#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Morocco
The Proverb says: "Let us sit bent, but talk straight."
In Moroccan culture, respect for elders and community leaders is highly valued. At the same time, true leaders are expected to speak their minds and offer honest opinions rather than simply agreeing with those in power. The proverb encapsulates the balance between respect and honesty, encouraging individuals to maintain humility while still speaking the truth. In a society where it can be difficult to voice dissent, the proverb serves as a reminder that speaking out against injustices and standing up for what one believes in is necessary for progress. It also reminds leaders to listen to alternative perspectives and consider them fairly, rather than blindly following tradition or betraying their own values for the sake of conformity.

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Bemba
The Proverb says: "A child is like an axe, even if it hurts you, you still carry it on your shoulder."
African Proverbs are a source of profound wisdom, especially today's proverb from Bemba.
This proverb speaks to the importance of resilience and perseverance in parenting. It emphasizes that parents will always love their children unconditionally, no matter what.
By passing down their strength to their children, parents can help ensure that they have the abilities needed to face any challenge they may encounter.
Become a stronger parent by teaching your child how to persevere and never give up in the face of difficulty – just like an axe rides comfortably on its bearer's shoulder!
