Briefly explain what you do for a living?
I work with the Product Organization of Sterling Bank, and it has been a good experience for me. I have learned so much on the job that I consider good for my career. As a Social Media manager and Graphic designer, I help manage brands’ social media and bring to life every written conceptualization made for design to capture minds. With this, you can say I am also a content creator.
How was your experience participating in the Sterling DIP?
I have to express that it was truly enlightening and captivating. And the facilitators and fellow persons with disabilities like myself made my stay worth it. For the first time, I felt a sense of belonging to a community. This is an experience that will forever stay with me.What was the best part of the program?
From the session on Mindfulness and Self Discovery, I learned to live in the present and be more mindful with a positive attitude toward the future. In fact, this shaped my mind and my belief that greatness can only be achieved by a ready and dedicated mind. I’ve had my self-esteem on the rise and my resilience spirit has grown exponentially. I began to experience the new me. Thanks to Project Enable Africa, I can now feed myself and worry less about tomorrow. Project Enable Africa provided me and others with an enabling and inclusive workspace. With the help of Project Enable Africa, I now believe dreams come true. Right now, I work in one of the leading financial institutions!
What would be your word of advice to fellow PWDs?
To my fellow PWDs, I want to encourage you to be happy with yourself and have a positive mindset about life. I would like to advise that persons with disabilities should learn relevant skills and be competent. These will also help in the technological world we are in now.
