A girl of shadows’ would be the title for how I used to live my life. Almost always lurking in shadows despite the wealth of potentials I knew I had in me. "It is time to Girl up "is the main gospel of Mission Queens Girl Up and the message resonates with me.

During the lockdown due to the surprise outbreak of the famous COVID-19, I for one was very worried and thinking the planned club activities would not run smoothly, since we were all at home; I was proved wrong. It had me thinking, if while at home with all its limitations such impact could still be made in the lives of the members , then I can't imagine the fun we will have when we have in-person meetings.

When I was invited to the club, my first reaction was - "well let me just join and see ". And now, I don't regret joining one bit. I love my fellow queens who saw this opportunity and thought of me as well. That is what I would do for other girls as well- I am ever ready to invite all I know to this awesome all in one club

Due to my size, I mostly found myself a victim of bully especially in primary and senior high school. This might sound trivial but it broke me. It did great harm to my confidence. As I look back now, I regret not speaking up for myself. The club engages in several outreach programs to engage young ladies. Through this platform, I will be able to enlighten them to do for themselves what I wish I did for myself. Girls should no longer be on mute!!!!

Growing up I realized there were many incidents of teenage pregnancies in my family. This did not appeal to me at all as I saw potentials go down the drain. I needed to learn ways to disrupt this trend and ways to its prevent reoccurrence. This space coupled with its mission and vision provides me with just that opportunity
