Happy new year everyone!
I'm really glad to be a part of 2013. I only hope it'll be better than 2012.
Anyone whose familiar with beyonce's hit song 'We run the world' can instantly see the 'girl power' message she tries to pass across. So with all her vicious moves and badass attitude in the video, the question I'll ask is- Women, do we really run the world or is my girl B just trying to sell good music?
Here's the thing, I was chatting with my friends and we were discussing life in the entertainment business. One of my tatafo friends brought to our attention some sizzling gist about this beautiful Nigerian artist who apparently is messing with some married top politician and some other 'big boys' in the entertainment world. I was in awe when I heard the news. I mean she's s super talented, does she have to do that? I asked myself. However, my friend was quick to reply with this "shes probably trying to be at the top of her game, theres a lot of competition, so she needs the connection and financial backing" another person was like " for women, you don't make it standing, you make it lying down". Lawddddd! That hurt, I swear. And they went on and on.
In my quiet time, I took time to reflect on the different things the girls talked about. Can women only make it lying down? Take a minute to digest that question. For a brief second, I thought about a few successful women I knew and I shook my head. So really, do women run the world or are we really subjecting ourselves to be ruled by men?
Please drop a line.
