Shout out to all my ladies who celebrate their birthday in August with me. We proud "Winter Babies" .
For interest sake, the word 'August' also means celebrated, acclaimed and respected.
The month of August in South Africa is labelled as Women's month. Its our way of celebrating some of the countries remarkable women. Women like Nadine Gordimer (Novelist), Sophia Williams- De Bruyn (Women Rights Activist) , Proff. Helen Rees (one of South Africa's top female scientists) and Thuli Madonsela (Public Protector) are just some of the remarkable women .
There's also a remarkable women that I will salute this month...my mother. Yesterday we commemorated her death. It has been 9years and yet it still feels like yesterday that we enjoyed our first and last proper holiday in Durban. I was sad, tears was flowing and flash backs haunted me but what I remember the most was her radiant smile, golden heart and wise words.
So what am I saying ?
Treasure your mother yes, but also treasure the remarkable women who's in the frontlines , fighting on behalf of us, women.
We salute the Mothers of our Nation.
