Being loud is not a trait associated with men. It is exclusively attached to women, often signalling for them to stop being so outspoken. Despite the challenges, many women continue to speak out and fight for their rights. They are breaking the generality in all spheres of life, whether it is politics, business, or entertainment.

We must find a medium between being loud for the sake of it and shutting up altogether. We can learn from those who came before us, such as our grandmothers, who might seem adamant on their beliefs, but agreed that "empty vessels make the most sound."

Next time, someone calls you loud just because you are being self-assured, tell them a "loud goodbye". Let us enable women to occupy their space, to speak loudly, and to remain stick to their words!

Happy Women's Day🤍🌸
