Dear Somali women (the swing vote) - understand this:
As fluid as qabil majority and minority is, is as fluid as you're dominance in the qabil context. One day you're your father's, the next day your'e valued on the basis of the offspring you bear to carry a lineage

You are mothers, have sisters , will have daughters and they too will have daughters. Towing the line of exploitation and repression because you 'presently' benefit with crumbs that perpetuates the exponential damage, to YOU too, only advances further injustice.
At the core women are educators, healers, givers and trailblazers. High time to do away with the hypnotized mentality that continuously relegates women as thespians and maestros of poetry for a few who only collude to further marginalize you, your daughters and all women folk-
perpetuating the invalidation of your concerns, voices and contributions to matters of the day- all while they hide behind the kaleidoscope of shawls. That is your glass ceiling.
SPEAK and realise- quickly- that true value is when every1 is treated fairly, equitably, and valued.

Nothing is static- not even YOU. Empires fall, power shifts but the bottom line is you as the SWING vote- can demand for justice & equality for all & working 2gether for every1 ensures this can be sustainable- Only IF ofcourse demanded as the norm and safeguarded 4 all.
