Hi there. Can I tell you what I dream of doing?
I want to empower young girls and women all over the world especially in remote villages like Akwa Ibom State where i come from to reach their full potentials. I want them to push beyond the narrative that women are second fiddles and chase their dreams. I want them educated and to have equal access to opportunities.
It's all part of making a better world.
Women are not just victims, weak or feeble neither are they just care givers. They have a voice, they have dreams. they are nation builders and they deserve equal access to education and opportunities. I want to see a First female Governor in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria as well as see women head top echelon of affairs across the world. Everyone deserves equal rights and opportunities.
This is really going to help people.
The impact of my vision will be mainly felt by Young girls and women especially in remote communities who are the most marginalized and excluded
It's not just about having an idea though - here are the things I know I can achieve:
Gender equality
Empowerment
Better and stronger institutions
I'm going to make this happen, and this is how I know it'll make a difference.
Where women have equal rights and access to opportunities irrespective of class, race, gender, ethnicity, culture etc. Where all citizens have a say in decision making processes without discrimination of any kind, A society that includes all voices and takes into consideration all local context in its decision.
Thanks for listening to me. Will you help me build a better world?
