Our Mothers, Our Daughters , Our sisters The smiling coast.

This poem was written to highlight the life of many of our mothers, sisters and daughters not just in Gambia but  Africa as a whole through our voices and the visuals we share the beauty, community and harsh realities of many women back home and the diaspora. The most important people of our society, the ones who make things happen, the ones that maintain even in the midst of destruction. May Allah bless all of the women in our lives and grant them goodness in all they do, may he protect them from shaytan, evil eye and black magic and allow them to reach Jannah tul- firdaus. Ameen.

From the mother who wakes two hours before fajr to pray her tahajjud, get her children ready for school and then leaves to go serekunda market to make a living. Her children not understanding there circumstance, Her mind focused on their survival. To the young  woman whose dreams keep her up at night picturing a future of peace and splender, not letting the past define what she gets to be. To the young child with the world at her feet living everyday as if it were her last, the smile on her face enough to fill a nation with joy. They are the Smiling Coast.

Thank you to everyone  apart of this, I appreciate it more than you know.
