. A passion to support women and children and to empower women in every area of their lives.

My MPhil thesis in Sociology which focused on empowering rural African women through income-generating activities, is an example to support my passion.
Deep interest in supporting new immigrants to Canada to obtain affordable and safe housing, while supporting them through various forms of support, and appropriate referrals to enable them to live a fulfilling life with their families here in Canada.
A strong advocate against domestic violence and to see families thrive. I love to see people thrive, hence my focus on restoring hope, and encouragement, pointing people to appropriate community resources and offering practical support to all who come my way.
