There’s a common saying that Kenyans say to each other when crying and that is “don’t cry”, and it is the least soothing two words to tell a person in pain. I don’t know if it’s something that’s commonly said across Africa but the toxic idea of being a strong woman hinders our divine feminine power and the blessings that follow. Thank you Lindiwe, this was wholesome.
Am crying as I continue listening to this amazing woman 👩🏽 it’s great to realize yourself and have time for your self to think what better for you and you your self
How deep & emotional yet so inspiring. One of the best engage talks I've ever come across. "strength is not crying..but the power of crumbling...& rise up"
This reminds me of my mum passing on when I was soo young.. The pain and the trauma, and nobody willing to share or walk with you was hard to overcome. Years down the line I.e 18 years plus, I had to seek counselling to overcome this. I'm on my recovery journey and I hope it works out to me amazingly. Thanks Lindi for sharing this🙏
Wow, I do not know you Lindiwe but thank you for choosing to face the inner you. Reminds me of my own identity getting lost when my famous mother died and my father and church folks forgot I was not her nor will I ever be. Your vulnerability as a woman is what we all need, so as to allow ourselves to break when our souls are hurting otherwise you'll fall apart. Then getting up from it and the journey ahead may be slow but worthwhile. Your sharing about your story has given me courage to keep fighting to live and be. Am in therapy and finally I see the light within. Your humour made me smile and your daughter is learning from a truly inspiring soul. Asante
RESPECT. I have known pain and I have fought that "Be strong" "Don't Cry" sham. Bravo my sister. Vulnerability is Strength to me too, and authenticity is the most bae to pursue and live unapologetically. Warm regards to all
Absolutely Lindiwe!!. Your last word is the greatest lesson we all need. There is power and strength in being vulnerable and honest accepting the reality 🙏❤❤❤
Allow yourself to breakdown to build up. I believe it's okay to be vulnerable and let that pain out instead of reserving it defining strength coz you actually explode in unknown ways. Thank you for sharing your strength.
Wow, great story of resilience despite very tough times. It teaches us a lot. Thanks for sharing. I love it that you say strength is allowing oneself to be vulnerable. Great lesson.
Just beautiful. I am sorry to hear of your pain. I love your authenticity. Thank you.
I have listen to her 3times, eloquence is on point👌🏻
So she’s 41? Wow you ageing gracefully 🥰
'the beauty of strength is actually crumbling' this is deep. Such a beautiful emotional story

True, I hate it when people say that. And "be strong" to someone that's grieving. As if crying is a show of weakness.
It's a common African thing my dear. Very irritating.
its because swahili is an impoverished language
@@jesseludenyo6436 interesting perspective. Makes a lot of sense.
I could not hold back my tears. Lindi you have a way of mixing pain & humor in your story. That is the uniqueness that you are.
