It is a great pleasure for me to be writing this letter to the proprietor of the Girl Boss program. I am the legal guardian of both Grace Nahbila Tang and Yowo Britney, two of the girls who participated in the Girl Boss Program.  I am so grateful for what you have done for my two girls. Their skills have greatly been upgraded. Grace used to be very shy girl but thanks to the girl boss program, she is a more confident bold young lady. They both are able to start a business and make better decisions regarding their professional life.

As I watched my mentors walk me through becoming a confident girl, building my skills and guiding me towards self-advocacy, I began realizing the positive changes in my academics, having a better knowledge about my worth as a girl and developing the zeal to impact others too. Originating from a Muslim community where girls are sometimes deprived from education and sent for early marriage, I saw the need to become a mentor to these girls, so as to teach them about their rights, strengths and also guide them towards a better future. It has been a challenging exercise due to some cultural beliefs but gradually, it is creating positive impacts in the girls and their community at large.

Being a GLOW Club member since 2017 has been a wonderful opportunity, exposing me to a wide range of lessons and impacting me positively. I have grown from a quite girl full of fear to a very confident girl promoting girl’s right and equal opportunities. Speaking out and creating awareness about existing stereotypes is one of the measures I have learned and currently using to create safer communities for present and future girls. Thanks to the GLOW club, I have had the opportunity to interact, learn and share experiences with other girls like me, improving on my abilities and developing better strategies to effectively reach my goal. These clubs have taught me the importance of learning through story telling and that has greatly improved my vocabulary, positively distinguishing me from my peers.

Bing introduced to the GLOW was an exciting moment though with no knowledge about its benefit. I was just happy to create new friends and study after staying home for quite some time as a result of the Anglophone crises. In the GLOW Club, I have learned to read, write, advocate and contribute towards making my community a better place. I am now able to face and successful go through common challenges faced by girls and how best to overcome them. The GLOW Club is guiding me to overcome peer pressure and negative social influences that can easily derail me from achieving my dream. I learned to create a road map about my future and that am using to ensure that I achieve my dream of becoming a paediatrician. My sincere gratitude goes to my mentors WESAD and Global GLOW for their relentless efforts to see that girls around the world are able to ignite positive change.

The Girl Boss program guided me in making my business unique and outstanding. That alone has greatly improved on my sales as I can now make my customers to understand the need and importance of my products over that of my competitors. I am a confident girl now that believes so much in all what I dream about as well as how I can go about it.
