    Can we have am AMEN 🤩❤️🥰😍😍🥰 I have this conversation countless times everywhere I go! In the UK where I live, it is the obsession with Mrs so, and so 🙃 🙄🙄 Then when I came to Kenya, it is Mama so and so..... I had had so many debates with my peers in Kenya when they dared to question my reasoning and alluded that I am not proud of my marriage/ child!!! Having a child and being married is not AN ACHIEVEMENT!! We can be proud wives and mothers and still stay true to our individual identity! Thank you, Kitt and Apondi, for making this clear..... Hope everyone watches this video, I will certainly save it and share it 🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am proud to be a mum but that is just one out of many identities I have and I didn’t want it to take over all other identities. I can’t imagine introducing myself as mama so and so. Lol!

Most of us aren't addressing ourselves by our names because we're not proud of who we are or don't want to face who we really are because we're not happy with who we are (yet?).

    Interesting topic. That is the value placed on women. If you are someone's wife, someone's mother you are valued more. Women even embrace this to a large extent and tend to dis- enfranchise those who don't fall in these groups. Hence the pressure placed on women by society to stay in bad marriages because they would rather hold on to that perceived value and acceptance.

    As a child I knew the names my Grandmas from both sides of the family, Zilpa and Penina.
    But we addressed them as Dani and if we needed to specify which Dan in their absence, it would be Dani Penina or Dani Zilpa.
    We also had Dani’s sisters who we referred to by name and Kwaru’s sisters who were referred to by Waya so and so, so we has Waya Sheri etc.
    I always introduce myself as 'my name' not my father’s name unless it is a government office that needs all my three names.
