Women’s mental health and gender equality in business.

Recently I had the chance to attend the women’s mental health and gender equity in business. 

✍🏾 Gender equality gets you in the room, gender equality sits you at the table.

We still live in a world where women are not still the way they deserve and are worth to be treated, yet women especially mothers are some of the most hardworking people that you’ll ever meet.

Imagine a mother with twins how she manages to work to support the family and raise the kids at the same time. You might think that it’s probably not that much of work until you see your wife doing that or another woman go through that and she knows that she’s got to do that because she loves her children so dearly.

We shouldn’t view people only by their genders because you could be a woman and still be so much more capable than most men and this goes both ways. Rather treat everyone like they are human and if you want to test or know their capabilities and not base ONLY on the fact that they are a woman. There’s a lot more to consider rather than just considering the fact she is a woman. 

✍🏾 Having two ends meet.

This is something that both men and women work on and in the long run it’s so worth it. How do you get to spend 8 or 8+ hours at work and still make sure that you have an amazing time with your kids. Here’s the thing: it's not about the quantity but rather the quality. If you are with them even if it’s for a few hours, be such a great mother to them that tho you are not with them for 3,4,5… hours they still find you the most amazing and irreplaceable mother to them. Cut their nails, do their hair, read them stories, the list goes on. Make every time you have with them is quality time.

Mothers you got this and to everyone that’s  yet to be…learn and don’t forget that we never stop learning. Be a mother to your child/ren and make sure that you are such a good mother to them. Have your morals but those that you’d be okay with if your children had them and that you’d be glad of who they’ve become. Ladies that are yet to become mothers…don’t forget that you’ve got to work on yourself before you feel like you have a responsibility about another person's life, your baby, your children because in the end, you give what you have not what you don’t have. So before you become one, what do you have to offer to them? This is something that we all need to ask ourselves regardless of our gender.

Daughters, mothers, wive, husbands, sons and fathers, if there’s something that you’ve got to work on, you got this because this whole thing is a journey, don’t be too hard on yourself but don’t be comfortable with not moving forward or anything near comfortable of not doing all you can to become a better version of yourself for you, your family and others that you will reach with that version of you.

Love y’all and 

God bless.
