Hopefully Beverly tries to put her phone down next time. Gen Zs have done a lot normalizing poor communication etiquette and it’s extending to other generations. Sad 🤦♀️ It was so disgusting seeing a gen X being disrespectful to her colleagues.
Today, I am at loggerheads with most of the hosts. Firstly, femininity isn't about makeup, hair, nails and dresses, it is an essence. So i am in agreement with Bev mostly. I would advise that we look up the story of Gabrielle Chanel aka Coco Chanel, a fashion mogul, and reasons as to why she made pant suits. This view of femininity has somewhat seemed shallow. Secondly, being a girly girl doesn't necessarily mean you are embracing your femininity. For instance, one could have a body type that looks exceptionally great in pants; both in suits and baggy pants. To add alittle more on this, some women are most confident with less makeup or none but their essence speaks volumes. Lastly, some women for instance, those in STEM, certain colors of clothing arent practical in the field. For example, you wouldn't expect one to clean a transformer or check the car engine wearing pink. It is illogical. Owing to this, I will quote Bev or rather paraphrase, there comes a time(s) where being a nurturer, soft, empathetic wont be applicable so embracing qualities such as assertiveness, dominance etc would suffice. All I am saying is that we, women are an embodiment of very many contradictions: you could love wearing the dresses and then also like wearing the suits or pants too, you could like wearing a full face of makeup but also love being all natural. You could be a girly girl but also the mechanical engineer at site. In all these scenarios, you are embracing your femininity. You are a wholesome feminine woman in every scenario not in some that society deems fit for femininity. Otherwise, thank you for the show.
Well said! In addition (copied from Wikipedia) To what extent femininity is biologically or socially influenced is subject to debate.[3][4][5] It is conceptually distinct from both the female biological sex and from womanhood, as all humans can exhibit feminine and masculine traits, regardless of sex and gender
Thank you….. feminity is something innate and so deep right down to your dna…..i think my ladies needed to do alittle more research on this so we work our way up…..
For the period that God desires for BumpLove to be in existence, one thing you can be assured of is that He will bring the right women for the season to be co- hosts on this platform.....that you can be assured of
Thank you Berverly. Femininity is not about how you dress, makeup, perfume. That was quite shallow. Its about embracing your womanhood amd bringing your God given value to society
Im a doctor in Zambia and for the longest time, medicine in Zambia has been male dominated. I quit my first job because of this. Because I was a feminine woman. I wore basic makeup - foundation, powder, eyebrows and mascara. I wore my perfume and my "happy coloured clothes" and it was frowned upon so badly, they let me know that they did not approve of me. As a young 24yr old doctor who was fresh on the workforce not yet able to stand her ground, I felt like i did not belong. Or like i wasnt good enough to be a doctor. I quit. When i started ny second job i promised myself that I would not change who i am or what i like or what i look like to fit the mould. Take it or leave it. As long as my employer doesn't mind my appearance, everyone else will have to deal with it. (Nothing inappropriate, just normal work clothes but in pinks, corals, yellows and bright colours, perfume and a face looking like i woke up at home and had time to care for my appearance - and some still frown upon it. But now i dont care, it doesn't affect my ability to do my job.)
This for me is it...... if we are to embrace women in the workplace, can they please remain feminine. Can we not have to be more male to be in a male dominated industry?
So let mi kunyumiza u, there r things in my family i found i was stretching in yet i was a woman. We stay in a hilly place so id drive family home ,whether slippery or not ans everyone would cheer me on until i said. No, this aint for me, t was risky, i now decided to relax. They either drive me or ride me home i reach when am sober and happy. I thank u bump love. And of late, i embraced changing hir styles, make up and also painting my nails. The confidence is giving. Blessings ba dia.
Beverly is a highly intelligent woman in this conversation, she is my kind of girl and her definition of the fruits of holy Spirit and femininity resonates with me.... The world makes up all these things & defines for us what femininity is. If you are a woman, you are a woman period.
