If You Don't Empower The Girl Child Now, So When?


In Her Thoughts: If You Don't Empower The Girl Child Now, So When?


You knew it could burn but stretched arm's length for an embrace.

You felt the heat inside out, Heart Burn!
But, you still basked in its full blaze.

You knew it was a trap wrapped in good aesthetics,
A beautiful painting hung to sway you in.

I gotta give it to you, you got a big heart,
Enough to go around even where it's not wanted.

So do you cry or scold yourself when the pain it's self-inflicted?
How do you tell your story?
Do you complain? Do you ask for help?

It feels like you are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
'You got yourself into this.' 'You got yourself into this.'
Runs an emotional race at the back of your mind.

Now, these 7 words make you feel ashamed & not worthy crying out for help.
You repeat it to yourself to put you to sleep.
A lullaby self-composed, 'You got yourself into this.'

"Always follow your instinct." Why didn't you follow your instinct?

Ooh, you just one naive girl.
Seeing good in everything and everyone.
Amicable to the devil incarnate.

But do you cry or drown in self-pity when it's self-inflicted?
'You got yourself into this.'


Often times the girl child gets in sticky situations unwillingly or willingly. Regardless of whether you take a fair share of the blame, it's important to keep your power and not render it to the 'devil'. If it gives the spotlight to your weakness and sits your confidence and self-worth in the sidelines. Let it go! No matter the situation, don't let it steal your voice, speak up and get help.

"I hope more people take time from their busy schedules to support and help in maintaining "Girl Child Education" in their village, city, town, and country. If each one of us does a little bit then we all can make a change for better." Avijeet Das

Adulting They Call It! A Day In The Life Of An Adult...

Image
📷 Hulst Wilson It was a summer morning the smell of the fresh coffee brewing filled the air – the chill breeze and the scent of the clean-shaven glass. The shrieking clock slapped me back to reality, it was time to begin adulting. For so long I was living with my parents and feeding off them. The day has dawned for me to journey into a land of no hope – job hunting ! It had become known that jobs were for the privileged and the well-connected fellas. But this didn’t mess my mantra and optimism . What a shame everyone was caught up in the web of corruption and nepotism. Tick tock… The clock sang a song of hope. I had clothes bought specially for this day rather for the last time it came from my parents’ pension. I cleared my mind and the never-dying song of unemployment from my classmates and some from streams ahead. In my head, 8 o’clock was a date, a chance to be what I always dreamt of. I hurriedly bathed, late was never part of my vocabulary. The words of my mentor vivid

#Signs It Is Time For You To Be Courageous & Take What You Want

📷 Jonathan Daniels "You can get in life what you have courage to ask for " - Oprah Winfrey When it comes to life don’t be humble and meek, take on whatever life gives you. There is a better way to take on life, that is, to be specific about what you want. As our Shona idiom goes, “Mwana asinga cheme anofira mumbereko” which simply translates to, “You only get what you have the courage to ask for.” It is the only en route to success and getting what you want. It costs zero dollars to take charge of your life, be assertive – combine your confidence with control. Trust me it is like a magnet to get attention, a step forward to getting what you want. Growing up I was a reserved and quiet person. Never asked for anything or complained. It was rooted in me and my way of life. Up until I realized that if I don’t ask for much I won’t get much. Your soul and mind will give precisely what you unconsciously tell it, nothing more or nothing less. Being a considerate soun

Self-Confidence: Spread Some Good Vibes!

📷  Caique Silvah Through my walk in life, I have encountered different characters, personalities, with different lifestyles as well. I witnessed intense happiness, sorrow, sadness, anxiety, and depression. Every feeling you may think of. The best part of being an introvert, you observe and witness behind the scenes for clear sight. I have discovered the force that defines people’s emotions. It shapes people characters, attitude and the way they act. Upon the realization that self-confidence shapes us, I was intrigued and thought this is a topic that needs devouring to feed my curiosity. What really is self-confidence? I asked a couple of people to get a sense of how self-confidence speaks to them and how it is related to performance. Here is a snippet of what they said: “Self-confidence is the trust one has in their own abilities and qualities. It is important yeah…as a contributor to success but it is not everything.” “Possibly the more self-confident one
