A few days ago, Kamala Harris became the first woman to be elected as Vice President of the United States. She makes history as the first woman to be elected Vice President. Based on her descent, she is the first Black woman and the first American Indian woman to become elected to the second highest office in the US as well. This is a big win for women, people of color and for anyone who identifies with her one way or another. This is a big win for me as a woman particularly because it shows the world that women can aspire to lead in countries as big…

Message to Girls to mark International Day of the Girl Child 2020
Lisa Bevere said that “God would never have granted women a voice if he intended them to remain silent. God knew that the world need the voice and influence of women”. Today is the International Day of the Girl. This year’s theme is My Voice: Our Equal Future. We are a generation of women who would not cower in silence or hide our faces in shame. We are a generation of women who do not accept the status quo. We question the things we do not understand and challenge the things we do not accept. This is your time!. Enough of letting your displeasures or discontentments go unheard. Enough of…

International Day of the Girl Child 2020 -Words on Marble – Letter to A Young Girl
It is the International Day of the Girl and this year’s theme is My voice, Our equal future. For years, society has upheld the culture of silence. They have said time and time again that you should be seen and not heard. They question why you would dare speak back to a boy. They frown when you raise your hand in class. They hiss when you question agelong traditions and hit their head in wonder when you say you have an opinion. They tag you a rebel – a person everyone should be wary of. They expect you to be accepting of everything they throw at you. And they measure…

It is my 2 Year Blog Anniversary!
TODAY IS MY BLOG ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!! On this day, two years ago, I started my blog (roselineadewuyi.com) and so far I have published 126 articles since I first began. I nursed the vision to start this blog while I was in the USA for the MCW leadership program. After the program, everyone needed to embark on a social impact project. My area is gender advocacy and during the course of the training, we all had to write out our plans for the fellowship year. It was a great activity for me. By then, I already had a clear picture of what I wanted to do, and putting it down felt like…

Fathers who expect a Medal for doing the bare minimum for their Kids.
It bothers me that we have turned parenting into mothering, that is, into a one-woman affair. We have made it look like the emotional and personal needs of children should only be met by their mothers. This is so wrong and it encourages men to be absent and unavailable for their children. Sadly, many women who didn’t have present fathers have gotten so used to this one-sided type of parenting that they see it as normal. Hence, you see them being overly grateful/gushing about every little thing their husbands do for their children. What do I mean? In a group I belong to, someone threw a question to the floor…
