Moving forward one step at the time |
Two months ago I was admitted to be part of young women of Southern
African Young Women movement to receive mentorship and coaching.
I was so excited to start to start the program and meet my
coach, I thought it was the easiest decision I had never taken until I started
realizing how hard it was shifting from my comfort zone and doing what I
believed was Rights to do. At first I didn’t realize how important this program was for me, but I knew that I needed a time to STOP reflect and rethink new ways of
moving forward with my life whether be it professionally, socially, psychologically, spiritually and in my activism.
This was an exciting opportunity that came at the right time
when I needed it most, on the first and the second of October I met the larger group
of young women from Southern Africa as well as our coaches In South Africa and
then the Self-Discovery journey began.

reflecting on where i am, images speaks... |
As much as I was cheerful to start the program, anxiousness
was stalking my inner being and that created a fear that I could not explain,
until I arrived at the meeting venue late around 12h 30 on the first day because I had
missed my flight the previous day, I found my Fellow sisters presenting posters
their had just made sharing about them, watching them connect to their
themselves and express their feelings cleared my mind about what I though was
confusion about me. Then I Understood that it was “FEAR”, fear of change,
fear of unknown things, fear of travelling within myself and being able to
share what i will discover. During the process of making my own poster for presentation I was able to
clearly define where exactly I was, And I got clear ideas on where I would like to
be, all I need now is the “HOW” to get there… this exercise assisted me make the “STOP”
that I needed.
After looking at personality types, I got confused because I
could relate to many types, but after conversation with one of our coaches I Understood
and fully agreed and make peace with the type of personality that I am.