I struggled with my femininity growing up. I fell in love with my femininity after coming across Pastor Mildred and some other females on social media during COVID and then finally bumping into bump love (pun intended). Im not strong and independent anymore; I'm strong and dependent on my dependable husband.
The way I love Beverly, she's such a critical thinker and mature in her appproach on the show. I also miss Nabachwa my O.G and Rosette from the earlier shows
Eleanor was amazing, especially how she handled the "pink vs black suit" issue. Listen ladies, it's not a fashion show but a workplace. Come in that black suit (if that's what is acceptable) and deliver. You have all the time to rock those colors off work. Let your results speak NOT your wardrobe. Bravo Eleanor! And how Manuela addressed femininity - biblically was phenomenal. Thank you Ma'am.
To Mukyala Mulondo. Once on your RUclips channel, you told us your journey to femininity and I loved it. I will never forget it and I always looked forward to watching those lessons on RUclips. I miss your lessons, I know you explained why you cant have them anymore. But you don't know how many lives you impacted by just sharing your stories with depth. Thank you for being vulnerable so that lives could be changed.
This is my opinion; Femininity is an energy and it's exhumed through softness, gentleness, warmth and can be enhanced by smiling, wearing intentional outfits of a certain make that enhance physical feminine attributes, radiate color, wearing jewelry, etc., sitting/standing in particular posture, speaking eloquently but calmly, etc. I don't see it as something imposed on me as a woman, I see it as something that works for me. There are some female roles like pregnancy that make a woman effortlessly feminine, nurturing that comes naturally but there are some situations where we go extra to incorporate our feminine energy. This may seem shallow but it's how I understand femininity.
Could we kindly request guests who are single, unmarried, divorced, single parents, muslim ladies, older women.. A range of people, please.*DIVERSITY*, not always the married ones.( No offence) A lot of the mentioned people are empowering despite their status and have made a phenomenal difference in life!
But the guests here have not been brought due to their marital status, or have they? If they wanted to talk about divorce or singleparenthood, that would then apply. 🤔
I’ve loved this episode! You ladies are brilliant and make such valid points. Eleanor’s energy gelled so well with y’all’s. She should be hosted more often, if not co-host😅
Feminism is being comfortable in your own difference,embracing your strong points. Acknowledging that your differences do not make you superior or inferior,they make you beautifully different. Beverly, brings it out so well.
I agree with Mrs. Nabwiso. Not all men love dark colors that much but if that's the dress code, they show up, make money and wear their orange shirts and Kitaka shorts else where same goes for your pink floral suits! Where them appropriately. Then I'm inclined to agree with Bev. Being a woman doesn't equate to being feminine. These are mere traits that are learned or embraced along the way. Some host formerly being tomboys is a testament to that. So femininity isn't being a women. Heck! There're some more feminine men as Bev said. Thank you for the show 😊
Has Eleanor come to stay or you gals just hosted her....I wish she could stay, she would be our Pumla here😂😂 i need someone who will always have an otherwise option in the room.... otherwise the bump love is getting to it's 🔥❤❤❤❤
I've listened to everyone and everything but our message must be clear to a varied audience... Let's be women of value and this will fulfil our purpose in all spheres of life.
Thank you for the beautiful conversation It has blessed me ❤ Me personally embracing femininity started by letting a man open for me the door and yeah it feels great. I love you ladies But Eleanor we miss you guys i hope u are cooking something for us to glue us on our screens again.
I bumped into Barbara last Sunday and I must say she is such a beautiful soul, very down to earth I couldn’t believe. Ladies you doing such a great job. Just know most of us just be in kamoli but you be speaking to the us in so many ways, you’ve saved marriages, work relations. The list is endless. Great job in summary
Manuela thank you for explicitly elaborating the difference between feminism and femininity. I now see the reason as to why say for example when a woman is talking more frequently during a meeting, she will start apologizing before making a good point that she feels she can make. She will start saying stuff like "I'm sorry I'm over speaking but what I want to add is........." while a man would own that space with confidence. I think we can be feminist with utmost femininity.
