I was honored tonight to be part of a menarche celebration. It is encouraging to me that there are some girls out there who are claiming this event for the meaningful and powerful rite of passage that it truly is. Several amazing women were present to welcome her into her maidenhood and share their stories and words of advice. Here is a beautiful photo of part of the altar, including a picture of her grandmother.
And here is where Akasha spent most of the time.
She had a blowout right when we got there, and I was in such a hurry to help get things ready that I just left her in her rainbow baby legs and that was it! She has taken to pushing her head under the strap of the meitei when she wants to go to sleep - very cute.
