WHAT FUELS ME IN
THREE WORDS?
THREE WORDS?
DETERMINATION, PERSEVERANCE
AND PURPOSE are three words that
has brought me this far. Having grew up in a dysfunctional family filled with
pain, hardship, sorrow and fear of the unknown. But these three words were
formidable forces that brought me this far.
THE GREATEST AND MOST PROFOUND INFLUENCE ON YOU?

THE GREATEST AND MOST PROFOUND INFLUENCE ON YOU?
Mrs
Elizabeth Festus is one person that has had profound influence on me. She is my
Mum,a woman that loves and believes in Gods faithfulness. She went through what
most women wouldn’t bear but she stood firm,She was battered,abused and
rejected for bearing mostly females,she combated all negative forces to actualized her dream of raising all her daughters to graduate level through the
enabling grace of God. She believes that every child is valuable regardless of
their sex. I admire her strength, her positive
aura and her resilience spirit. She is a vital pivot that challenges me in pursuing my
dreams in spite of the daily obstacles that unfolds.
THREE
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE MY ROLE MODELS ARE….
+Tyler Perry -An American actor, film director, song writer,producer e.t.c. whose life story has been a source of encouragement. He wasn’t
so fortunate; he suffered physical abuse at the hands of his father and sexual
abuse in the hands of other adults. But his determination to succeed in life
and trust in God brought him this far, his perseverance paid off.
+Joyce Meyer Ministries – A charismatic Christian Author and speaker, whose life always
encourage me to forgive those that wronged me. She was sexually abused by her
own father yet she forgave the man whole heartedly. Through her books I have
come to the understanding that unforgiveness is a cancerous factor that can
cause so many health issues. Her charitable contributions to the society are
what I also admire a lot.
+Oprah Winffrey – A black powerful woman, humble,charitable and helping others find
their purpose. she sees through an individual’s eyes their hidden abilities and
try to bring it out by helping them to actualize who they truly are. Helping
people to believe in themselves and make them to be the highest version of
themselves is a great virtue which I adore in her.

The African Woman’s Challenge:
One of
the challenges that African women are combating with is the loss of
originality.Most of us has lost those virtue that makes us unique,most African
women have fail to understand that beauty is not acquired at a make up counter
but that true beauty lies inward. Family values ,morals,self respect and self
worth are been deleted from our dictionary due to Morden day Hollywood. Rediscovering who we truly are is my
uttermost heartbeat and I do convey my message via social media at any slightly
opportunity.
I UNWIND
WITH MOVIES, MUSIC AND …
Music calms my nerves
and restores peace to my soul. Watching movies especially comedies helps me
unwind.

My – I.C.E. [INSPIRE|CELEBRATE|EMPOWER] Vision
African women are unique, gifted, talented and strong willed.
Just as the late Maya Angelou wrote” Women are filled with inner mystery
that men can’t touch” The
African women should be encouraged to find their Authentic Self. These
authentic self is that part of an individual’s part that is not define by their
job,role or function but the composite of all individual unique
gifts,skills,abilities,interests,talents,insights
and wisdom. The African women should be inspired to discover their
absolute core,Celebrated for their uniqueness and empowered to remain true to
self even when life’s experiences,expectancies and pains are stripped away for
it is only then that they will flourish,unselfish-consciously in their life’s
happiest moment.

MY AFRICAN UNION
PLANS:
The
area of inspiring,encouraging and helping individuals to search inwards and
discover that which makes them unique and authentic has always been my passion.
I believe that everyone has a unique talent that should be tampered on and the
manifestation of these embedded talents is just one step ahead if only it could
be located. Women are natural mines loaded with golds,diamonds,silver,platinum
and precious stone investing in them develops a whole nation…Any
responsibility that creates a formidable force for self actualization is my
take.
