International Day of the Girl Child 2021 – 90 Percent Loading

By -

 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 up around her. We are here again to ensure that the girl child breaks away from the gender box and stereotypic sayings and expectations that limit her. We are here to encourage them not to box themselves the society expects from them, The truth is that they do not need it and should not fit in. A cage limits! A box inhibits! We are here to let them know that they should never sabotage their possibilities of truly living and expressing themselves all in the name of gender box and stereotypes. They should live and exist. The best troubleshooters do not just think out of the box, they disrupt the thinking process altogether. That is our goal. That is our mission for this year’s International Day of the Girl Child.



And since a society is only as progressive as its number of pro-actively thinking humans, we are beholden to every boy-child too in a bid to helping him see the girl-child as a viable partner and not a threatening competition. He has an unmistakable role to play in trivializing the claptrap which has flooded every nook and cranny of our society against the self-defining mission impact of the girl-child even as he also breaks free from the manacles that keep him down, trapped, scared and amenable.

It is important to add that this year’s exclusive dynamics is necessitated by the need to ensure that girls unlearn a lot of stereotypes.

Therefore, we present the theme for the year; Step outside the gender box: learning free from stereotypes.

We urge you to support this vision. The least you can do is partner with us on and support this glorious quest—if not for anything, for the thrill of adding your time, your treasure and, your talent to re-defining societal constructs.

Neither the girl child nor the boy child will be shut down in their quest to break out of societal-installed boxes; the society has no application or virus to carry out such a despicable act.

International Women’s Day 2023: “DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality”

By -

  It is International women’s day and this year’s focus is on DigitALL: innovation and technology for gender equality. Currently, there exists a wide gender gap in the IT space and the reason is that, for years, women have beloved that technology was just for men. Given our history, this is actually a ridiculous ideology because the first programmer ever was a woman. A mathematician, Ada Lovelace created a programming code in the 1800s, and paved the way for computers today. In the 1900s, Hedy Lamarr, who doubled as an actress and inventor developed the technology that runs our GPS, Bluetooth Wi-Fi, as we know them now. There are a host of other incredible women in history who has been in the IT field yet a gender gap exists and women still think that sciences are solely for men. These limiting beliefs have cost us and have caused women to be excluded from innovations. As a result, many inventions that have been created haven’t been produced with women in mind. For example, when artifi

  Another Women’s World Cup is here again, starting on the 20th of July, 2023. Now that FIFA has decided to increase its allure and make more people fall in love with this category, we should see the effect of expanding the number of teams from 24 to 32 like the men’s category, and increasing the prize money from $30 million to $60 million. Co-host New Zealand will be slugging it out as the first match on the opening day with Norway at Eden Park in Australia, just after the opening ceremony at the same venue. The opening ceremony will feature two artists from both cohost nations performing the tournament’s theme song “Do It Again.” The second match on opening day will see Australia lock horns with Ireland at Stadium Australia in Australia. Captained by Ali Riley, New Zealand is entering the competition for the sixth time in its history, although they have been ever-present in the competition since 2007. Ali Riley was, interestingly, born in the United States but chose to represent the

DALAI LAMA FELLOWSHIP - END OF THE JOURNEY

It was a nice experience to be a fellow of the Dalai Lama fellowship. The Dalai Lama Fellowship offers emerging leaders a rigorous, interdisciplinary program on ways to be a different kind of leader, a leader that connects and cares for self, extends genuine compassion to others, and works for the common humanity. Fellows cultivate practices in mind-training for increasing self-awareness, self-care and resilience, for connecting with others and working across differences, and in building solutions for generations to come. Over the course of the year, with the support of mentors and coaches, each fellow designs and implements an original field project addressing a global challenge. Upon graduation, fellows join a lifelong community, where they connect with and support each other while continuing to advance their leadership journeys. The program awards year-long Fellowships to next generation leaders that are working on social change projects in local communities to address one or more
