Fascinating, Emily. Thank you for sharing the story of Sharon. What an amazing woman and a brilliant project you are helping support in Kenya. I'm thinking about what you've invited us to share: our equivalent to picking corn kernels from the cob. I'm interpreting this as an invitation to share the slow, methodical everyday stuff that makes up a (domestic) life, and so I'm going to say brushing you daughters' hair in the morning and before bed. At night I plait it and then tuck it just so into their silk sleep caps. It's become such a lovely moment in our routine, and so I thought I'd share it with you. Wishing you and yours a great International Women's Day, and let's continue to elevate the stories and lived experiences of women in the global south in particular in this time of climate emergency.
How sweet! I imagine that's a memory they will hold and cherish for years to come. I want a silk cap! And someone to plait my hair. I also appreciate your heartfelt comment about sharing and uplifting the stories of women like Sharon who face immense challenges in the midst of climate, economic, and health crises.