Reading comments also 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 I have to choose between reading and watching in between of the conversation. I love both the hosts and comment section Ekilala Manuela please saw in me this year's APPG Session as a bumb lover plizzzzzz 😢
I so agree with Beverly.... Its about values and inborn girly traits which have to be shaped by God. As for the makeup, long nails, weaves and wigs am not sure coz i see the generation of the women rhat gave birth to us didn't have all those but they were women of substance
This conversation is driven by society and worldly perspectives of femininity. I believe simply, besides being a woman, that femininity traits are being organized, clean, nurturing, caring, concerned, available for other peoples concerns..natural feminine attributes. Yes, including having a woman's crown (hair) and not wearing 'men like' clothing. High heels, makeup and popping colors are besides the point.
What you mentioned above is exactly what femininity is all about. So personality has nothing to do with femininity. You can be loud and be feminine or shy or quite and still be feminine. Not to compare but the previous hosts would come more prepared for the topic and not just bring their own opinions only.
Can we have Eleanor more and more. she addressed the topic directly with specific answers. she speaks to us the Tom boys who are trying to be feminine and showing us its importance. Please lets have her more and more
I agree with the guest lady on distraction, ladies let us dress decently to emphasize our inner power. Have also liked her generally, kindly bring her more often. Greetings
😂😂😂😂the end part of Eleanor. Thank you so ladies for sharing wisdom with us. I must change my mind set sometimes I have forgotten that actually I am a woman in doing things
Love me some Manuela always… Eleanor stole my heart from Sanyu days..love her accent.. looking forward to when the ladies host Dora Mwima..all love for the ladies🫶🏾
Emmanuella your experience was just like mine ,,, having to wear makeup for the very first time and the heels too💃💃💃💃it was cool in the process I really enjoyed my introduction ceremony
This tire thing Manuela is saying is accurate, it's the most of men that feel the way Brian feels. Women should understand this. I share in this opinion
This is such a nuanced topic! I will deep dive, thanks ladies for the varied opinions. I feel Bev insisting on the need of having value and reinforcing cos IMO the shallow idea about feminism caters more to outside appearances and gestures; which I believe is pushing some women to look/ behave like a seductive person, it’s giving the narrative to most women even teenage girls coming up that feminism is all about soft life, long painted nails, wigs, curves, boobs out and name the rest we now see on social media and this is what might be leading some womeninto that sponsor culture we see a rise in …..without value and looking all dolled up just seems like a bimbo, talk to sm pretty looking women and you hear no content, no skills just dressing up to look attractive. There should be more to that hence I believe Bev reiterating the need for VALUE I feel there is a very thin line in this feminism dogma if not well articulated in the realms that should be tailored to particular situations, it varies to the people you are speaking to and the outlook on how, when one feels & rest in femininity. Yes Manuela, it makes sense to rest in your femininity in ur situation and household to not change tires even if you can, conversely I have seen some husbands frustrated when their wives cannot take ownership and run things in their absence and feel more like cry babies instead of partners, also this take gets tricky for the unmarried or singles to not think they cannot run their affairs by themselves when need be and can only depend or entice men to do or run certain “manly” errands for them. Some women have chosen wrong partners just for sheer need of seeking physical help on certain things, car/home maintenance. In conclusion I feel different stages of life, personal situations, circumstances will require one to act differently and it might or might not be congruent to feminism feelings/standards/outlook
There is a lot of misunderstanding each other in this episode. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the episode, it’s very interesting how people can interpret the same thing so differently. I related mostly with Barbra’s point of the power women hold in being feminine but oh my… she was very misunderstood. Her opinion was very much blown out of proportion.
