IN DEE BEGINNING...
Welcome!!!
The Dee Mako project is a certification that being original, genuine, unpretentious, broke and stylish is a thing.
Before you go further, I would like to tell you a story.
It all started from"Momz" that is what I call my mother. When i was a child, she would buy me the most expensive clothes that looking back she probably couldn't afford. Then I grew up and realised that 'momz' didn't only buy me expensive clothes that made me look cute, she also managed to give me a voice and teach me something or two about style. Thankfully for momz, everyday since I became aware, I evolve and maybe even inspire.This is your one stop place for inspiration no matter your budget. Ask my friends they will tell you i'm a bargain hunter. My name is Desola Mako but please call me Dee.
P.S: I will work for travel.

I'm not even 25 and I'm steady avoiding people and questions because they feel like once a woman is done with school, the next thing is marriage and if at 28 you don't even have a boyfriend then there must be something wrong with you.
ReplyDeleteIt's really tiring how people feel like they know the way your life should progress and how it's supposed to turn out but then I guess that's the society we live in.
I totally agree with this piece. Society expects us to be perfect. Its like after B.sc what's next they say Mrs... Like we have no right to our own dreams,goals or what we want out lives to be. We just have to follow the established process; go to school, get married, have babies and die!
ReplyDeleteHi Dee, I love this post, sometimes I see these things in social media and want to delete my account. I feel like I'm in a country filled with idiots and nobody understands me. But it's a struggle everyone faces and deals with differently. Well since I know some Nigerians are morons I have learnt to 1) Keep my frigging opinions to myself lest I die, 2) I have started to shed all this religion culture and societal courtesies drummed into me and have started to look at the world a little differently. 3) I have decided that my life is my life and if I do not want people to have an opinion about it I'll keep that aspect off social media.
ReplyDeleteSo my dear, just be fabulously you, morons can't comprehend the new woman.
This is something I've noticed too. They tell you not to have a boyfriend byt once your past 25 or in some cases earlier they start asking questions. And girl its not only 28, in some peoples mind's once your done with school and NYSC what are you waiting for. Now how do I deal, well I have a goal in site so those people can mind their business or keep talking it it pleases them.

I'm still in my early 20's and I'm willing to enjoy it before the pressure really sets in. Society has really tortured a lot of women yet it's up to us to let them understand that NO ONE CAN LIVE OUR LIVES FOR US. So if it happens at 25 YES! and what if it's in your late 20's ? So be it. I'd rather be happy taking things a step at a time than be miserable because society pressured me.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're back. Please hit us with an outfit post real soon.
