''I champion for the rights of Widows, ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ซ๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ง๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ฒ๐.
My experience of surviving domestic violence and surviving my late husband's sword of death made me become so passionate to create a platform where women like myself could articulate their issues and get legal aid because sometimes society denies them their rights.
This is how I started Come Together widows and orphans organization (CTWOO )
The ๐ซ๐๐๐จ๐ ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง is so heart-warming to date. My morale and motive to serve was ignited once more. It was so humbling to be recognized in a full room of so many amazing people and also several partnership conversations started.
The award has earned me more recognition as an individual. I have been awarded two times after the Women on Boards Network Award. As an organization we have been entrusted by more Grassroots women.'
