So much has changed since I was 16. Obviously!
The world is moving at a much faster pace now and 16-year-old teens are faced with a whole new set of influences and challenges as they navigate through their often confusing teenage lives.
This video sums up a bit about my experiences as a teenager and what I wish to tell teenagers in this generation. It’s confusing out there, I know, but I hope this video helps you find your steps.
Today, 11 October marks the International Day of the Girl.
The day aims to highlight and address the needs and challenges girls face, while promoting girls’ empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights.
Girls are not only moving from dreaming to achieving, girls are breaking boundaries and barriers posed by stereotypes and exclusion, including those directed at children with disabilities and those living in marginalized communities.
As entrepreneurs, innovators and initiators of global movements, girls are creating a world that is relevant for them and future generations.
Let’s commit to empowering girls and teaching them to believe in their dreams.
A girl with a dream today can become a woman with a vision tomorrow.
Girls are unscripted.
Girls are unstoppable.
Girls can do anything – and everything!
