I have a story, a bit gory but dates back like a nineteenth century storey
There was a young girl
I could still see her face in the dark filled with enchantment and spark
I could trace the fascination on her face
As the voice of Frank Olize fills the room
Never understanding the words he says
But enjoying the fluency of his words resonate like the sounds of birds
Enjoying the flawless hoarseness of his voice
She watched as he read the news on NTA Newsline
That young girl was fascinated with journalism
A symbolism of a thriving career

Here was a young girl with expectations that struggled
With acceptation in the house all cos her dreams of becoming a broadcaster
Will make her unsuitable for suitors
"Ah broadcaster? Mabnu!"
The voice of her mother reverberated from across the room

Here was a young girl with dreams made to lose her self-esteem
Taught to cower and shrink like she will soon be extinct
Tutored to accept that society has no place for her
Except in the kitchen and the other room
Wanting more, she was afraid she will not be accepted anymore
Accepting that a university education was only a decoration
To the many yards of 'wife material' a woman is expected to be adorned with
She waited for her admission and certification as a B.sc holder in the other room

Here was a young woman who came to the realization
That unlike what she was taught
A new narrative has emerged for women across nations
Brought by civilisation
Fast forward to years down the line, I realize
I am woman; I will not let myself get noticed because of my titties
Hanging from my dress with no brain to handle the game of chess
I am woman; I will not let myself get branded by society's definition
Of beauty with big booties achieved by going under the knife
I am woman; I can write compelling stories filled with glory
That break to pieces barriers limiting women like Chimamanda Ngozi-adichie
I am woman; I can thrive in broadcasting like clear career path like Funmi Iyanda
I am woman; I can rule the finance sector as a director like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
I am woman; I can run the oil sector like an inspector
Runs the police post like Adefunke Sharon Kasali
I am woman; I can communicate and articulate my thoughts
In a thousand languages through photography like TY Bello
I am woman; I can fly international aircraft without witchcraft like Adeola Ogunmola
I am woman; I can join these great female mentors
To redefine success not as confessed by our mothers
But as redefined as them.

You have so much potential in you
Which is existential to your moment of daring.
If they can
If I can
Then you can DARE to become more
Because we are women
