See the passion in my eyes lol! |
Hey guys!
So a few weeks ago I was invited to speak at an event organized by Faecare Foundation for female entrepreneurs living with disability find out more about the event Here.
Looking through the room, I saw women who are hungry for more. Hungry for a better life, hungry to be seen as business women who are hard working and enterprising. The question on my mind is; will women and girls living with various forms of disability ever be given a platform to showcase their talents, wares and expertise in the business world? Will these women be given the opportunity to compete and earn a decent living without being judged for looking different? Will there creativity, talent, personality and passion be seen by the public before their disability?
Women and girls living with one disability or the other have been held back over the years by a number of things ranging from lack of access to education, inclusion and participation, limited opportunities to access funds and training's, barriers thrown at them by society and not being taken seriously to mention a few.
