I donāt think this is related to the village. Reading their mission statement, it is a South Carolina based group for the black community in Aiken County.

u/Good-Bodybuilder-985 1d ago edited 1d ago
It's possible the village ships giant orders to this distributor so the prices and shipping remain affordable instead of them shipping individually from the continent of Africa.
-edit Oh yeah, when you go to the website itself it talk about distribution throughout the world!

The umojajewelry website is correct, but the umojavillage website does not refer to the umoja village, it refers to helping community in Aiken, South Carolina

Im so sorry you had to deal with that, its never easy as a child to realise your own home is not a safe space. But im so proud of you for finding someone and creating that safe soace for yourself.

My old coworker and I joked about having a commune by the sea. Living in tiny houses high on the bluffs, growing our food, hunting/fishing, growing weed and selling it to dispensaries, and growing hops (related to cannabis!) for brewing some kick ass IPAs.
Our only stipulation was no dudes. We had women for each ājobā who had some measure of expertise who we knew and were into the commune idea. It is supposed to be our retirement plan but maybe we will move up our timeline and allow partners. But only if theyāre cool and understand they are entering a little egalitarian society that can easily become a matriarchy if they start being dicks.

Based on their clothing, these women likely belong to the Massai, a herding tribe living in Tanzania and Kenya. The colorful cloaks and large bead disc necklaces are their traditional clothes. In many regions, it's still common for Massai men to have multiple wives. FGM is also still widespread though some groups have disavowed it.

u/SlightAnything4909 1d ago
Female Genital Mutilation. It's done in a few cultures in Africa, Asia and the Middle East as kind of an "initiation ritual" for young girls. The clitoris, clitoral hood, and/or labia minora are partially cut or completely removed, sometimes the remaining wounds are sewn shut. It's very dangerous, incredibly painful and often leads to decreased sexual function and complications with sexual intercourse and birth later in life.

Thank you. This makes me burn with rage!

u/SlightAnything4909 1d ago
It's so freaking messed up! Luckily more and more groups are abandoning the practice but it takes a lot of courage for many women because un"circumcised" women are often considered "unclean".

Sometimes tradition leads to regressive behavior. Education is the best way to counter it. That plus enforcement of banning horrific traditions such as this and circumcision. There is zero medical reason to mutilate babies/childrens genitals.

**Trigger Warning**
Ah beloved sisters, all. This was beautiful to see and it stirred some sleeping memories living in the dust of my "before".
Aren't we all truly each other? I didn't always think that. In my before I felt alone. I was scared. I lived in fear for my life. My then partner was sitting on the bed with several weapons scattered. He was cleaning them. I walked into the room to put something away. I was folding something with my back to him when I heard "I wonder what would happen if one of these accidentally went off...in your face?"
Then the feeling of my entire being seemed like it turned to something like stone. I turned, slowly and looked at him. He was smiling and laughing to myself as he continued to clean them.
And now, breath......that was in the before.....this is today. An entire lifetime away now.
My heart hears what is being said here and from these amazing Gal/Chicks. They are survivors, yes. And they are like the facets of a diamond. Multidimensional, beautiful, sparkly, intense and so incredibly strong.
Today is just a Saturday in this life. And each of us are breathing the air and thinking our thoughts as we go about our days/nights. But one thing will be true for me, forever. We are one. Without you, you being so many countless gal/chicks I've met on this road, held me up. Walked me home. Gave me time. Gave me grace. Ultimately giving me back...myself.
This was a beautiful reminder of what allowing someone to heal and building a support network of like-minded people can do. Just imagine! ā¤ļø

I think the thing to take from all of these stories, for men, is: only if you're weak, you need others to be weaker than you. Nobody will respect you for mistreating a woman just because she does not have the physical strength to hit back. That is the sole reason you go for her. Because you're weak. All women will look at what you do and they will know the sad, little loser you are.

