        Cash uno..can’t blame the Mum either. She wanted her to be “safe” financially. But “safe” isn’t good. Sadly, 95% strive for safe..😪😪

        Sometimes what others see as the "best" job (i.e. the most secure, practical, in demand, or highest in status) does not match w/ what's best for us personally. Parents, take note. Don't squelch a child's gifts/passions/talents 4 smthg "safer". That's not growth. It's conformity.

        I wish people weren’t so ignorant when it comes to geography, so she could just say what country her mother is from instead of saying African

        Saying my African mother makes it as if, she has an American one. It don't matter where your mother is from, she is your mother, done.
