I heavily related to this article. Although, for me I can’t help but feel as thought I tried being perfect and strongly desiring perfectionism as the oldest all while being imperfect at the same time and self sabotaging relationships. But, I’m learning and growing and glowing
The pleasure is all mine. I’m glad we have a safe space to share our most intimate experiences of life and we get to heal from our past trauma as black women.
It’s good that you’ve taken control of your own life and its direction. Being the first daughter can be challenging in African families.
Thank you Dey. It can be quite difficult for sure.
It's a lot of responsibility!

It's such a conundrum - the push and pull of it all! At least we're all becoming self-aware
Thank you for sharing your experience Ketsia. After all it’s the imperfections that compliments our experiences in the most beautiful way.

Oof! This was loud. Thanks for sharing.
