So many women ask, "What does it mean to be a women?," when the answer is simply in their own question.
Editor-in-chief of Women Of More magazine, Michelle Washington, held a couple events for her summer series bringing women together that are either contributors or fans of the magazine explaining the definition of women and the journey towards it. Some of the contributors included Dr. Cherita Weatherspoon and Tynetta T. Brown. The in-depth discussion became not only educational, but a tea-spilling chat.
When the topic of women was brought up, the "Women of More" didn't hesitate to mention the concept of "having it all." For a lot of women that means a husband, two kids, a cat , a dog, and a big house. For some women it could mean having a career while being single. For other it means being a housewife. Believe it or not, they feel all of those lifestyles are correct. It's because "having it all" starts with the women herself. "Having it all can be what all means to you," said Weatherspoon. The ladies end the conversation on a self-love note explaining that women tend to detach from what's inside because we forget about our worth. Therefore we should allow the challenges of our individuality build our confidence.
When the topic of relationships and interactions came up, Certified Agent and contributor, Waynna Dobson, had a bright perspective on how the role of the men in your family play a part in your view of men and how to be treated. What stood out was the fact that the attraction for a "bad boy" is a subconscious desire more so than the direct correlation between daddy issues and non daddy issues.
She explained that while being raised by her grandparents, even though her grandfather was an excellent example of a man, she still gravitated towards the bad boy type of guy. It point out the concept of women needing that protection and security that women tend to think only the bad boy can provide. Some of it stems from swag and the way some men handle certain situations that can be consider a turn on for some women. Examples included the tone of an argument, how a guy physically fights, and his way with words and how he speaks to a women. This conversations definitely added on to the overall message of self-love starting with the women first and then having everything else fall into play.
Women of More is doing whatever they can to spread the love to hopefully reach out to more women to have more self-love.
