My Reflection Journey Through Crown The Woman South Sudan.
My name is Sukeji Modi. I am glad to share my journey and early days as a mentee of Crown the Woman South Sudan, an Organization that ushered many Girls and Women to empowerment and Gender equality projects that positively influenced their lives in South Sudan.
My journey in Crown The Woman South Sudan started the Adolescent Girls mentorship program that was organized for Secondary schools through engaging activities which included Debates, mentorship sessions and Games this was the genesis of more marvelous sessions with certified mentors who always reached out to tackle sensitive topics such as menstrual health, child marriage and Gender Based Violence this birthed great impact among adolescents girls where I stand as a beneficiary and the creation of lucrative clubs in secondary schools like the Gender Based Violence club which elevated the leadership perspective of young people to the angle of Gender inclusivity in leadership.
ACHIEVEMENTS.
Through this mentorship program, I got the opportunity to attend the East Africa Girls Leadership Summit 2019 in Nairobi, which further boosted my advocacy skills. I graduated as a peer educator, which made me a mentor to my peers ever since then till date.
I furthermore attained a recommendation from the Executive Director to soar in higher spaces as she is the founder of a global organization that advocates for the rights of Girls through Girl-centered projects.
I currently serve as a member of the Girls Advisory Council, where we discuss issues affecting girls with sustainable solutions, which offers me a wide opportunity in building networks, executing global girl-centered agendas, and enhancing my leadership skills.
ANY ADVICE TO MY YOUNGER SELF.
I would advise my younger self to believe in the beauty of my dreams and grab opportunities that align with my passion, as well as keep in touch with like-minded circles, mentors, and friends.
My special thanks to Crown the Woman South Sudan and the leadership of Mrs. Riya William for tirelessly empowering girls and creating impact. This legacy speaks and continues to be a beacon of Hope and transformation in South Sudan.
Many young girls who benefitted from the mentorship activities of Crown The Woman can attest to the role models this space introduced to them beyond the activities of impact. There are infinite stories of resilience, growth, and empowerment that the awesome organization has written in the pages of every South Sudanese adolescent girl who attended the programs.
Donors and stakeholders remain the driving force behind the tremendous impact that Crown The Woman has driven in South Sudan. May it continue to reach other girls who will also benefit and actualize their dreams and create a GBV-free South Sudan.
