Priscilla I come to you today with an embrace of love. You have been insulted, castigated, accused, dehumanised…a lot of all ills have been said about you. I bring calm to your spirit and self.
As a young lady aspiring to lead nations and already leading millions of girls in the world, I am sorry my sister and mother for all the bad channelled towards you in the recent past.
Forgive us all, forgive us for not understanding that you sailed the treacherous, patriarchal ship of politics that crowds out women and shuts their voices with brutal stereotypes of weakness. Yet you sailed with grace.
Forgive us for pointing fingers at you for not delivering what we deemed was a simple articulation yet increasingly a complex picture. Forgive us.On behalf of a critical mass of progressive cadres pushing for girls and young women to lead, I ask that you don’t back down and crush, but you remain in the spaces of power to straighten the crooked.
As we heal as as nation, I pray you heal even in your spirit. You are beautiful none can take that from you. Much Love
