I didn't expect to be a fourth wife at 27: Zikoko oldies

[Zikoko Daily] 29th September, 2021 Hey . In case you’re in the middle of hating your Wednesday, remember that the work week ends tomorrow. Yay, Nigeria. Today, I spoke to Mariam about Biwom, a [masculine-presenting]( musician who studied law, drove [an uber](, and stressed her parents on her way to making music. Oh, everyone, Mariam had a little accident yesterday. Send her some love and light. Maybe even dollars. Ifoghale Newsletter Editor The Inside Gist --------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Mariam. I’m sorry about your accident. How are you feeling today? Physically, I feel great. Otherwise, not so great. It feels like I can’t do anything right 😭 Sorry, my dear. Don’t worry. You’re awesome. Thank you. I needed that. You’re welcome. Let’s talk about today’s “What She Said.” How did you find Biwom? Her manager reached out to us for an interview with her about her journey and how people treat her because she’s masculine-presenting. It’s the kind of story that makes me tick. I like how brave she is, even when her parents were giving her hell. Are you currently doing what you’ve always wanted to do? Yes and no. I grew up wanting to be a medical doctor, but as Nigeria got in the way, my dreams changed many times. I’ve just stopped projecting into the future. I’m okay with where I am right now. LOL. [Sounds familiar](. So, what’s your favourite thing about Biwom’s story? She wants to dismantle the societal standards around the way women should look. I’m here for it. Are there any cool bits to her story that didn’t make the final cut? Biwom also played basketball, javelin, track, and handball.
