" You can not do this because you are a female ", "you must do this because you are a female ".The issue of gender roles and male dominance in prominent spaces always keeps my mind in space wondering what ever went wrong. I believe WE ALL CAN regardless of our gender because why not? I am a promulgator of the word to young girls to simply " Girl Up".

Effective communication wasn't a thing for me because I always fumbled in that aspect of my life. As a member of the Education Committee that has become a thing of the past. I have learned how important it is to coordinate, be creative, and self-develop; especially since as an education committee member you are mostly holding the fort when it comes to public education. Thanks, M.Q Girl Up.

I just could not comprehend why matters relating to sexual and reproductive health were almost a taboo for discussion, leaving we the young ones with alternatives of either scheduling appointments with health experts (if you can afford) or simply resorting to our inexperienced peers who seem to know more (We all know the down sides of that). I want to be a force of change in this regard and with the enlightenment from M.Q, I know I'd be totally up for this challenge in the future.
