‘I’m not afraid of heights, have you seen my shoes?
By Boma Benjy Iwuoha
Do you have people asking you why you love your heels? A mum who’s always asking; don’t you think that’s too high dear? Or a cousin who sits on your bed watching you dress up, then slips in that unsolicited guidance that goes like; do you ever wonder how uncomfortable it would feel if you fell off those shoes? Oh yes! I’ve heard it all. From the aunt who thinks I may end up with a cracked skull and 20 stitches, to a brother who thinks I’m too tall to wear heels that high; and let’s not leave out the know it all friend, who’s rather too scared to walk the heels, so she goes like, “you just love to attract unnecessary attention to yourself”. Yes! Like I said, I’ve been there.
