Today, we celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child. We honour the strength, resilience, and boundless potential of every girl around the world. This year's theme, "Girls' Vision for the Future," reminds us that girls hold the key to a brighter tomorrow. Yet, too often, their dreams are hindered by barriers to education, economic inequality, and societal expectations. At Empowering Women for Excellence Initiative (EWEI), we believe in the power of girls' voices. We've given 13 girls from Kaduare, Kaduna State, the platform to share their dreams and aspirations. Through our Vision for the Future through Storytelling campaign, these young girls have imagined and created their ideal futures. From becoming doctors and scientists to pursuing other ambitious goals, they have envisioned a world where their potential is limitless. Let's empower girls to shape their own destinies. Join us in celebrating their voices and supporting their dreams. Watch 13 girls share their inspiring visions here: https://lnkd.in/dPUb392d

Let’s talk about the Dream Gap

Education isn't just a path; it's the beacon guiding us toward a meaningful existence, evolving alongside us from chalkboards to AI. It's the key to navigating our rapidly changing world, allowing us to not just keep pace with progress, but to embrace it. While strides have been made toward gender equality in education, disparities persist, particularly in parts of India where, for some girls, attending school remains a distant dream rather than a reality. To truly advance, we must confront these inequalities head-on, ensuring education is a universal right, not a privilege. Empowering women isn't just about individual strength; it's about igniting a collective flame that lights the way for others. Let's be the catalysts for change, uplifting not only ourselves but our sisters as well. Note: Check out "Lapatta Ladies" on Netflix India a powerful testament to the dreams and struggles of women breaking free from societal norms. It's a journey worth experiencing, a reminder that our stories are interconnected, and our potential limitless when we stand together. #EducationForAll #EmpowerWomen #GenderEqualityInEducation #CollectiveEmpowerment #LapattaLadies #TogetherWeRise #InspireChange #EducateGirls

It’s an act of courage, shedding everything you were ever told to be, everything you shaped yourself into for others. It’s stepping away from the scripts and roles that kept you easy to understand, easy to handle. It’s time to let go of “good enough” and the polished performances, to loosen the hold of past expectations. It’s time to unbecome, so you can discover who you are meant to become.

YOU need eloquence. Too often, people assume that eloquence is reserved for certain professions—lawyers, politicians, or people in marketing. But eloquence isn't just for those who make it their job. It’s for anyone who wants to express their ideas clearly and powerfully. At its core, eloquence is the ability to communicate your thoughts with precision. And that’s essential, no matter your field. Let’s be real: young women often face more hurdles in getting their ideas seen and heard. Mastering eloquence can help you break through, ensuring your voice is listened to, not just heard. The Sisterhood Bond is here to help you take that step toward confident, agile communication by offering peer support, professional advice, and mentorship tailored to who you are. If you are looking for a community (or in LinkedIn-speak, a "network") of ambitious young women who can relate to your journey and help you navigate it, you’ve come to the right place.

Storytelling powerfully fills gaps that lead to misunderstanding and lack of acceptance. Here We Are helps fill that gap in a time when 71% of Americans say that they have never met a transgender person. There is so much to say about Here We Are - a powerful new campaign we are proud to launch today with GLAAD. For now, please spend some time getting to know Gio, Ashton and Nadya on the website - share it with your friends and communities and let everyone know that every person has the right to be their authentic selves, free from fear. We can break down the barriers of misinformation and political rhetoric simply by getting to know each other. Acceptance is easy - it's human nature.

Time flies! 2 years ago almost to the date, I had the opportunity to be featured and named as a Changemaker for In The Know by Yahoo to highlight my work and The Green Obsidian. It popped up on my newsfeed as a memory and I truly couldn't have asked for better timing to have a little motivation for the week ahead. This journey I'm on has been tedious, full of obstacles, and truly a test of faith. Imagine taking a leap without seeing the whole staircase in front of you, not knowing what will happen next. Scary right!? Trusting the process isn't always sunshine and rainbows like how they make it out in the movies and novels-- sometimes it's straight up FRIGHTENING to not know the next step or the ending. But having trust to know that however it happens, that everything will work out in your favor because you have faith in your talents and abilities is the real bag. Moral of the story -- My journey isn't over. And I am still curating the best comeback story I have ever written in this lifetime. Sending a little love and light to you wherever you need it most to bring a little motivation to your journey ahead. And if you're in this place of doubt or operating in fear, getting roadblocks or not sure if you're on the right path forward-- this is my reminder to you: You are right where you need to be, and the journey ahead is going to be so worth it. KEEP.
