Upon return from Beijing in 1996, women took a wow never to live their lives the way they were again. By that, we mean, women decided to change the narrative, assert themselves to positions that would make them shine their light on the world. The Beijing International Conference on Women had to happen to build up this awareness we now experience.

To say women have been more enlightened as to their needs and aspirations, is not any exaggeration. In fact, there is more consciousness, even if they still have scores of issues to deal with.

And talking about challenges that continues to hover around women, it is being said they are still not making use of their potentials. Women are intelligent – they are resourceful – they are empathetic – they are good domestic managers – they are subtle in their approach of things – they are talented – they are willing to keep the environment around them peaceful.

However, women are still taking the back seat in many aspects and a whole lot of them continue to think the men folk should run the show. In the African diaspora, women with great talent have yielded in the name of making ends meet.

So, if they were talented singers, dancers, writers, designers, instrumentalists, you name it, they have decided to let go of these skills because as they put it, they do not bring food on the table. Wrong way of thinking

Well, some African women in Europe think women are bigger than this. It is high time they got out of the box and explored their passion, if not for money, at least for psychological balance. They are planning an upcoming conference to that effect.

Dubbed the Assiduous Women International Conference, this come together takes place on February the 17th to the 18th. Ahead of that conference, the organizers are joining us on radio to talk about it. They will be yours in a moment.

Meantime, good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you find yourself – welcome to Apex Snapshot, women empowerment version.
