As we celebrate women entrepreneurs’ day, I can’t help but think about the huge amount of pressure women still face to get married to someone successful, especially in this part of the world.
I still remember how my parents used to make fun of me because I studied a lot, specifically during the time I was conducting my master’s degrees.
They thought it was pointless for me to continue my education as I already got my law degree, and that it would be much better to focus on marrying a successful man to secure my future, let alone the society around me!
I only got married at the age of 31, and I did it not because of all the pressure I was put under, but because I was convinced that if it wasn’t him, it won’t be anyone else.
I always insisted on being my own source of strength, instead of looking for it somewhere else.
To all the young ladies reading this post, you can surely be that CEO they all wanted you to rely on. You can be the powerful person they all want you to hide behind.