Thank you ladies for this insightful discussion. ❤ I think for me the take away is that we need to be very self aware and ensure that we are bringing out the right amount of energy (feminine or masculine) in our different roles and spheres or seasons of life. I feel that the fact that we as women are actually very flexible is what causes this debate. We can switch masculine and feminine energies real quick so we need to be intentional and always aware of which energies we are embodying, where, and how that affects the people around us. Because we need to excel in the work spaces, our homes, as children and parents etc. So my question is, is the blend possible or must we be feminine everyday all day long? What do y’all think?
I love the fact that Barbara emphasized more on gentleness and taking care of the children, home than putting on makeup short dress, lingerie brabrabra
I love to see these proud married women winning. Go go go galz.. bellah is proud of you . Beavery u are wise..mr emma has a gold at home. Everyone here is so unique in their own ways.,.i love u ba swilie
@@Nambozobev thank u mama for not being proud like these other celebrities. Am so happy for your reply... It makes u so unique every day. The way u have knowledge in books, I have learnt alot from you. I believe one day to meet u... U inspire us alot. thank u galz for embracing bump love.
Eleanor and manuela r ryt on point, feminist is a fight and not a good one but you don't need to be feminist to fight for a cause.On the other side Feminine is energy for both male and female,although society expects it to be stronger if your female.
Femininity is more like being able to relax and recieve, its having boundaries and sticking to them,its energy. its not about what one wears or the doing of nails or hair naah it’s energy u knw there pipo who just radiate that magnetic energy like in their aura .its how they embody the energy.its how ladies take up spaces without even saying a word, there’s both dark and light feminine
This is one of those topics i don't understand....all i care about is am a WOMAN.. full stop 🤷💃... Thanks Barbara for the book you mentioned last time..
@@anonnona6433 I will still say Being a woman is an inherent quality bestowed by her creator, much like being a man; each individual embodies the essence of their intrinsic nature, not just social constructs or roles imposed by society but are integral to who individuals are at their core... I wear dress or not, am a woman, I make my hair or not am a woman, .. in whatever state... I am a woman,i feel like a woman 😀😃😄
1:14:16 that has been a very beautiful submission. I also believe a man and woman are different we're supposed to fit into each other's missing pieces. Damn, felt like bringing myself to the show to submit a few points about femininity and feminism especially from an Islamic point of view.
Some of us life has thrown a lot of challenges in our way that we have over tapped into the masculine side too much,I side with Bev on this,as long as value is there,once in a while I get to do what girls do but most days am on the go, Manuella you looked like a million bucks and the makeup was demure.
Thanx ladies. We now know what femininity means for you as women. How abt for men?. For most men it's abt peace (sanctuary) , being agreeable (minimal drama ) and coperative(respect his authority), fitting in his frame (put respect to his name, remember you are his representation) and supporting his purpose.
Ahhhh these food combos nei😂and you walk amongst us? Show was intriguing. For 2 years now, ive been trying to lean more into my feminine energy i do that by maintaining the tone of my voice being that i deep voice, embracing my natural softness for-example asking for help carrying something heavy even tho i could carry it by myself, smiling more, taking compliments, for dress code, some times i will dress in things that flatter my body more then sometimes i just want to be comfortable and free hence baggy pants and a shirt. I don’t like make up and ive never felt less feminine because of it.
I had a C-section first mom and the thing i struggled with my femininity is giving birth . I had alot of fear of going through labour pains of which i struggle with up to date . Hence said you come over it i now have a desire to have an experience of dat part of motherhood . Thanks for the show
We spent years running away from femininity but it's the one thing hundreds of women all over the world are searching for now.

Hopefully Beverly tries to put her phone down next time.
Gen Zs have done a lot normalizing poor communication etiquette and it’s extending to other generations. Sad 🤦♀️

On behalf of people who said that we miss the old crew, we are sorry.
Bev and Babra have fitted the shoes perfectly well
They did not come to fit the shoes though 😂😂😂... bev and Barbara shine different and bright

Oh my God....Bev said someone's watching from Hungary...and I am actually watching from Hungary😮😮😮....love you ladies ❤❤
Wow! Greetings!
