I have a legal background which I have used strategically and creatively.<\/p><p><strong>Working to end violence against women<\/strong><\/p><p>Most of you might know me for my campaign on bride price that culminated in the landmark Supreme Court ruling that outlawed bride price refund in 2015. Did I say success? When violence against women still rages on? \u00a0Well through MIFUMI\u2019s work, thousands of women have become empowered to resist it. That\u2019s success.<\/p><p><strong>Poetry and Writing<\/strong><\/p><p>I raised myself on words. I am also an African Poet, a playwright and a novelist, in that order, according to my A\u2019Levels pass slip. I write primarily for my pleasure but in later life, when I started writing essays, it was to try and influence others.<\/p><p><strong>Finding yourself in order to give to others<\/strong><\/p><p>After 20 years of work in gender and development do I count myself a success? What is success? I\u2019ve come to realise that the important thing in life is finding yourself and your unique gift and how you can use this to make a difference in the lives of others. It is from such a location that you are likely to find happiness and to spread that happiness to others.<\/p><p><strong>African Women\u2019s Village Podcast<\/strong><\/p><p>I want my podcast \u2013 the African Women\u2019s Village \u2013 to become the largest social media platform for rural women. Through this podcast, I will discuss gender and development, human rights, and what works. I will interview African women who have used their personal gifts to locate themselves in society in a way that adds meaning to life and aids development.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a8a7e58 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a8a7e58\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e9e8b75\" data-id=\"e9e8b75\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-924cc63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"924cc63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, Welcome to my website.
