An open letter to the members of the Facebook group Poes Funny on April 18, 2014, serves as both a tribute and a reminder about the power of language and community. As we gather to remember a beloved figure, Ouma, whose laughter and warmth touched us all, we reflect on how we communicate and the words we choose.

For those unfamiliar, the term “POES” is a slang word that refers to a woman’s genitalia, often used in a derogatory manner. Although many find it humorous in certain contexts, it is essential to recognize the negative connotation that comes with such language. The name of this group, Poes Funny, which boasts 36,000 members, embodies a mix of humor and controversy that prompts deeper discussions about respect and sensitivity within our interactions.

In memory of Ouma, a person who shone brightly in our lives, we are encouraged to consider the way we engage with one another. Ouma represented kindness, understanding, and laughter without malice. As we reminisce about her joy and light, let us also celebrate her legacy a community where humor does not come at the expense of others.

This open letter urges us to reflect on our communication styles, to choose words that uplift rather than degrade, and to create an environment where everyone feels valued. As members of Poes Funny, we have the unique opportunity to redefine what it means to be part of this group.

In honoring Ouma’s memory, let us strive towards a positivity that is inclusive and respectful, remembering that our words can either build bridges or create divisions. Your light, Ouma, will always shine, and in your honor, may we develop a camaraderie that echoes your spirit—a spirit that celebrates laughter without hurting others.

Together, we can transform this space to be one that laughs freely but also speaks kindly. Let the essence of Ouma guide us toward a community filled with love, laughter, and respect.
