GIST: ”I Look At Other Women More Successful Than Me, And Start To Feel Insecure” - Toolz

Bill’ by the senate.
In a lengthy piece she shared on
Instagram, she wrote:
”I joke around often and try not to
get too into my feelings on IG,
because it’s easier that way, but this
made me think quite a bit.
What is it about our society that
makes tearing each other down the
first thing a lot of women think to
do? (Not every woman btw)
A lot of women were appalled when
the gender equality bill was thrown
out, but after talking about it
extensively on radio and
everywhere else, I came to the
conclusion that we as Nigerian
(African) women have a lot to do
ourselves before things can change
positively.
I’m not preaching here, as I’m still
working on me but I hope we think
more about what we are doing for
the next generation of African
women.
Sadly a lot of us have been
conditioned to think of other women
as competition as opposed to
comrades. I honestly believe that a
lot of the conditions we face in our
communities are down to us failing
at looking out for each other.
Imagine how powerful we would be
if we were able to come together
better?
Every now and then I look at other
women more successful than me,
and start to feel insecure, but I’ve
learnt to change that energy. Now I
get so inspired…I think if she can do
great things, so can I….I think ‘she’s
doing great, so I better get my sh*t
together and move up this success
ladder.
As much I love what I do, being in
the public eye sucks sometimes,
because it can be difficult dealing
with being torn apart a lot. I’ve been
doing this for about 7 years, and it’s
still makes me sad when I get hate
from women.
I thank God for the positivity, but
sometimes the negativity has me
thinking I need to go some people’s
houses, sit down and figure out
where the hate is coming from. Like
did I steal your inheritance or
something?
I digress, but just think about it…
the spirit of the African woman is a
powerful force. Imagine how we
could change things if we stopped
tearing each other apart and came
together.. in a society that already
puts you at a disadvantage just
because you are a woman….. You
learn to deal with it the best way
you can, but I still think women that
constantly tear other women are
unhappy ***Essay Over***
