Yesterday was a fulfilling day for me and served as a beautiful reminder of why I do what I do.

Hope Alive for Possibilities Initiative (HAPI) in partnership with FOS Feminista, hosted a one-day capacity building for caregivers and parents on their role in supporting the menstrual health of women and girls with disabilities here in Benue State.

It was interactive, honest, and empowering — because when caregivers are informed, girls disabilities are supported to live with dignity, confidence, and pride.

I watched parents and caregivers lean in, share their experiences, and commit to supporting the menstrual health of women and girls with disabilities.

As a HAPI team member and someone passionate about disability inclusion, I felt proud to witness this shift — where caregivers are not just providers, but allies in dignity, health, and empowerment.

This reaffirmed my belief that when we empower caregivers with the right knowledge, we create a ripple effect that ensures no woman or girl with a disability is left behind because of her period.

I left the room inspired, knowing that little by little, we are breaking the silence, ending the stigma, and building an inclusive future where no girl is left behind simply because of her period.

Grateful. Inspired. Connected.

Being part of the August Cohort of the Climate Justice Fellowship was such an insightful and impactful journey. We were equipped with knowledge and practical skills on climate change, climate justice, advocacy, storytelling and sustainability — lessons that will stay with me for life.

But beyond the training, the real gift was the wonderful people I met in my cohort. Each person brought their unique perspective, passion, and energy, making the learning experience even richer and unforgettable.

A big thank you to Nigeria for investing in young people and creating this platform where we can learn, connect, and become champions for Inclusive climate justice.

On June 19th, 2025, in Abuja, Jobberman Nigeria , in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, hosted the 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐬 (TEIMC) Roundtable—a bold and timely initiative aimed at transforming access to digital work for those who are often left behind.

I had the honour of representing my team alongside my colleague Adebayo Idowu Omeiza of Hope Alive For Possibilities Initiative - HAPI at this critical event, where voices from diverse sectors came together to push for inclusive change.

The discussions were honest, evidence-based, and centered around one goal: expanding equitable access to digital employment—particularly for women in underserved communities, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

A key highlight of the roundtable was the official launch of a groundbreaking research report titled:
"Technology and Employment Inclusion in Marginalised Contexts."

The report uncovered important insights:

🔹 Only 4.17% of employers use jobtech platforms to recruit from marginalised groups, while 71% still rely on referrals.
🔹 25% of unemployed women without formal education live in urban centers, not just rural areas.
🔹 Among PWDs, 33% are most interested in tech-enabled careers, followed by agriculture (37%) and the creative industry (22%).
🔹 A significant 53% of IDPs are self-employed, leveraging mobile phones to run and grow their businesses.

These statistics are more than numbers—they’re a clarion call for action.

The roundtable closed with a strong message: translate this data into policies, partnerships, and practical programs that will open real pathways to dignified, well-paying digital work—for everyone, regardless of background or ability.

𝐖𝐞 are proud to be part of this movement. Together, we are committed to shaping a more inclusive digital workforce.

Disability Inclusion is the Way Forward in Benue State.

I had the honour of facilitating two impactful sessions during the Stakeholder Engagement and Strategic Training for Grassroots Women & Youths with Disabilities organized by Hope Alive for Possibilities Initiative on the 13th and 14th of this month in Oju, Benue State.

🎤 Session 1: Self-Confidence as a Tool to Overcome Challenges as a Person with Disability.

🧠 We explored how building inner strength and self-belief can empower persons with disabilities to rise above societal stigma and push past limitations.

📱 Session 2: Social Media Advocacy
Participants learned how to harness the power of digital platforms to raise their voices, share their stories, and advocate for inclusion and disability rights.

Seeing the passion, resilience, and energy of the participants—especially women and youths with disabilities—was inspiring. 🙌🏾

🙏🏾 A heartfelt thank you to HAPI for trusting me with this opportunity to contribute. Together, we’re building a more inclusive and empowered grassroots community.

On March 25, 2025, I had the privilege of representing Hope Alive for Possibilities Initiative (HAPI) alongside our Executive Director at Dialogue Series 1: Non-State Actors Engagement in the Implementation of Nigeria’s Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP III) 2023-2027.

This impactful event, organized by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment (FMLE) and the Federal Ministry of Youth Development (FMYD), brought together key stakeholders—employers, workers, and civil society organizations—to strengthen partnerships for employment and decent work in Nigeria.

I will remain committed to advocating for inclusive employment opportunities, ensuring that persons with disabilities are not left behind in Nigeria’s Decent Work agenda. Everyone deserves fair, safe, and productive work, and we are dedicated to making that a reality.
