MY TODAY AND MY FUTURE!



My journey into business started out of neccesity. i got to a point in my life that i knew it was wrong to collect money from men i was dating.i needed something to do with my hands that could support me and God opened doors.Today am a proud Craftsperson (www.facebook/vera.akpan) and i love what i do. l make Proudly Naija pieces.
My personal Vision is to be an international Brand for my business....i want to promote my Craft far and wide! My vision for my community is to empower young women that have a chance to explore their hidden talents rather then engaging in vices that have long term consequences like teenage pregnancy;rape;sexual molestation and the likes.
l currently have a Mentoring session with college girls and so far its made a huge impact in their lives and mine.
There's nothing like being a voice for the voiceless.those that have no chance;no channel;no ability to put forth their case and see changes.
Being a correspondent will help me with the right skills to interview others;draw out issues especially ones that terrorise and plaque my community and bring them to the front burner for attention.The power of social media needs to be utilised to the maximum.
Am so looking forward to beyond this point (hopefully) because when am empowered a million other women are.
My main goal really is not to change the world but to change one woman at a time because ONE woman holds in her womb the seeds of many generations. That's a huge and enormous responsibility.Collectively we can do more.
