My wishlist for Christmas coupled with 15 acts of mircrofeminism I found today

I can smell Christmas, my favorite time of the year. Like everyone else, I have a wishlist but my wishlist feels like I should carry gun mehn. The prices are making me feel sad this morning.

Picture from my morning Pinterest stroll.

However I know my wishlist are small compared to where someone else’s reach is.

My friend told me that in a good month, he makes 10k dolls. I am like wow Winifred you will get there.

I desire so much that it fuels the energy in me to push and push and keep pushing right. I don't want to get tired of pushing because I know there is greener grass tbh. I just need to win anxiety on many days and stay ruthless because I am a family woman in my head.

Then about feminism I feel like when we talk about it people think about hugeee changes. Meanwhile I read a piece today that made me know it is also in the little things we do every day collectively as people to help us close these gaps.

And I don’t just mean wishful thinking; I mean practical, doable things. So, I put together 15 small acts of micro-feminism you can start today whether you identify as one or not— these little acts might seem tiny but can make a difference.

Before we dive in let us visit my wish list.

My Wishlist

1. A very good design laptop. To be specific I need: a Dell xps 13 plus 9320 13.4 Touchscreen notebook. Core i7 12th Gen. 32gb ram and 1tb ssd. Or a Apple MacBook Air (M2) 256gb/8gb 13 inch 2022.

2. Project management or Product design internship opportunity with a focus on user experiences and customer satisfaction as priority.

3. A very reliable shoe plug.

4. Someone who knows somebody at Bingham University so I can make enquiries against next year program.

5. Prayers 🛐

6. A restful retreat where I just bask and sing hymns to my maker.

7. If you can endorse me on LinkedIn let me know. I need about five of them. That's all for now.

8. Social Media Launch plan and designs for VVYNLETTERs. I know I can do it but I don't want to do the novice launch tbh. I need something nice as foundation then I can free-flow as I grow.

I am in an era of self-development and reflection. It has been a tough one for months but I feel like I am at that place where mentally I can talk about what I do and not feel inadequate anymore. I have conquered the numerous doubts that have been creeping in my head.

I have my offerings lined out and now, I can boldly tell you now that at VVYNLETTERs I would like to say we are story archaeologists, helping individuals and businesses unearth and amplify their unique voices in an increasingly AI-voice world.

How?

We are planning to have a YouTube experience similar to Soft White Underbelly interviews but ours brings out the nuances to being. Like the not-feel-good moments. The awkward questions and answers, the not polished but humane moments. That is our community offering.

For whom?

• Medical essays for intending US medical students.

• Grant writing for businesses with purpose beyond consumerism, businesses with purposely impact.

• Email management for entrepreneurs.

• Memoirs for the elderlies and everyone wishing to share their story by ghostwriting a book. I specifically love writing deep memoirs and business books.

(Okay, you get the idea of my wishlist and my company. Now onto the next part!)

15 easy acts of microfeminism.

1. Stop saying “guys” for everything—try “everyone,” “team,” or even “y’all” (it’s fun!).

2. Give women credit in meetings or discussions—don’t let their ideas get buried or claim it as yours.

3. Tell a woman she’s good at something—sometimes we don’t hear it enough. So when you see a woman doing well give her her credit publicly. It really helps our self-esteem as 70% of us even the self made ones deal with self doubt.

4. Recommend books, movies, or shows that are really good and were done by women.

5. Call out sneaky sexist jokes or comments—even if it’s just a quick “not cool.”

6. Share the household work equally among your male and female children—whether it’s chores, planning, or emotional labor.

7. Mentor or encourage a younger woman, let her know you’ve got her back.

8. Buy from women-owned businesses because we love a good recommendation!

9. A woman’s nude video leaked or something and you are there circulating it, talking about it, hustling it like a retarded person. Lol sorry for the insult but stop don't participate in such please. It is distasteful to.

10. Step in when someone interrupts a woman when she is talking, let her finish her thought.

11. Support flexible work policies. This helps everyone even the organization at larger.

12. Encourage safe spaces for women to talk openly about women's health. Lets try to not do silence cultures as well for women who want to talk about intimate things..

13. Call out microagressions you notice at work places or public places.

14. Call women by their name and don't address parents or couples by the mans last name only. She has a name. Call her Mrs. Fatiah.

15. Don't open your mouth waaaa to call another woman “ashawo,” even by mistake. It is not good.

Every small step is part of a bigger journey toward a better, fairer society at least in your corner.
