My mom always tells me in Igbo, “Put your head down, you’re a woman!”

I was so closed minded I saw it from only the narrow angle. But as I grew and then came across the adage, “Fight like a girl! Think like a woman!” I was struck.

Till now, my mom still uses that but now it’s my kid sister. For some reason I haven’t been getting it as much. But my sister does now. Hehehe.
