“Every time I see tips on how to get rid of stretch marks, I recall reading Dr. Maya Angelou's experience. She said while traveling in Africa.. she stayed with a tribe that bathed communally. She said the women began to weep and console her and she did not know why. They thought she was childless cuz she had no stretch marks. In their society, marks are a badge of honor. They said even if the baby passed away and she was kidnapped into a new village, if she passed and could not speak for herself, the marks would tell her story and she would get the proper rites at burial. #perspectives" - Azali Mizan”
