One of the greatest blessings about becoming a mother for me is that I finally found peace in advocating for myself.

I’m vocal. I have always spoken up. But it was often a struggle soaked in guilt, self-doubt, and never-ending self judgement. After all, people are more comfortable around women who are seen and not heard.

But the more antenatal classes I joined (I joined so many across the globe virtually while I was preggers), the more I realized that a key superpower we all need to tap into is the power to advocate for ourselves. It however comes with a responsibility to educate ourselves and be armed with knowledge. How do you know if you’re fighting for the best for yourself if you’re not well informed?

I haven’t had the time to truly share some of my biggest thoughts and lessons over the past couple of years, but this is something I am elated to do as we step into the New Year. #VeeLosophy

As we prepare for the New Year, I just wanted to remind you to add ADVOCATE FOR MYSELF to that list that has your goals for 2022 – I can’t wait to hear the testimonies about how things that could have gone one way turned around for your good because you chose your ground and you stood firm 🥊
