So...if you've been rocking with me for a while then you will know that I have a real heart for women and all things female empowerment.
If you've been paying really close attention, you'll also know that a lot of the reason for this is because of things like:
Having a grandmother who was denied an education (whilst growing up in Nigeria) simply because she was female- restricting her options and quality of life
Witnessing multiple (other female) role models either forfeit their dreams, stay in abusive relationships or operate from a place of low self-worth
due to projected social norms, tradition and religion.
This is why I do what I do in terms of writing, mentoring, podcasting and speaking via the FarAboveRubiesCollection.com. (By changing the narrative for Christian women- one Bible story at a time- my mission is to help Christian women to know their worth, power and purpose so that they can speak up, step out and shine as women of God (rather than end up in the kinds of situations I grew up seeing)).
Well, recently I had the opportunity to take my message offline when I was invited to speak at the "Real Life" youth event at Edmonton Methodist Church, as shown via the video below.