Thank you Berverly. Femininity is not about how you dress, makeup, perfume. That was quite shallow. Its about embracing your womanhood amd bringing your God given value to society
I loved loved that statement

The best place i ever learnt Femininity from is Chimamanda's book Dear Ijeawele so femininity is not only about being a woman
The way I love Beverly, she's such a critical thinker and mature in her appproach on the show. I also miss Nabachwa my O.G and Rosette from the earlier shows
Bwolekaaaa, I miss the entire ex host. They were fab!,but I also really loooove Bev., she's an intellect
Loved the conversation... a big shout out to Eleanor, she should join the crew... I love Barbara's gentleness already!
Beverly is such a wise woman

Manuela that hairstyle was made for you ❤
Thank you
To Mukyala Mulondo. Once on your RUclips channel, you told us your journey to femininity and I loved it. I will never forget it and I always looked forward to watching those lessons on RUclips. I miss your lessons, I know you explained why you cant have them anymore. But you don't know how many lives you impacted by just sharing your stories with depth. Thank you for being vulnerable so that lives could be changed.
This is my opinion; Femininity is an energy and it's exhumed through softness, gentleness, warmth and can be enhanced by smiling, wearing intentional outfits of a certain make that enhance physical feminine attributes, radiate color, wearing jewelry, etc., sitting/standing in particular posture, speaking eloquently but calmly, etc. I don't see it as something imposed on me as a woman, I see it as something that works for me. There are some female roles like pregnancy that make a woman effortlessly feminine, nurturing that comes naturally but there are some situations where we go extra to incorporate our feminine energy. This may seem shallow but it's how I understand femininity.
Wow
Thank you
But femininity can also be fierce and protective……
I agree with you, especially about the softness and gentleness. A gentle man will never exhude it like a woman.
Well stated. The last words of your explanation states it well.
Today the show was 🔥, educative and funny all the way. Thank you ladies
I swear Manuela that short hair piece looks nice on you
Noticed it too, it should be her signature look. 🎉
Thank you
True
Manuela....i love ur shared thoughts on this topic! It has been topnotch 😊
Aaah, I loved this episode... Laughed so hard. All you women are brilliant ❤❤❤❤
Could we kindly request guests who are single, unmarried, divorced, single parents, muslim ladies, older women.. A range of people, please.*DIVERSITY*, not always the married ones.( No offence) A lot of the mentioned people are empowering despite their status and have made a phenomenal difference in life!
But the guests here have not been brought due to their marital status, or have they? If they wanted to talk about divorce or singleparenthood, that would then apply. 🤔
We had pumla before
Babra says went through a divorce, Pumla was there, what are you saying
The ladies have been single before. they understand what it is to be single

To me, fminine energy is soft, warm and welcoming ❤ Thank you for this episode.
Manuela thumbs up on your comments on femininity and feminism.
Can we have Eleanor more and more. she addressed the topic directly with specific answers. she speaks to us the Tom boys who are trying to be feminine and showing us its importance. Please lets have her more and more
I love Beverly submissions
❤❤
One thing about Barbara, when people are having a back and forth, she will stay quiet.😂
Exactly😂❤
she actually mentioned one time that she would rather have you have it your way than going back and forth
Barbara is such a lady...*gentle*
She is also pregnant. She does not want to stress her baby❤😊
Wama and the way the camera guy is trying to hide but we have sharp eyes😂
I agree with the guest lady on distraction, ladies let us dress decently to emphasize our inner power. Have also liked her generally, kindly bring her more often. Greetings
😂😂😂😂the end part of Eleanor. Thank you so ladies for sharing wisdom with us. I must change my mind set sometimes I have forgotten that actually I am a woman in doing things
Long awaited gust❤❤❤ ... watching
Love me some Manuela always… Eleanor stole my heart from Sanyu days..love her accent.. looking forward to when the ladies host Dora Mwima..all love for the ladies🫶🏾

@@babramugeni2966 very much
Beverly I love you ! You explained proverbs 31 very well
You inspire me bump love ladies ❤
I jus love you guys. Have really enjoyed this one.
