So, I walked into a bank yesterday and told one of the staff that I wanted to open a domiciliary account.

My people, the man looked at me from head to toe 😭

Not ordinary look ooo.

The kind of look that silently says:

"This small girl standing in front of me, does she even know what a domiciliary account is?" 😂😂

Immediately I saw the look, I knew something was wrong.

Even before the man spoke, my mind had already interpreted the whole conversation taking place inside his head.

Shame wanted to wear me agbada, but I maintained my steeze and composure 😌

Then he asked:

"What do you need a domiciliary account for?"

I explained what I needed it for.

The man still looked at me with another round of bombastic side eye 🙄🙄

At that point, I almost wanted to tell him:

"Sir, please don't allow the small body deceive you. Big things are happening inside this package" 😂😂

But I remained professional 😌

He then told me I would need to write a letter stating why I wanted the dollar account, provide some documents, and come with a minimum deposit of $100 cash.

I thanked him and quietly left.

As I was walking away, one thought kept disturbing me:

Why do people always assume that because somebody is small in stature, they are also small in knowledge, experience, ambition, or even age? 😭

This is not even the first time something like this has happened to me.

People see me and immediately assume I am just a small girl, less experienced than I am, or completely unaware of what I am talking about 😭

Meanwhile, if only they knew the number of things this "small body-sized girl" has done and survived 😂

Anyway, let me ask my online family.

What exactly can somebody do to add healthy weight? 🤔

Because if this small body will continue causing this kind of misunderstanding, maybe it is time for me to take the matter seriously 😂

And please, tell me the truth.

Have you ever been underestimated because of your appearance, age, height, body size, or the way you look?

Let me know so I will not feel alone in this struggle 😭😂
