Hi there,
My name is Omonye Akhigbe and I’m a woman like you, A Nigerian
woman to be exact.
Happy International Women’s Day!
I am very excited about this day and my excitement increased
when I checked the International Women’s Day website and saw a pledge from my
CEO and many others I admire. I am excited there’s a buzz about this day today,
as is every year.
As I meditated on what this day means to me I realised
something; it’s important what we say as women, but it is almost equally as important
what we wear.
I’m a woman and whether I chose to admit it or not, from
generations before I was born, I have always been judged by what I wear.
Fashion fads go and come, but over the years, women have worn predominantly two
outfits, hope and then faith.
