Josiah summoned all of his wives to the den for a family meeting. In about six months we have already going to start our own businesses in this area. Five miles away is a empty lot and seven of my trusted Muslim brothers of our faith are going to invest in bettering ourselves by going in business together. Zaria and Amara I have a buyer for your African hair shop and in this land you all will be owners of your own hair shop. Everyone over the age of sixteen years old will be working in this house so no more free rides. Zaria said with many of us working will some of our children be able to go on to college directly after high school, instead of getting married. Josiah says we have to discuss that farther. Amara said I was hoping you allow your daughters to complete college then get married and allow them to have free choice for her life to whom she wants to marry.
Josiah said some of the girls have been agreed to give away into marriage but, some that have potential to attend school and make us proud, they will attend school and get a career started first..
