I
have the privilege of raising a girl that brakes with most presumptions and
conventions about what a girl is supposed to be and do. She is fearless, hugely
physical and ridiculously strong.
I
also have the burden of bearing witness to the heartbreaking reality that other
girls around the world have to live.
Today we celebrate the second day of the girl under the theme
"innovating for girls education". I want to focus on the girls that
are fearlessly breaking molds and expectations, defying convention and
redefining the rules. I want to celebrate the girls that are unique, different
and unusual.
As
parents we are both their teachers and role models. May we be strong enough to
let out boys and girls live up to their full potential, whatever that
may be. May we be wise enough to lead them to a better world than the one
they are inheriting
A lot of it is on us. That's all I'm saying
