According to a new report by CurrentTV, Cameroonian mothers believe breast ironing will protect their daughters from becoming pregnant and being assaulted in that it will postpone their development and men will not be enticed by their breasts. With dietary habits in the country improving, girls are beginning to hit puberty as young as 9, and are subject to the practice around at the same age.
I’m fucked up right now. My girl’s homegirl just had a daughter two months ago. In That time her daughter has gone through two open heart surgeries to repair a whole in her heart. Right now she’s in there just barely keeping her eyes open from the drugs they have her on for whatever reason, probably for the pain. I have this feeling in my got that she’ll pull through. I know babies are little strong people. I have faith that that baby is protected by something stronger that anything on earth and that’s the hand of God. With two kids of my own born around the same time of her two children this has me holding them much tighter. Life is crazy. Let us pray for little Shalin Joy
