stay quiet so they don’t get jealous and don’t gang up on me for wanting things that they consider outside my reach. Or worse yet, if one of the women at work hears that my son got a job after school, she’ll send her son down there to try to take it away. I feel like my plans for my children can be taken from me by jealous women.
My village was the opposite, boast up, and they would make ot dangerous for one another bur they couldn't stop
