Coco Gauff: "I'm not going to apologise for the way that my hair looks because there are other girls who have the exact same hair as me.
"My hair was good enough for a high fashionable brand like Miu Miu. If my hair is good enough for that, then yours is too."
Right on! 👏🏾👏🏾

Some shocking revelations about the appalling treatment meted out to our National Women’s Football Team @Banyana_Banyana, which has now resulted in the premature retirement of star player @jermaine109, with others considering the same.
How do we save our ladies from such rot??

Suppressed anger creates inflammation in our bodies. Chronic inflammation causes autoimmune disorders. Being “good girls” being pleasant, polite, “easy” making us sick. Forced forgiveness (when it’s actually denying our reality) is making us sick.
May we stop conditioning young girls to not have boundaries— and to put other people’s comfort before their own.
May we heal by teaching people *why* they’re angry, by showing them how to express it in healthy ways, and how to create as a way to release it.
