African Woman Really Doing it for themselves!
When Liberia became the first country in Africa to have a female president in 2006 it made history and left alot of people with questions on whether will a woman be able to take over such a huge position or not? It is amazing how Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is still in the game and has proven alot of people wrong not only man but woman too. Lets face it we as woman also lack self esteem and have not yet adhered to the change. As a young woman in Africa it is an honour and privellege and makes me proud to be witnessing real change in the continent. Hailing from this continent in the past meant that woman are restricted to alot of things simply because of the culture and belief of most man in Africa, tradition simply meant that a womans job is in the kitchen and only in the kitchen. I am proud to witness such magnificent work that is done by fellow females in our continent it is uplifting and showing that ladies are doing it for themselves.

Recently news flashed that we have indeed another female president who has made history by becoming Malawis first female president and only the second in the continent. It is woman like Joyce Banda who make us strive and work hard to become successful in everything that we do. They have broken the barrier of negativity towards woman and have shown their capability that if tou put your mind to it you can never go wrong that what man can do we can also achieve. Coming from an era where woman were deprived and meant to endure marriages so that they are not empowered to stand up on their own, but through all odds these woman have overcome the challenges and have built a platform to empower every woman in the world. They have paved a way for the youth, that through all circumstances and challenges that we are facing in the already male dominating environment we should not be intimidated but rather find ways to uplift ourselves. Slowly but surely woman ARE taking over, the sky is the limit and it is up to every individual how far they are willing to reach. YES WE CAN!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa

It good to see femeles taking top position, these should be a lesson to other females that nothing is impossible they should not undermine themselves,hopefully we will see more female politicians being given chances to lead prominent post within their countries.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post, it is good that we should appreciate women leaders in our world. I'm just worried about the absence of captions on your photos - it would add a lot of flavour.
