White women, are the protectorates and keepers of white supremacy

[aishabellasbigblogofeverything]

And this is what I mean when I say that white women need to stop pretending that their form of oppression is the be-all, end-all for all women(such as their rejection of femininity) including and not limited to being a stay-at-home mom.

makes it to 24 . on this Thursday night, a major part of the crowd at Inema arts centre consisted of expats, visiting artists and tourists. I was finally in a space where I felt I blended in enough to not have as many curious eyes on me so that I could move around more freely. nonetheless, I had a handful of chats, one bottle of skol then went straight to bed. makuyiskathi sokulala yisikhathi sokulala, mabebs. anyway, a few weeks later... makes it to 24 ♉🎈 (at Inema art center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxk6GDyjM16/?igshid=d6shlrbi8p3y
