GM - About our First Lady's transformation...

I’m sure she didn't come this far to only come this far, because even Michelle Obama had some wardrobe changes. Now the question is: would you, for your part, come as far as she came just to remain the same?

That’s some thought for some of us who seem to be in awe, but sarcastically, about our First Lady’s apparent transformation, as if we have no idea about life's challenges.

Granted, her latest photos no longer look like the ones we saw in December, 2016, but we needn’t be told to know that the family was under a surge of anxiety at the time, and naturally, a feeling of worry and pressure like that, especially about the uncertain outcome of an election that sort, can make anyone look older.

I say she wasn’t “hungry.” It was political stress that took a toll on her appearance. Anxiety ages the genes - go and ask your favourite doctor. In fact, according to me, if after all these years, you cannot see any significant change in your own appearance, comportment, and worldviews, my friend be sad, because you’re not growing.

Or maybe we should end the amnesia by doing a little challenge on here - share our pictures from back in the day, when the struggle was real. It'd be fun to see some of us in our dehydrated ‘Jakaa’ fabrics, raggedy-ass hairstyles and shoes, you know, probably looking like 60 year olds at 20something.

OASN: I don’t like people who scoff at people just to feel good about themselves – especially at women. But the strange and unfortunate truth of the matter is that a lot of us don't get inspired by growth. Instead, we envy it. It’s like we are happy when we are all at the same miserable level, gossiping and throwing pity-parties endlessly.
