Why do you want to join youthpower
How I want to make an Impact

I am a changemaker because I am an Entrepreneur, Missionary and Visionary. I would like to join YouthLead because community is at the heart of everything I do, I believe in Servant leadership and I'm passionate about youth.

I am a woman of faith, a devoted mother and an advocate for change. I grew up in a single-parent home raised by my mother a skilled and educated teacher.

Growing up into adulthood, I constantly saw things which needed to be mended, fixed, adjusted and changed. I was not a woman who stand idly by, and see someone fail, while others simply stood around muttering under bated breath awaiting disaster. There was always a compel to do more.

As an Entrepreneur, my quest for wanting to evoke change didn’t waver. In 2017 with strength the Lord provided, I founded SLUDTERA, a social enterprise with a mission to improve communities, provide people access to employment, and to help the environment through education, training, and entrepreneurship. What did I see that needed to change? The high unemployment rate, particularly among young people and marginalized individuals (stay-at-home moms, retirees, and the unemployed). I was also on a mission, to let these individuals know that they were not alone, and by God’s grace and with their trust in Him, they could make a change in their lives.
