What does life as a woman or girl look like in your country / city / town / village? Any issues / challenges / exciting milestones? It really is a struggle. There are so many stereotypes set up; you know, the saying “a woman’s place is in the kitchen”. You’re allowed to work but I still need a man in order to be deemed successful. The dependence is at an all time high. Women’s rights exist but not to the fullest abilities. Male privilege is the biggest issue that is faced today. Sometimes women are not taken seriously just because we are women.
What are you most passionate about and what are you doing with that passion? I’m really passionate about writing, especially writing things to do with women empowerment and motivation. I have a blog where I post motivational articles and share my stories of experiences I have gone through and how I got over them.
What's your definition of success? Success shouldn’t be just defined by the number of zeros on your pay chèque or the number of cars you have. Success, especially when you a woman, is being able to be content and happy with what you are doing with your talents. Self-love, self-respect and self-determination also count as success. Once you have achieved these, the rest should fall into place.
Describe yourself in one word: "I am... Creative
Complete this sentence: "To be a girl or woman today, is to be..." The girl or woman who is ready to take on the future.
