My Divine flower, beautiful and natural but I was denied the chance,right and opportunity to feel its blossom.
I can’t water it anymore.
For its loss ,I am in pain , I suffer because naturally it was a divine flower that was meant ignite my soul and spirit. @TheFiveFound

FGM is a violation of human rights, and it is about time we stopped subjecting our girls to the physical, psychological, and emotional traumas that comes with it. @midpkenya , we are at the forefront when it comes to fighting #FGM. It is everybody's responsibility to #EndFGM

It took me some time to realize that life is a Journey.

The purpose is not to complete all check marks as fast as possible, or to respond to anyone’s expectations.

The purpose is to build a bigger vision for your life.

Here are some clues how:🧵🪡

The session was highly insightful, allowing the community to articulate their perspectives 🤩 Well done 😄

[zeituna Abdullahi @Z3ituna]

As #Wanandoto, we have had privilege of promoting menstrual health management (MHM) among young women across various cultural settings. It is always inspiring to witness how ongoing cultural promotion enhances awareness, especially by encouraging men to engage in the discussion.

[Drawing Dreams Initiative @DDINITIATIVE]

Period Poverty is costing women, girls, menstruators too much~ their dignity, their freedom, their rights,self worth, their comfort, their lives and it does not have to be that way! 2nd Annual #MenstrualEquitySummit🇰🇪 was a resounding success! Much gratitude to all our partners.
