DEAR MATHILDE is a super special to us
as Mathilde is Hook’s real niece who was born during our third creative boot camp for SHE. As we were going to meet Mathilde for the rst time, it made Muthoni consider what she would tell Mathilde to equip her for her journey ahead as a woman. This song is thu...
Dear Mathilde
In addition to being yourself, they will expect you to be a good girl, grow into a good woman
As you will soon discover, there is no such thing as a good girl or a good woman
There is, however, such a thing as you. Such a thing is true, and forever is good
Practice your smile. You will need it. It will be your strength and your mask too
You must learn how to kick. How to punch. How to push
You must work twice as hard. You must be twice as smart
To be a woman is a full time job, for the half the pay. And even then, not always
You will discover your inner gangstar
You will learn to out-run, out-do. They will label you bad girl
You will learn to be un-moved
Invent your identity. Remember necessity is the mother, so as need be, change it
Your body is your home. Your throne. Adorn it
And remember this, in whatever form, in whatever shape you may be
In whatever version of reality you find yourself in
You are a queen. The feminine energy of all of creation
You are of life and you are life itself
Goddess
