Imagine Being Told You Have to Have More Children? - Naomi
Listen now
Description
I am so lucky to have met & live with someone like Naomi in Fiji. I have never felt so useless until I met her and realised she does more work than most of us put together. Naomi is an exceptional Mum, Daughter, Friend and Voice of Reason. Speaking to Naomi in this episode is just a tiny insight to what she actually does day to day. Apologies for any audio disturbances and crack within this episode. We were dealing with children & lawn mowers! We discuss EVERYTHING from the superstitions in her family regarding death meaning she has to have more children, to the scariest idea I think about; when you have no idea you are pregnant until the baby comes because your menstruation has been normal!!  In Fiji culture it is more likely the women are the breadwinners & feel pressure around being a mum and a 'good' woman. It was also interesting learning how they view women body image compared to the western society which is an absolute plus.  And did you know we now have a thing called human rights? Naomi you are one in a million and you've been through it all but boy do you have an amazing sense of humour and I cannot thank you nor your family enough for letting me come into your home - (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100080373706605) If anyone is planning to head to Fiji.  I hope you get to the end of this episode and see that we are raising money for Naomi's family and village. It would mean so much to me and all of them if you were able to donate anything you can for their school in order to have another teacher.