Emmanuella your experience was just like mine ,,, having to wear makeup for the very first time and the heels too💃💃💃💃it was cool in the process
I really enjoyed my introduction ceremony
I also found it quite interesting.....and I actually loved it..... and still do it
This tire thing Manuela is saying is accurate, it's the most of men that feel the way Brian feels. Women should understand this. I share in this opinion
Sometimes we need to ask men and actually hear what they have to say, not think what they should say....we would understand another better
@@manuelap.mulondo this is spot on, ask him what he wants, things, envision and how he feels about different things
This is such a nuanced topic! I will deep dive, thanks ladies for the varied opinions. I feel Bev insisting on the need of having value and reinforcing cos IMO the shallow idea about feminism caters more to outside appearances and gestures; which I believe is pushing some women to look/ behave like a seductive person, it’s giving the narrative to most women even teenage girls coming up that feminism is all about soft life, long painted nails, wigs, curves, boobs out and name the rest we now see on social media and this is what might be leading some womeninto that sponsor culture we see a rise in …..without value and looking all dolled up just seems like a bimbo, talk to sm pretty looking women and you hear no content, no skills just dressing up to look attractive. There should be more to that hence I believe Bev reiterating the need for VALUE
I feel there is a very thin line in this feminism dogma if not well articulated in the realms that should be tailored to particular situations, it varies to the people you are speaking to and the outlook on how, when one feels & rest in femininity. Yes Manuela, it makes sense to rest in your femininity in ur situation and household to not change tires even if you can, conversely I have seen some husbands frustrated when their wives cannot take ownership and run things in their absence and feel more like cry babies instead of partners, also this take gets tricky for the unmarried or singles to not think they cannot run their affairs by themselves when need be and can only depend or entice men to do or run certain “manly” errands for them. Some women have chosen wrong partners just for sheer need of seeking physical help on certain things, car/home maintenance. In conclusion I feel different stages of life, personal situations, circumstances will require one to act differently and it might or might not be congruent to feminism feelings/standards/outlook
Beverly 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 👏🎉🎉👏🎉🎉👏🎉🎉🎉🎉 am here on Saturday because Friday was my birthday 🥳🎂
There is a lot of misunderstanding each other in this episode. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the episode, it’s very interesting how people can interpret the same thing so differently. I related mostly with Barbra’s point of the power women hold in being feminine but oh my… she was very misunderstood. Her opinion was very much blown out of proportion.
As Barbara said opinion is like a nose..everyone has one
@@RuthButta and for that same reason I couldn't hold up on finishing the episode....
You should finish it.....and be graceful enough to embrace people with opinions different from yours and share yours too.....we will embrace it
On the rice and milk, I remember having that as a child, and sometimes they would add raisins to it. It tasted really nice.
Can Eleanor please join the show for good. She is smart and confident and still a feminine woman❤😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes, she is. 😊
@@Nambozobev she is now part of the panel???? Please say yes
Thank you ladies for this insightful discussion. ❤ I think for me the take away is that we need to be very self aware and ensure that we are bringing out the right amount of energy (feminine or masculine) in our different roles and spheres or seasons of life. I feel that the fact that we as women are actually very flexible is what causes this debate. We can switch masculine and feminine energies real quick so we need to be intentional and always aware of which energies we are embodying, where, and how that affects the people around us. Because we need to excel in the work spaces, our homes, as children and parents etc.
So my question is, is the blend possible or must we be feminine everyday all day long? What do y’all think?
Manuelaaaaa...you look stunning! Your make up is on point 👌. Now I can watch since I have gotten that off my chest 😅
👌 also wanted to say, but Manuela yabitugana 😂 Now let's watch and comment on content
Bwahahahahahahahaha, why do you keep doing this? 🤣😅😂
Thank you so much for being smart ❤. Let me now watch the show
I love the fact that Barbara emphasized more on gentleness and taking care of the children, home than putting on makeup short dress, lingerie brabrabra
❤❤❤

Excited already 🎉❤
Eleanor and manuela r ryt on point, feminist is a fight and not a good one but you don't need to be feminist to fight for a cause.On the other side Feminine is energy for both male and female,although society expects it to be stronger if your female.