I work in East Africa and it's actually a temperate climate, surprisingly even close to the equator. I'm there May-September and I'm often wearing my light down puffer jacket, especially in the towns at higher elevations like Nairobi. I'm cold there far more often than I'm hot!
In fact when I zoomed with colleagues from Nairobi one July, it was 55F and cloudy and damp and I was wearing a denim jacket and a blanket scarf bunched around my neck while the Americans were all wearing tank tops and everyone had a laugh about it, 'guess which person is in east Africa right now' and it's the one who looks like she's about to go apple picking in October. :)

I would recommend getting tested. See if you have XP or EPP. You can be qualified for disability benefits in most places if you actually have it. The girl I knew had special documentation for housing and accommodation. She had to be assigned to a dorm that didnāt have a window facing the east or the west so the sun wouldnāt stream in directly. That way if she fell asleep or forgot to close her blackout curtains, it wouldnāt stream in on her as directly. She got SEVERE pain from the sun and a horrific rash. It was really bad.

The amount of startup needed. Measurabke, but Feeling, immeasurable. Perfect place, perfect location, safe, little to Almost no crime. The legal and regional bylaws to get thought would be intense. Because its small without a lot of resources, they want to know people who go there couod benefit the island. And not pollute, or take. Which means Preferably, having a plant for containment. Solar, rain water gathering, anything you can. Bc even water there is limited since they're surrounded by the ocean ..
Ive loteralt thought it out down to grants, who to hire. They prefer locals to work ..startup just to get there. Seems impossible, unless I work in mining for afew years, Might be with it to make this .. but There .

The closest my community has was we have a womenās only hair salon.
We have a high Muslim population in our town and large percentage of that is comprised of women who wear hijabs. The womenās only salon is owned run and staffed by only women. They only do appointments and do they them by blocks for hijabi women several times a day. When the appointments go on, they lock the doors and close the blinds. That way women can take off their hijabs freely in the open area without worrying about any man walking in on them. When a client is done, they escort them out through a hallway where the main room canāt be seen and they shut and lock the door behind them.
The hijabi women donāt have to be taken to a separate room at the back or have it done at home like most places. They can have the same experience as all the other women in town. The fun music, the community vibes, everything without having to worry. Itās also SO cute. Itās pink and very glitz and glam. I just love it.
Itās so funny. Some men got all mad and called it sexist that there was a womenās only place. Suddenly a menās only barber shop popped up and they shut up. Little did they know that the owners of the menās only shop are the same women who own the womenās shop š

In the sense that if they couldnāt shut the blinds and lock the door they have to go to a separate room āat the backā out of view or at home. These women have to change their behaviour and require stores to change their operations because theyāre fearful/unable to have their hair out in public, lest they be seen by a man that isnāt related to them.

Sad that we as women have to make "men free" zones. Men free fitness centers, men free train cars, Why - FOR OUR safety. Many of the tings we have used as defensive weapons have been outlawed - it might hurt a man - hatpins ( must be short now), pointed umbrella tips, cat key rings etc.
I have many Transgender friends ( usually m-f) and even they are disgusted at the way these men act ( we joke about coming over to the right "team") Not all men are like this - but TOO many stay silent about the good old boys club - and allow ( secretly admire?) these POS If a group of 5 men are together and 1 says a rape joke and 4 men do not call him out - all 5 are guilty.

Hello /u/mindyour!! Thanks for posting on r/justgalsbeingchicks!
This subreddit is here to provide a place to post pictures and videos of women having fun and doing cool things. Is your post celebrating women or is it talking about men? Is your post showing a woman doing something cool or is it showing men doing something uncool? Would your post make a little girl proud to be a little girl or afraid to be one?
Our sub is about focusing on women through uplifting female centered content. If it doesnāt fit that please donāt post here. It will be removed.
Please read and understand the rules, as posts and comments that violate them will be removed. If you see someone violating rules, please report! This sub also follows Reddit's rules found here.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

This is a nice place. If you can't act like a civilized human being, you can't be here.
We do not allow:
- Being a jerk. This includes racism, misogyny, misandry, misgendering, anti LGBTQ+, ageism, etc.
- Harassment
- Trolling or sealioning
- Threats of any kind
- Abusive behavior
- General assholery. If you're at the end of the list and asking what rule you broke, yeah, it's this one.
