Humanity doesn't exist

I will always remember that twice a week, around the kitchen table, my sister would sit down with my dad for hours, and they would try to work out her math homework. I should mention that my dad is an artist, and art teacher. Truth be told I think he struggled with math just as much if not more then she did. But twice a week you could hear them downstairs, going back and forth, trying to figure it out together. Some nights would be smooth and easy, some nights I could hear them arguing from one floor up about factors or equations, not in anger but in mutual frustration.

I remember the day that she passed. My sister couldn’t wait until my dad’s school day ended, so she called him at work. She gleefully announced to him “I got a D-!”. We could hear him through the phone as he exclaimed “She got a D!” excitedly to his class. Still through the phone we heard his students clapping, laughing and whooping in congratulations. Seldom has a grade in our household been so celebrated.

“Westernized hospitals have become en vogue for many parents, despite the facts that these facilities are breeding grounds for innumerable debilitating pathogens and that contemporary hospitals routinely mandate anti-African and anti-woman practices. However, by kneeling on the ground to give birth, as mothers do in traditional Yoruba society, the mother’s labor is aided by gravity, and she is able to work and move with her contractions rather than be immobilized by pain or numbed to her body’s and her child’s needs. 

The posture she assumes when giving birth also magnifies her divinity and her Aje to the extent that whenever she assumes this posture to utter a curse or make a request after giving birth, the Earth and Cosmos will make her words manifest.”

Especially important to remember that when males started becoming the doctors delivering babies, women were not allowed to go to school or become doctors. so this further pushed women out of the birthing place and allowed for male doctors to do things like force women on their backs to deliver (I could go into how midwives started becoming associated with being “dumb” “dirty” “low class” immigrant women because they weren’t formally trained at schools and how that even further pushed away women from this space buuuuut that’s a discussion for another day……).
