"A father who underestimates his daughter gives other men permission to underestimate her too." This quote is EVERYTHING. I loved this piece, Amani. You have such a beautiful way with words that is just so inspiring 🤎
Unbelievably obsessed with how you’re always able to capture moments of people watching and innocent (☝🏾) eavesdropping and turn them into beautiful, reflective pieces like this.
Another beautiful piece Amani! I love these pov pieces. They don’t feel intrusive. They always feel insightful. I’m also a tad jealous there’s an Ethiopian restaurant near you lol
“A father who underestimates his daughter gives other men permission to underestimate her too.”
OOOOF your minddddd
This one was so good
Wow, I feel like I was sitting at the Ethiopian restaurant with you while reading this. So, so wonderfully written.
This brought me to tears. Wonderfully written words, thank you.

What a lovely piece of writing (from a dad of such a daughter)
i'm just echoing the sentiments of everyone else here but seriously, this was so beautiful and pleasant to read!
The father's parenting to a daughter is really a scaffolding for the girls who will soon run their world.
This was such a beautiful read in a way I can’t fully explain. I felt every thing ❤️
This piece made me stop what I was doing and send some love to the teenage girl in me.
Wonderful work as always - sending over to a lot of my girl dads. Inspires some notes myself.
Such a great observational piece. So poignant and meaningful
I’m obsessed with this and obsessed with you. This was so atmospheric I loooooved it - so lovely, interesting and captivating 🩷
Beautiful writing! Just sent this to my husband as he talks to our 7 month old about her first day at day care.
that’s very cool! ✨ & thank you Sydney
