EMPOWERING WOMEN: Lessons Learned from Aunt Sadaka

EMPOWERING WOMEN: Lessons Learned from Aunt Sadaka 0

In filming the latest episode of my podcast with Aunt Sadaka, we faced numerous challenges. However, I had made a promise to myself long ago to start with what I have and produce content that I personally find valuable.

Aunt Sadaka is someone I deeply admire. She has the ability to not just speak with you, but to speak into your soul. When I reached out to her, I knew I wanted to delve into the topic of self-love, something I had been struggling with for a long time. It’s incredible how finding love for oneself can be so transformative.

We finally had our sit-down this month, coinciding with Women’s Month celebrations. As I prepared for the episode, I couldn’t help but notice the abundance of comments online, especially from men, regarding Women’s Day celebrations. While organizations were vocal about inclusivity, I observed a lack of championing movements from men.

I want to make it clear that I’m not a feminist in the traditional sense, but I strongly believe in women’s empowerment and its positive impact on development. It’s about equality and fair opportunities, not about being the same as men.

Women have always played crucial roles in shaping homes, supporting spouses, and raising children, all while pursuing their dreams. However, amidst our strides, I worry that we may be losing touch with our femininity and traditional roles.

This episode with Aunt Sadaka shed light on how she, like many other women, managed to balance career aspirations with familial responsibilities. It reinforced the notion that we can do it all, but it requires humility, exercising feminism, and practicing self-love.

As we celebrate Women’s Month, I want every woman to know that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. We are not here to compete or replace men; we excel at what we do best. Happy Women’s Month!

Reflecting on an insightful session earlier today with Mr. Yassim, a budding entrepreneur. These interactions are always a learning experience for me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to exchange insights and grow together with my clients.

You Can Achieve It…

You Can Achieve It… 0

Well, let me tell you, that phrase has been my life motto since I first stumbled upon it, way back when. My dear uncle Say used to tease me, saying that if he had 1000 Tshs for every idea I presented to him, I’d be a billionaire by now. Talk about setting high expectations!

But seriously, back then, life was like one big canvas waiting to be painted with dreams and ambitions. I’d come up with wild ideas left and right, and Uncle Say would humor me with his encouraging nods and playful jabs. Ah, those were the days – when believing seemed so easy, and the future looked bright with promise.

Fast forward to adulthood, and let’s just say reality hit me like a ton of bricks. Bills to pay, responsibilities to juggle, and dreams that suddenly felt a lot more out of reach than they used to. Turns out, being a grown-up is a lot less fun than it seemed when I was a kid! But here’s the thing – despite the challenges and setbacks, that childhood mantra still rings true for me. Sure, the path to success may be filled with twists and turns, but I refuse to let go of my beliefs. I’ll keep hustling, keep pushing forward, and keep believing that if I can believe it, I can darn well achieve it.

So, to all my fellow believers out there feeling the weight of adulthood bearing down on you, I say this: don’t lose sight of your beliefs. Keep believing big, keep working hard, and keep believing in yourself. Because who knows? Maybe one day, we’ll look back and laugh at all the obstacles we overcame on the way to making our dreams a reality.

Beyond Capital: Why Investing in Women is More Than Just Funding. 0


In Tanzania, where I’ve witnessed firsthand the determination of women seeking loans through VICOBA SACCOs, the theme takes on a profound significance. I vividly recall the story of a close friend who, despite her drive and determination, encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of comprehensive financial education. This personal experience highlights the critical need for not just financial support, but also for the empowerment that comes with financial literacy. Mere access to capital is not sufficient for sustainable success. We need the knowledge and skills to effectively manage finances, make informed decisions, and navigate the complexities of running a business.
It’s about more than just securing funding; there is a pressing need for mentorship, guidance, and access to networks that can provide invaluable insights and support. As women entrepreneurs, we must proactively seek opportunities for mentorship and continuous learning to enhance our capabilities and resilience in the face of challenges.
This month, I hope to see more discussions, articles, forums, and policies addressing the critical need for comprehensive financial literacy tailored to women entrepreneurs in Tanzania. By advocating for and actively participating in initiatives that promote financial education, we can collectively work towards creating an environment where women are not only invested in but also empowered with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in their ventures. It is through this holistic approach that we can effectively accelerate progress and create lasting impact within our entrepreneurial community.
