After reading my favourite mad Kenyan woman's take on the ills of tradition This washington post article on Rebecca Lolosoni was an eye opening illustration of the pent up courage of the African woman.
A Place Where Women Rule, isgood case of where the right questions with regard to tradition and culture are being asked.
But my concern is when this battle for rights will be clouded by the allure of self sufficiency & autonomy -> the number 2 reasons for the erosion of family unity. Si tutafute UMOJA?(which is ironically the name of Lolosoni's village)
African Family values are in jeorpardy, and no ones talking about it. Watch the divorce rates skyrocket in the meantime.
