It's a new dispensation

 It's August 1st today. A whole month gone from the second half of the year. It sort of feels like everything is ending and most times we just want to hold on to what we have and stay with it for as long as possible. But what if everything ending isn't so bad. What if that door closing is going to be the best thing to happen to you, what if that chapter closing opens you up to the best chapter of your life, the page ending is ending critical challenges.  Every now and then, change is inevitable and guess who else just closed a chapter!!!  Drum rolls please!!!

Friday was national girlfriend's day and Sunday was apparently national sister's day. Who honestly knows when all these days started coming into play? But what's important is the celebration of women in our lives. Female friendships are often overlooked, insulted, claiming women are problematic, stressful, take things too seriously just because they care about their friendships enough to put emotions into it.  Seeing people celebrate females they have relationships with, either: platonic, romantic or even familial, it brings joy to the heart and keeps hope in society. And to the tea, trust the gossip mill to have kept running,the weary eyes were out; watching for the deliveries, the money bouquets, the roses and the posts. We saw you all. To all the singles and singlets, our sincere sympathies 😂😂 and to the understanding girlfriends even more sympathy graced to you.  This is to the girlies, the girlfriends and the sister. Happy girlfriends' day🥂, you are...

In this role, my goal is to keep our communication smooth, our records well-organised, and to support projects that will make Lead City Voices even stronger and more impactful. I want to help create an environment where every voice is heard and where we can keep raising the bar together. This position has already taught me so much from better time management to working closely with people who inspire me daily. It has helped me grow in confidence, leadership, and service.