Femininity is more like being able to relax and recieve, its having boundaries and sticking to them,its energy. its not about what one wears or the doing of nails or hair naah it’s energy u knw there pipo who just radiate that magnetic energy like in their aura .its how they embody the energy.its how ladies take up spaces without even saying a word, there’s both dark and light feminine
Ladies thank you for Eleanor💃💃
This is one of those topics i don't understand....all i care about is am a WOMAN.. full stop 🤷💃...
Thanks Barbara for the book you mentioned last time..
WHICH BOOK WAS IT?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 at Bumb love, we are still going to ask you that " what does being a woman mean or look like to you ????"
@@anonnona6433 I will still say Being a woman is an inherent quality bestowed by her creator, much like being a man; each individual embodies the essence of their intrinsic nature, not just social constructs or roles imposed by society but are integral to who individuals are at their core... I wear dress or not, am a woman, I make my hair or not am a woman, .. in whatever state... I am a woman,i feel like a woman 😀😃😄
@@ahumuzacharlesdickens4489 MONEY WON'T MAKE YOU RICH
@@angel.angel.636 tihihihi 😂😂😂😂
This table 🎉🎉🎉
Barbz definition is what I get it, the conversation centres more on feminism rather femininity
You ladies are fun, loving and brilliant❤
Cyber hugs ladies❤❤❤❤
1:14:16 that has been a very beautiful submission. I also believe a man and woman are different we're supposed to fit into each other's missing pieces.
Damn, felt like bringing myself to the show to submit a few points about femininity and feminism especially from an Islamic point of view.
Waaaaaw ladies thank you 🙏🙏
I think i just love Barbara
Some of us life has thrown a lot of challenges in our way that we have over tapped into the masculine side too much,I side with Bev on this,as long as value is there,once in a while I get to do what girls do but most days am on the go, Manuella you looked like a million bucks and the makeup was demure.
Thank you
Eleanor should be made co-host plzzzzzzzzz
Yeeeeeeeessssss
Hi ladies! Thanks for the show. Please invite Rukshana Kitaka to one of your shows.
Thanx ladies. We now know what femininity means for you as women. How abt for men?. For most men it's abt peace (sanctuary) , being agreeable (minimal drama ) and coperative(respect his authority), fitting in his frame (put respect to his name, remember you are his representation) and supporting his purpose.
❤❤❤ thanks bump love
Sanyu lovers ❤❤❤❤
You are so right Manuela...the abuse of feminism by females is so sad!
It is sad.... I believe that someday, women will finally see how much we tear each other up, and hopefully become better
Pleased to be here ladies... I also love Fridays🎉🎉 let's balance it. Good point we are watching from Hungary 😂 Love a Sherlock
Ahhhh these food combos nei😂and you walk amongst us?
Show was intriguing. For 2 years now, ive been trying to lean more into my feminine energy i do that by maintaining the tone of my voice being that i deep voice, embracing my natural softness for-example asking for help carrying something heavy even tho i could carry it by myself, smiling more, taking compliments, for dress code, some times i will dress in things that flatter my body more then sometimes i just want to be comfortable and free hence baggy pants and a shirt. I don’t like make up and ive never felt less feminine because of it.
😊
I had a C-section first mom and the thing i struggled with my femininity is giving birth . I had alot of fear of going through labour pains of which i struggle with up to date .
Hence said you come over it i now have a desire to have an experience of dat part of motherhood .
Thanks for the show
Do you mind how your femininity and giving birth were a struggle. I'm just trying to understand what being feminine has to do with childbirth.
Preach it Bev🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. I hate stereotypes.
