Dear Woman,

Talent will take you places, but good character will keep you there. You need to know who you are, stick to your principles and be disciplined in whatever field you find yourself in. Do not be swayed by society or naysayers that ridicule what you feel is right for your brand, or by people that discourage you when you are confident in your discipline. You can never ever please everybody, so you do what you can and you do it well. That is all there is to it. To my fellow girls, we need to speak up and know our rights. If you don’t, you will live a miserable and unfulfilled life in a bid to give unreciprocated love or please society at your own expense. Let us help each other as sisters in this tough world; the power lies in our hands. But above all else, let us be responsible for our own bodies and lives, because no one is going to do it for us.

We only have ourselves.”

Love,

Anna “Chibaby” Honde
