The girl child is still one of the most abused living things in #SouthSudan. Today, on #DayOfTheGirl https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> I promise you to keep my word. You deserve more and you deserve better. I& #39;ll keep fighting for you to be the best version of yourself. I can promise you that much, sister https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Gelbes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gelbes Herz">

Last year I went to Nile International to speak on Menstrual Hygiene, my baby girls were not interested in what I was saying. I asked "What would you like me to speak to you on?" And one girl said "We& #39;d like you to listen to us instead of coming and telling us what you want"

I& #39;m an attitude type of a woman so I was definitely now listening. Another girl asked me "Aren& #39;t you a model? And you do like fashion stuff?" Lol, I said "something like that". They said they wanted to have a creative arts day. At this point I am IN LOVE.

I gathered creatives, and we spent hours and days rehearsing, my favorite was @AdeThaTruth poetry team. They spoke better than the eldest of us in this country. I had a leading team of 10 babygirls and one of them said to me "we really needed you, thank you"

Now that I think back, the leadership they& #39;ve shown me, the demand from the start, the way they involved around 250 students, including ages of 8, the HOPE they gave me, maybe they needed me but maybe I needed them.

The girl child is the brightest living thing in this country and I say that with my entire chest https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Gelbes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gelbes Herz">
