“The Travails of Ọmọtẹjọmọ”: An Ode to Strong Women [Book Review]
"The Travails of Ọmọtẹjọmọ" by Dr Ejiro Joyce Otive-Igbuzor excellently showcases the strength of a woman.

Together, these women strive to conquer despite the limits of the patriarchal world in which they live. #BookReview, #Feminism, #Gender, #GenderEquality, #Patriarchy, #Women

What is “Perfect”? The Problem with Perfectionists

Lately, I've been thinking about the fact that no matter how much money people have, it never seems to be enough to meet all their wants. #ClassInequality, #Economics, #HumanNeeds, #HumanWants, #TheEconomicProblem
