2,500 years of white male colonizer indoctrination have you believing that as a woman...

​

You are not enough and should be more and better for everyone else.

​

You are too much and should be quiet and be a good girl.

​

You need to keep everyone around you happy or else you will be reap the consequences in some way.

​

You need to keep your truth hidden and stay silent lest you be harmed for your opinions.

​

You have to rely on men alone to feel safe, but you have to give them your power to protect you (or not).

​

You cannot say NO lest you offend or elicit anger in someone.

​

You cannot express your anger and passion lest you be labeled a "b*tch"; you are only allowed to submit to your sadness.

​

You don't belong and no one really wants you or cares about your contribution.

​

Your sole purpose is as a wife and mother, and you are not allowed to have dreams outside of the home.

​

Your value is dependent on the perceptions of everyone around you, and how you uphold those perceptions.

​

You need to be in competition with other women in order to survive and claim the finite resources available.

​

You are careless and not to be trusted with wealth.

​

Your intuition and emotional intelligence are not  valuable; you are stupid unless you are "book-smart."

​

​

Holy Sh*t, ladies.

It's time to shift the narrative.
