There is something about seeing women find their voices, grow in confidence, and realise that they belong in every room where decisions are being made. It does something to my heart. ❤️
I had the pleasure of facilitating Module 12: Introduction to Advocacy and Digital Campaigning under the TuWezeshe Akina Dada Fellowship, organised by
@cdf_tanzania We spent time exploring advocacy, digital campaigning, and how we can use our voices and digital platforms to challenge issues, influence change, and make our communities better. Through discussions and group activities, we looked at how to move beyond simply talking about an issue to building campaigns that inspire people to listen, care, and take action.
But beyond the session itself, this experience reminded me of something deeply personal.
Training young women and fellow women is not just my passion; it is something my heart is deeply attached to. I love seeing women become louder about the things that matter. I love seeing them embrace growth, discover their potential, and become confident enough to take up space. And I especially love seeing women sitting at decision-making tables, not simply because they are women, but because they are knowledgeable, capable, and have something valuable to contribute.
I believe in a world where women don’t have to keep proving that they deserve to be heard. A world where our ideas, expertise, and leadership speak for themselves, and where we have the confidence and opportunities to shape the decisions that affect our lives.
As a journalist, digital rights advocate, and trainer, I believe that our voices are powerful, but when they are informed, strategic, and united, they can become catalysts for meaningful social change.
Every time I get an opportunity to share knowledge, mentor, or create room for another woman to grow, I see it as an investment in something bigger than myself.
To the TuWezeshe Akina Dada fellows, keep learning, keep growing, keep speaking up, and never shrink yourself to make others comfortable. There is room for you at the table, and your voice matters. ❤️
S/O to @cdf_tanzania for trusting me with this opportunity.
