Dear Women Who are “Too Loud” and “Too Much”
So, here is some Gender Studies 101. Throughout the history of the world, the majority of cultures around the world treated women as second class citizens.

The saying goes “A good wife is a quiet one.” Women should not have an opinion about politics, jobs, money, leadership, property, etc… A woman’s role was to know how to be attractive, household skills, a good wife, and a good mother.

Find Your Inner Queen
Every female struggles with finding herself and it takes time for us to figure out who we truly are. I struggled for years and years trying to find myself. When I was younger, I always tried to fit in and be like everyone else. This led me to make up dumb lies just so I could have similarities with others.
