Respect your family and follow the customs of your clan, then your family, and then yourself. Remember that the choices you make affect your family so choose a partner that will stand up for you, be there for you in the good Andrade times and likewise treat you with decency and respect. Time is short on negativity so be positive and learn how to be a lady and a woman. Don’t let another person dictate your life or your finances. Control that yourself as much as possible. Biggest Takeaway: You control your own future. Take the opportunities in life to learn how to be a responsible human being from your parents and the world around you through cooking, cleaning, shopping, managing your finances, and keeping a home. Quote in Summary “Live life on your terms. Learn about different cultures and your roots Explore the world around you through walking and being in nature and educate yourself as much as possible on different cultures, behaviors, and mannerisms to blend in. Above all be positive and find joy in every little and big gem in life.” La primera parte de las memorias autobiográficas de Waris Dirie.

Waris Dirie (the name means desert flower) lives a double life - by day she is a famous model and UN spokeswoman on women's rights in Africa, at night she dreams of her native Somalia. Waris, one of 12 children, was born into a traditional family of desert nomads in East Africa. She remembers her early childhood as carefree- racing camels and moving on with her family to the next grazing spot - until it came her turn to meet the old woman who administered the ancient custom imposed on most Somalian girls: circumcision. Waris suffered this torture when she was just five years old. Then, aged 12, when her father attempted to arrange a marriage with a 60 year old stranger in exchange for five camels - she took flight. After an extraordinary escape through the dangerous desert she made her way to London and worked as a maid for the Somalian ambassador until that family returned home. Penniless and speaking little English, she became a janitor in McDonalds where she was famously discovered by a fashion photographer. Her story is a truly inspirational and extraordinary self-portrait of a remarkable woman whose spirit is as breathtaking as her beauty. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
