  Last year, we took a bold step forward in a bid to ensuring that young girls understand the potency of wielding their voice for a sustainable and gender-equal future. We made them realize that they should never stifle or smother their voices even when others tell them to cower in silence and hide their faces in shame. We made them realize that their words are powerful and needed for change and that when they speak, their words reverberate throughout the entire universe sending ripples across the galaxies. We urged them to speak up and use their voice. We urged them to let the sound of their vocal cords reverberate across different timelines and countless generations. We urge them to be loud and to be heard and to challenge the status quo. And as the annual International Day of the Girl Child draws near, we are here again, super-geared to help the girl-child break out of the cages of ready-made expectations in order for her to redesign her own dreams with the numerous blocks that pile

It is something you start building from an early age. Then, in the university, what you have learned all through childhood and teenagerhood is tested and refined. By the time you graduate, you are more equipped to face the world. Ladies in school is a series that is dedicated to showcasing female high achievers who are still students. It focuses on ladies in school who are driven, motivated, and full of passion. These ladies have dreams and aspirations and are working towards achieving their goals. Ladies who are passionate about volunteering, leadership and are doing great things desp

  Gender advocacy is an all-encompassing push for a change in the narrative. It seeks to liberate men and women from the shackles of the unrealistic expectations and stereotypes that patriarchy expects them to live up to. Girl child advocacy, particularly the area of leadership and shattering glass ceilings, is a course that I am passionate about because I am female and most of my advocacy stems from and is fueled by personal experiences. That I advocate for these areas doesn’t mean that gender advocacy is not all-encompassing. Other people are passionate about other aspects of advocacy and from time to time, I like to shine the spotlight on them. Boy child advocacy, for instance, is an important part of gender advocacy. It is an aspect of gender advocacy that is close to my heart because I believe that when more people are involved in this type of advocacy, things will be better and we will achieve gender equality easily. Today, I would love to celebrate Solomon O. Ayodele, an innovat
