Next steps!!

April was Child Abuse Prevention Month. This is when I took a small step towards realizing my purpose. It was a struggle at first because I did not have any resources but I knew I had to do something. I went to several agencies, that will remain nameless, to ask for materials, and I was given the side eye like who are you? Who do you work for? I had to keep explaining myself. I do not work for anyone; I am just a concerned citizen wanting to make a difference. After visiting several agencies, I finally found someone who gave me all the materials I needed both in Spanish and English.

 I must admit at this point I was getting very nervous that I almost wanted to back out. I was able to set up a table and pass out information, and talked to anyone who would listen about child abuse prevention .I am glad I did not back out I felt empowered to move forward. I felt I had found my purpose in life and nothing and no one can stand in my way. 

Now that I have overcome my fear of talking to people about a topic that is considered a taboo, it is now time for me to move to the next step. I am currently working on building a grassroots organization to combat child sexual abuse in every aspect from providing education on how to recognize the signs of abuse and how to prevent child abuse.

I will be traveling to Nigeria soon to start forming relationships with the communities and the agencies representing the interest of the youth. I will be traveling with supplies and necessities for the selected community and school. Right now, I am stock piling donated clothing and school supplies, so by the time I am ready to go home I would have collected a substantial amount of donated items. We would like to support a struggling school by donating supplies needed such as; grade appropriate reading books, paper, pencils, markers, rulers, etc.

I plan to have a community day invite the entire community out to let them know that we care and we are here to help in any way we can.

If you would like to get involved either by donating your time or supplies, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at didi.udofiah@facebook.com, or mystory4healing@yahoo.com.

Peace world and more grease to your elbows!

I AM BACK!

Hello world!! I know that is has been a long time since I wrote on my blog. Well since I came out with my story I have been going through emotional cleansing. I have been through some ups and downs. My emotions have been drain and tested. I thank my mother for her continued support. Mom I can always count on you! I now understand you better. Sorry for all I put you through as a teenager. I want to thank everyone who reached out to support me on this journey. I most importantly want to thank my cousin Eno Georgette Inwek for igniting the fire in me I will never forget the day you called me out!!Lol. Since the last time I wrote I put myself in an unhealthy situation that fought to kill the light that was inside me. One of the biggest lessons I learned this past month is to avoid negativity at all cost!! I learned to surround myself with people who are positive and that are not afraid to call me out on my B.S but at the same time help me see alternative to my destructive behaviors. I learned that claiming self worth and self esteem is an everyday journey. I have to consciously tell myself everyday that I am WORTH IT!! I learned that without GOD I AM NOTHING AND I AM CAPABLE OF DOING NOTHING WITHOUT HIM! I LEARNED THAT WHEN I TURNED MYSELF COMPLETELY TO GOD THAT HE INSTANTLY OPEN DOORS FOR ME! I LEARNED THAT MY DESTINY IS ONLY IN GOD’S HAND AND I MUST SUBMIT TO HIS WILL IN MY LIFE!! THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I LEARNED THIS PAST FEW MONTHS IS THAT IN OTHER FOR ME TO WALK INTO MY CALLING I MUST GO THROUGH AN INTENSE EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL,  AND SPIRITUAL CLEANSING!!IT IS NOT EASY BUT I MUST STRIVE EVERY DAY TO LIVE LIFE EVERYDAY AS IT WAS MY LAST!

Peace world and more grease to your elbows!
