Indigenous Women's day 2024
Indigenous women taught me more about womanhood than I ever learnt growing up.
They know their inner strength,
they’re rooted deeply in their intuition,
they understand the power of sisterhood.
They are the mothers, healers, grandmothers, midwifes, artists, leaders.
They are the heart of the family, the communal ceremonies, the community all together.
They are the peace makers.
They do everything together, never alone.
They are entrepreneurs, they are wise and strong.
They are anything but helpless.
I’m grateful to be in their presence every day!

My Sandawe family. Mother child and grandmother.
Grandma is a midwife, Mother is a healer& shop keeper.
Baby is both my son and my baby brother.
Don’t ask, African family relations are complicated…
