For Us Girls - Young & Grown

I would tell my daughter this - as we continue to commemorate The Official 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Campaign I would tell my daughter this....and i'd tell my girlfriends this too. So here goes the telling, the reminding, the passing on-ing...

“when the boys pull your hair and push you to the ground

during recess
I promise not to tell you that it’s because they like you.
when the teachers call home to tell me that
you pushed them to the ground in return
I’ll take you out of school early and buy
you your favorite ice cream.
when you get older and the boys
try to touch you when you don’t want to be touched
I’ll look at you like the sun when you come home
with anger in your fists.
they all tell you not to fight fire with fire
but that is only because they are afraid of your flames.
when the boys yell after you like hyenas
you yell back, baby.
I will not teach you to be afraid of your anger
so that you look for it in others.
I will not make you be the better person
because you already are.
you wanna fight ‘em? fight ‘em.
don’t you dare apologize for the fierce love
you have for yourself
and the lengths you go to preserve it.
when the boys try to tell you to soften up
I hope you make them bleed with your edges.
I hope you remember that you are not theirs
that their disappointment in you is not yours.
when the boys come to your door with pretty words and
angry eyes
I hope you show them the anger in yours.
I hope you show them just how strong your mommy
thinks you are.
I hope you show them the animal they can’t always
see in their own reflection.
when the boys come with the intention of hurting you
my advice will always stay the same, my darling:
give ‘em hell.”

POP. POWER OF THE PUNNANIE. POP

I am interested in women, women and power, women in power, women who yield power over men, i am interested in women, and better yet their most magnanimous element, the PUNNANIE. This was inspired by a conversation my aunt and i had concerning my young cousin who for all purposes likes to share her......well you know what. Now, low self esteem could be one prominent reason, another being that she just enjoys sharing her body, or she has at a very early age just learnt the power of her PUNNANIE in exchange for whatever material thing she deems important in her present teenage life. Queen Eve, mother of all creation, utilized her feminine charm to lure Adam, oh the man that he was, to also bite into the ''forbidden fruit'', and the piece of apple remains lodged in this throat till today. Now, i am been flippant, to all religious people reading this blog bare with me, for my non-heterosexual readers, bare with my hetero-normative perspective- i am getting to the point.

The Punnanie, is used for alliances, the exchange of a beautiful woman forges connections and loyalities that will run for centuries. The Punannie, is used as a destructive tool of war, enter a woman without her consent (rape) and the repercussions is that an entire community has lost its honor and thus considered 'weak'. The Punnanie is the only human organ that can bring upon shame or pride to a family. The Punnanie untouched can be sold for a million dollars on the internet, it is EPIC income generation. The punannie untouched brings honor to a family, a community, a nation. The punnanie can induce madness in a man. The Punnanie is a billlion dollar industry-PORN. The Punnanie is watched, controlled, surveyed, cut, snipped, held, sucked, kissed, licked, loved, mutated, mutilated--divinity sprawled for inspection. The Punnanie is political, is identity, is fluid. The Punnanie, an entry way into the womb of life creation and thus the nucleus of the universe, ancestral, powerfilled, channel into the spiritual, an energy so elusive and yet to tangible that it has merged life and destruction perfectly.

This is for my young female cousin:

 He the young man who seduces you with words and smiles of love but chooses to know your body before he speaks to your mind or spirit is a man who knows the power of your punnanie, your body as creation. He the older man who hails your youth and adorns your with your material desires and is in a state of madness over your vulnerability, your tenderness soft,  your body as a bud yet to bloom, a nectar yet unsucked, he knows the power of your punnanie. He/they know the value of what your posses, but dear do you? Do your know that you can heal, cease wars, born life, love a warrior love that no ammunition can summon, do you know your power? You who seduces the young boy, young man, older man or men WHY do you do so, do you know? How are you using your power for self growth, self elevation, self affirmation of love and divinity? Do you know the power you possess within? The power of your punnanie?

Use it wisely.

fambul dem this is how we do.....
