” replaced”,she does not want to have children till she’s done with her studies or not at all ,she wants to get rich quick and at any cost ,she wants a big a** and a tiny waist . She wants so much more than was earlier offered to her. She is ambitious .She is intelligent . She is a go getter.

We may not agree with half of her opinions and that’s completely okay.

We need not be violent about it whatsoever.

She has done so much to be where she is now. Cut her some slack .

People are resistant to change but that doesn’t stop it from happening . The African woman is metamorphosizing .She is transitioning 🙂
